Hardanger

Today five of us took a class in lacy edge hardanger. It was a good experience and I think went well for almost everyone. It does make a pretty edge around a piece. You can make it as wide as you want and it makes a plain piece fancy.

Through the Garden Gate

Today I stitched part 2 of A. Part 1 was already done. I also stitched Secton C, finished Section G which was already started and messed with center motif a little. Next week - Part D - diagonals which I hate. Tune in next week for a progress report. In ten years this piece might be done.

Carol S., Joyce, Marge and I have decided to spend one day a week when possible concentrating on finishing Through the Garden Gate. We start tomorrow. Watch this space for "progress". We'll try to post pictures now and then.

5 friends

I'm hitting the five friends hard this week. Im trying to get the first two girls done as my week goal. How is everyone else doing??? I'm also planning to start my Ole to Callaway.....we'll see......

Dimensions of Hardanger Piece

The dimensions depend on the size fabric you intend to use. This pattern recommends that you use even-weave fabric, anything from 22 to 32 threads per inch. I did my piece on 25-count fabric, and it came out about 7 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches. They recommend this piece as a bookmark, but I think it would be nice framed, or just cut around it and stiffen it. We will talk about that in class too. The actual thread count of the piece is 184 threads tall by 140 threads wide. Carol

ANG

I got an email yesterday from Deb Overrath(plural member) from Corpus and she said there is a group of stitchers that are forming a ANG chapter there. I will get everyone the info on it since may of you are members at large of the ANG and this is a option. To the best of my knowledge there will be a ANG seminar in 2011 in San Antonio. Trudy

Nice Hardanger!

This is the piece I will be teaching later this year. I hope you like it and will want to sign up.
There are two different lace fillings, and you may choose to do it like this, or choose one or the other. See more about this in the new issue of the TOT Newsletter. Carol

Wow, it looks like we may have a small blog. Get hold of your friends and encourage them to sign up. If necessary, I can resend the invitations. In the meantime, what are you working on now? I need to do the 3 squares for February before I get back to fun stuff.
