Needle Lace with Loretta - 3rd class for the Halas Lace Medallion

 Class III.   I started 3 more stitches on the sampler -- and will complete them before next week.   (our last class).  There are 2 patterns -- a Lace Medallion and a butterfly.

The lost is found ...

Finished 3rd rectangle.   Had such a mess on the table -- couldn't find "this or that" -- spent a few hours putting things away.   Did locate a couple projects I'd been wanting to add to, start, or finish before deadline.

After getting the pattern attached to foam,

adding pins, etc., I'm ready to start wrapping & weaving fibers.

I'm planning to use ECRU DMC No. 70 Cordonnet Special.

Two samplers .... Gros Point + Halas Style

 Yes, still on the Gros Point (left) and started the Halas (right) sampler.   I'm using DMC size 80 for both of the samplers.  Two different classes - two different needlelace styles.   I have some homework on the Halas before the next class (Tuesday).   Couching the design & finishing up the first two rectangles on the sampler.

  Green:  DMC #80, Color 954.  Next - padding the outlines.

I like doing one class at a time; however, with vacation time, need to depend on the The recorded classes.  The videos are available for a few weeks following the class.   I'm appreciative of that!!   Next up on the Gros Point sampler:  the outline and video 4 of decorative elements, "Couronnes." and fancy edges.  Fun ness.

Also looking forward to the Day and Night Lace Marathon.  Sessions include tatting, needlelace, bobbin lace, carrickmacross, a little bit of everything!!
