Loretta Holzberger: Needlelace Star Sampler

Beginning Needle Lace Star 

Pattern + Instructions:  Loretta Holzberger c.2022

Started a 2nd Star (sampler).

This one has Cebelia outline fiber (size 30) 

and filling stitches are

DMC Cordonnet Special 40.

I messed up the 3rd point on the first star - and

struggled with the Cebelia.

I watched the video of the third session

Lace Museum, Virtual Education.

It is wonderful to take zoom classes and have the recording of the session to refer back to.

The final filling stitches will be knotted buttonhole (mine look wimpy so far) and the Point de Grain.

 

Ready for the final session ....

 

DMC Cebelia 20 - Star Outline (couched)

 I'm using DMC Cebelia 30 for the filling stitches.

Double Buttonhole Stitch

Triple Buttonhole Stitch

 Pea Stitch

Ready for the final session which

will be Knotted Buttonhole and Point de Grain.

(plus finishing the edges and cutting loose from

the paper)

In response to question, I did hope to put

sunflowers into a shadow box.   They sell them at Michael's (perhaps other places).

Front Opening Shadow Box.

I have sunflowers completed, I have partial sunflowers, and instructions/patterns to launch.   

I want to do the Endruck's sunflower - another link here, finish my beaded lace bobbin with sunflower pattern,  needle lace sunflower, zwirnknopf button set, small grapevine wreath, and (floral) buttons.

I also have some tatted stars and needle lace stars in the works. And a bobbin lace star (design by Karen Thampson) on Alex Stillwell's Wordpress Site.  

I don't know what other artists do with their lace - I usually give most away.   Recently, though, I have had a 'theme' of sunflowers in different patterns that I'd like to arrange (somehow).

Small tatted star.

Created at the L.A.C.E. Chapter meeting, I haven't started the Tatting by the Bay Free Pattern. (snowflake).  I'd also like to try the star (lower corner) from Sumie's book:

Garland of holiday lights

Free Christmas Lights Ornament 

Pattern -- Should be kinda neat with 

a few more tatted lights.

I used Aunt Lydias Crochet Thread 10

  I used what I had on hand to give the pattern a try.
