Are guinea fowl Christmassy?
Absolutely not! I love your idea. The problem with commercialized Christmas is that it becomes regimented, as if every holiday celebration has to be a certain color or a certain theme. While I will b…

All your tatting pieces are truly beautiful. Hugs Judy
Fascinating chain work.
These bracelets are amazing! Lots of movement and delicious colors.
I am fascinated with this Milan needlework. It appears to be worked with needlelace stitches, possibly in a mezzopunto technique (pre-made tapes combined with hand made stitches). Do you consider these two pieces to be embroidery or needle lace?
What a great composition! I love the theme.
Well, a calico as beautiful as herself can sit where she wants to.... Fine needlework is a lovely background for such a gorgeous pussycat
Love the colors!
I LOVE how you think outside the box and let the creativity just flow out of you.
Stunningly beautiful!
Terrific! And the label is charming
You beguile me back to Torchon. After a short intro to Torchon, I gave it up because I didn't know how to make a decent finish. Having learned to do so, I am inspired by your piece which I find has a very interesting design and excellent execution.
I love to see traditional techniques with a twist. You can be proud of your framing job, it looks very professionally done. The mat is exactly the same color same the thread. Bravo!

Forgive me I have only just now found this comment on my page.
I would love to try bobbin lace! Yours is just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am afraid to get involved in any other interests that require I buy more suppiles. I am a metalsmith and have been for most of my life. Talk about tools and supplies! I am also interested in making 1:12 scale miniatures and doll houses for adult collectors. PHEW I can't think about any more than that. LOL I will for now stand off and admire all of your beautiful lace. ;)

The photo of the fans is actually my instructors pieces. I had them professionally done for her. My Drooping Cherry fan is on its way to Japan to made into a fan and my Double Cherry Fan is on the frame in progress. They are so way cool I wanted to share them for all to see cause they are so unique. I am having Midori come teach them in February 2011 at my new seminar I am creating... check my web page for details

Thank you!
I have looked at all the beautiful photos of your work. Your lace is gorgeous! I would love to learn to how to make lace. All those bobbins and pins. How do you know which one to use next. OMG! LOL

- Thanks Patty!!!
I wish they photographed better. I have tried several times but the camera just cannot capture the vibrant color and magic of the metallic threads.
WOW a software engineer, I'm impressed!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had been born with computer genes or at least... had a 12 year old around to help me with this thing. LOL

- Patty, I so agree about wishing there were fun words on the selvages. I've never been fond of promoting advertising on clothing; for example, a sweatshirt with the brand name in big letters! Nevertheless, I've found myself making little things with selvages, maybe because it is requires no decisions about color, etc.
Your lace and other thread work is amazing to view; I've let the slide show of photos stream past me twice already. Who would not be drawn to the iris you created? Thank you for sharing your work with us.

Sandy Vass said… - Hello Patty
Thankyou for your comments on my goldwork photos.
The Or Nue is worked by laying the gold thread on the surface of the fabric and using coloured threads to couch (overcast stitch) gold in place. By varing how close the coloured stitches are placed, it creates areas of very dense colour (in the case of the pink petals or more open areas such as the leaves. In the areas that are not coloured I have used a fine gold thread thread to hold the heavier gold thead in place.

Thank you for your comments.
Yubinuki (thimble) makig s popular in Japan now and it is possible to get instructions and book ,but they are in Japanese!.As you already know temari making,it is similar things.
You could try web site,www.temarikai.com;look for "thingsjapanese" on the top tool bar;then choose "yubinuki"where they are simple instructions in English.
Hope that helps;if not get back to me. Michko

Averyclaire said… - Thanks for your comment on my biscornu. Just have viewed your tatting work and it is LOVELY!! I have never tried this...although it's on my list of things to do "when I am retired." Right now I work full-time. Not enough hours in the day.
Amities, Averyclaire

Thank you for your kind words about my bobbin lace. I think your wild and crazy tatting is just marvelous. Don't stop. Do some more.

- Hi Patty... of all the string crafts I've tried, I have yet to try bobbin lace and tatting. That would indeed be an adventure. I attended a quilt show in SC convention ctr back in October. It was so amazing.

Karen W. Gronau said… - Chicken Scratch is also known as snowflaking, gingham embroidery and Amish embroidery. It is usually worked on a gingham check in order to have a lacy look. It was traditionally done on aprons. If you go to the photos page and type in chicken scratch into the search word box at the top, you will see a lot of examples of it. You may be right about the threads getting caught if the pattern is put onto a purse. Darn, I thought it was a good idea.

Your work is so delicate; it must take a steady eye and hand.
I'm glad you liked my selvage pincushions. I've always saved the tiniest of scraps, but I laugh about saving selvages. You might enjoy the selvage projects at selvage.blogspot.blog--the author has photos of many unbelievable items made with selvages, and she has written a book on the subject. Kathleen C.

It is a Japanese- style thimble shaped like a ring(Yubinuki).
