Swasey Reunion Lace

I made this lace doily as a gift for my husband’s Aunt. When the budget is small and the talents need practice, lace is the perfect gift. This one was made with size 30 thread.

Ann’s Tatted Altar Lace: a new work in progress

I modified the pattern for the edge, adding “clones knots” from my Irish heritage. They remind me of baby’s breath, and the gift of life after death.

Altar Cloth: The first 150 squares

After the lace was all done, we washed it in hot water to shrink it, and then pinned it out to dry in the shape we wanted. Once it dries, the thread will hold it’s delicate shape.

My mother knitted a bear for her, as she does for all her grandchildren. Usually they’re in bright colors, but Carolyn’s is in her white temple dress.
