Well, although I agree with Diane, and would love to tat the border in the HDT, I tried it and it is just to heavy. There probably would not have been enough of it to complete the edge in this pattern that i liked for the variegated pattern.
The pattern is simple: Baby Lace by Mary Konior.
I say simple, because I think it probably is, but it took me the regular few hours to go through the left/right dilemma I grapple with! I'm comfortable with the pattern now after couple of hours and a lot of false starts. I like the simplicity of this with the peach cloth. Delicate.
Anon,
This will be SO pretty, Fox! The edging is simple, delicate and appropriately named for Mini-Boss.
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated by the monograms on these handkerchiefs! They remind me of shadow work embroidery where you basically work a satin stitch on the underside of thin fabric so the color shows through. Are the monograms appliqued on? I think they are BEAUTIFUL!
So are you left-handed? Does that mean you have to translate patterns in your head to be like a mirror image?
I'm full of questions tonight, aren't I?
:) Ann
I think the ecru is a perfect choice for the hankie!! This is a very pretty little edging too!!
ReplyDeleteThat will look so pretty when it is done. It looks like a winning combination!
ReplyDeleteYou've made a fabulous choice of materials, so the end product will be a stunner!
ReplyDeleteI also go through the left/right dilemma regularly so take heart. You do not go through that frustration alone.
If you can tell us, I would also be quite interested in knowing more about the monogram applique.
Hi Ann,
ReplyDeleteYes, these are appliques, sewn on. Nice;y done, as well, with even small stitches.
The l/r thing is really dyslexia, discovered very late when I was a mature student, so I now have a few coping strategies, now that I know what it is. Spatial perception can be a nightmare!
I WAS left-handed originally and forced to change. So I am ambidextrous to a point!
Thanks Carol and Chiclet! I think it will be pretty! I am enjoying the simplicity of this pattern and the #50 thread as well!
Isdihara, So you are one of the l/r-challenged as well! I'm sure there are quite a few of us out there in Tat-land!
