Centerpiece with tatted edging

I’d tatted this edging sometime back but totally forgot about it. When this one fell on my lap while cleaning my space I felt really bad L.May be I should keep a record of all my UFO’s…

                                                    

I had a cotton fabric piece in my stash which suited the size of this edging. 

                                       

                                          

I crocheted one row of chain and clusters on top of the tatted edging, blocked and hand stitched it to the fabric.The pattern is from an old J&P Coats tatting book.

I love runners /centerpieces with tatted/crocheted edgings J and am happy that another UFO is finished.

Happy stitching!

WIP saree...

Hi !

I’d like to share images of my WIP maybe I should say WISP saree with y’all.

                                                  

I've finished the border of the saree and blouse (approximately 10 mts length) and started motifs only recently. To embroider a saree is really difficult sometimes because of the repetition of the pattern with same colour scheme.

                                        

                                         

It’s a silk saree and the embroidery is with silk threads. Lots more to stitch, so I guess I need some encouraging words right now to complete this saree J.

Have a happy weekend where ever you are!

Happy stitching!

Oval doily

Hi !

I am trying to complete as many UFO’s as possible before this year end...

Here is another crochet doily which is yet to be blocked as usual. 

                                     

A reader had asked me why I’m not blocking my doilies as soon as I finish it. The reason is I don’t have enough furniture to display all my doilies, so I block a doily only before I display it.

                                         

I enjoyed crocheting this simple pattern especially the trellis ….

Happy stitching!

Anita.
