Dear Sister Claire, I hope they are enjoying doing the simple ring. When I taught that as a workshop I replaced the talley with a similar shape bead for those that did not want to do the leaf talley.
You can find a cross designed by me at the bottom of the Patterns page of the L.A.C.E. guild website. http://www.lacemakersofillinois.org/memarticles.html Another easy pattern.

They are starting on Janice Blair's "Candle in a Ring" to make as ornaments for the Christmas tree in their classrooms. They may need help with the sewing and the tally, but no time like the present to learn, eh? This is after their second lesson. I'm proud of my girls! I'll try to take more pictures with their creations. They've asked me for a cross pattern to make as a present for their teachers, but I don't have one. Does anyone know where I can dowload one? I'll also need to buy a source of Torchon patterns for them, I think. (I've done mostly meters and meters of edgings, but they are more into motifs and mats.) What do you suggest I buy for them?
