I've been writing most of the day and have no words left. Instead I'll leave you with my latest creation, done between bouts of writing. Actually I started this several weeks ago, stitching down the bodice and the lace for the skirt, but didn't know what to do next. So I did what I usually do in these cases and let it be. Eventually it would tell me how to proceed. It did so today!

ReplyDeleteThe lace part looks like Irish crochet. I have a coupe of items that my mom made some years ago, and now even she herself can't remember all the stitches.

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, it looks like a Venetian lace tablecloth that I've had for years......hmmmm. What a wonderful way to use the fabric.
