Edging resumes
After a week or so break, I’ve resumed work on my ecru edging (DMC perle 12). I have just short of 3 feet completed.
I need perhaps as much as 2 feet more, maybe. I’ll have to measure it again against the apron.
The picture above is of the edging as I started it. It’s a simple one-shuttle pattern from Rebecca Jones’ book: The Complete Book of Tatting.
I put little one-ring flowers on the cards to my aunts, great-aunts & niece. I put a butterfly with beads on the tail on the card to my namesake. The first 8 cards all had these pink flowers that the one-ring flowers fitted over very nicely (an accent on the larger flower), except the two last one got a white/silver flower off to the side instead. My namesake’s card had a large red poppy, so I glued a butterfly to one side. I used post-it style glue so they’ll come off.
