Nanduti Medallion Class

 It is a start of the Nanduti Medallion Class.  Instructor Dawn Loving. We have several sessions to learn the patterns for each segment.   Virtual Education thru The Lace Museum.

I'm using Anchor Pearl cotton 12, Col. 1011 & DMC coton perle 12, Col. 3823.

Before the next class I will try to have two circles filled in. [Torre (tower) and Vaka Pysape (cow hoof) patterns].

It is exciting to learn new patterns in the circles and rings.  Should be an exceptional project once completed.

happy spring ....

 

I (heart) mail - over a couple weeks I've enjoyed reading:

 I think this is my fav issue of the Bulletin OIDFA.   Turkish Needlelace article & 'how-to" -- New Zealand Rangirua Exhibition - Teneriffe -- and MORE.

  EGA Virtual Education.   What an exceptional kit for a 2-day workshop.   (zoom).

  Piecework magazine.  

• Unforgotten Revolutionary Lacemakers of Ipswich by Mary E. Mangan, Gail MacLean, Karen H. Thompson, Jill Hawkins, Rosalie Bares, Carolyn Wetzel, and The New England Lace Group

Following the IOLI Lecture o Saba Lace .... I was intrigued!!!   The patterns and information are excellent.... some remind me of Nanduti.    Book available thru IOLI library - the lecture/video is available via zoom thru the IOLI webpage.    Excellent presentation IMO.
