Does this look even to you? Is it centered?

I am using Col. 959, No. 8, DMC Coton Perle.


After making teneriffe lace, and creating buttons, with circles/templates, it was quite a challenge to just sew the perle coton to the fabric without 'marking' the center, 'marking' the spokes - to make it even.   And the center!!!  is it in the center!!!


I understand the accomplished Nanduti lacemakers just make the spokes - kind of eye where it should be.   Probably took me twice as long - I'm so used to measuring and marking ....  

I think I have the 4 areas ready to darn/weave into flower petals.  And adding fiber with the lace knot - well, I'd done that before - now to weave over the knot so it doesn't show ....  guess I'm ready to create some petals -- yellow or pink?

 Nanduti class - thru The Lace Museum, Virtual Education.  Dawn Lovig is the instructor.
