And here is the answer to my question about the pattern!
This one I know where the pattern came from. it is on my to-do-list, too.
Very interesting pattern. I don't recognize it. Whose is it? Really nice work!
Patty -- Cool. Where is the pattern from? I don't think I have ever seen square Belgian bobbins before (just the modern ones - either plain or with fancy turning). These are really different.
Lovely
Beautiful.
Very very interesting.
Hi
I just finished a Flanders bobbin lace piece that I started quite some time ago. See it at

Profile Information
- What aspect of textiles are you interested in?
- I design and make embroideries. My favorites are pulled thread work and Hardanger embroidery. I am in the process of writing lesson materials which I intend to put on my website, now under construction. I started a little pulled thread work 30 years ago, but have been doing more of it the last 4 years.
- Where did you learn your textle skills?
- I've learned everything from books. Occasionally I find patterns on the internet. I learned basic surface embroidery from Jacqueline Enthoven's book. For pulled thread I like Moira McNeill & Fangel Winckler. For Hardanger I've used the new Anchor book publ 2005 , Sigrid Bright (Dover reprint), Gina Marion and a few leaflets I found in craft shops.
- Anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group??
- I am also an avid bobbin lace maker, designer and teacher. Please visit my new website.

New Website
Today I published my new website: http://www.lynxlace.com
It has 900+ photos: bobbin lace old and new, needle lace antique and by living lace makers designers, filet lacis, tenerife. I have also added more installments to my pulled thread tutorial. Parts are still under construction. : ) / \ / \ (That's me doing my happy dance.)

Pulled Thread Bookmark 2
BOOKMARK 2
To work this bookmark you will need another part which is in the stitchinfingers site: photo 2 in my album "Pulled Thread Bookmarks". The jpg file below is the pattern. Some common stitches like chain stitch and buttonhole stitch are not described because diagrams are readily found in books and other internet locations.

PulledThread Bookmark 1
To work this bookmark you will need several parts which are all in the stitchinfingers site: photo 1 in my album "Pulled Thread Bookmarks", my blog posts (on my profile page) Pulled thread tutorials 1, 2, 5. The jpg file below is the pattern. It should be possible to print the relevant parts. Some common stitches like chain stitch and buttonhole stitch are not described because diagrams are readily found in books and other internet locations.

Pulled Thread Beginner's Piece #2
Pulled Thread Beginner's piece #2 uses stitches which appear in rows 2 and 4 of the yellow sampler: ringed back stitch and 4 sided stitch. However in this piece the 4 sided stitch is worked over 3 threads instead of 4, but you can still use the diagram for row 2 of the yellow sampler. The ringed back stitch will use the same stitch diagram as in the yellow sampler.
One difference in this piece is that since all the stitches are worked over 3 threads (an uneven number) the exact center of the pi… Continue

Pulled Thread for Beginners Piece #1
This little square piece uses only the easiest pulled thread stitches and is quick to make. I used linen which is about 21 threads per inch, and DMC Cebelia #30 for the stitching. The finished piece is 4 7/8" x 5 1/8". It was supposed to be square--the myth of evenweave.
In the diagram below each square on the graph paper represents 2 threads by 2 threads.
The red stitches are wave stitch.
The yellow-orange stitches are 4 sided stitch worked over 4 threads.
The purple stitches are 3 pulled sat… Continue

Anne Gailhbaud said… - Lorelei, I have avoided very long years long and short stitches, because, it's difficult. I think like you, I don't do so well, BUT working, I progress a little.......When I read some book where I can see it, it 's wonderful: a real thread painting! Well, on the evening, after one day of working outside, it's resting.............

- such pretty and detailed work. I tried Hardanger once and gave up as the counting threads proved too much for my number dyslexic brain. One of the reasons I like to design my own work and improvise as I go along. Then it doesn't matter if I make a bloops I can always work around it. Admire your ability and the lovely pieces you've made.

- Hello there, Lorelei! Thank you for the compliments. About the pears; i did get the technique from a book called An Encyclopedia of Ribbon Embroidery Fruits, Vegetables, and Herbs by Deanna Hall West. I got it about ten years ago, but i think it's still in print. if not, alibris.com might have it. i really have a lot of fun with this book. i hope you can find it. Let me know.

Ooooh than I have accomplished my purpose. I thought this would make a nice flap for a jewelry pouch. The message being... Keep your paws off my jewelry or one of my little fiends may bite or sting you. LOL

- Hello Lorelei, Thanks for the nice comment on my CQ Christmas Cracker. Much appreciated. Pull thread work has always interested me and I am tempted to buy a book I recently saw in the Stitch Mag. So maybe oneday you will see some pulled thread work from me. VBG Hugs Judy

- Thanks for the info. I am going to learn to do (some form of!) lace to add to my embroidery wall hangings, so i will definitely check out your link. i have a big firm pillow that i'm going to start with as a pincushion. i have a wall hanging that needs something more at the bottom so i think i will try lace and stumpwork and my usual embroidery.
