I have made the arcing 'rose' pattern, the one done in all half-stitch. I did it in gold colored wire, but I think a gold cord would work also. I mounted it on a wire stem with a gold leaf and presented it in a bud vase.
I am sorry I don't know where the pricking originated but I am sure some one on the list does. It is an arch with scallops all along the arch (so it is the same width through out), uses a WS on each edge (for stability) and the center is half stitch. It makes up very quickly, and when rolled into a flower and mounted looks TERRIFIC. Lorri - if you think there is enough time I would be glad to send the pricking. Does anyone have any ideas for a 50th Wedding Anniversary lacey present for some very good friends of ours. I only have until the first week in February to finishing it, but I do work better under pressure. We have been invited to celebrate with them and family with in invite saying no presents, but I have been trying to think of what I can make. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
