Needlelace Star Sampler Workshop

February & March 2012

 

Needle Lace Sunflower

I've picked up this project a few times.

Have made some practice pieces.

Started out with size 20 fibers 

& really didn't care for the outcome.

Picked out some size 40 fibers and

giving it another go.

 Practice pieces.

 Started with the sunflower center. 

So not perfect; however, I like the way it spirals.   

Lizbeth size 40 - Col. 697.

Now on to the petals.
