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
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.
