Most of the needlelace patterns come from
by Thérèse de Dillmont, the illustrations are
often unsharp and of really bad quality, but
in spite of these failings, this book is a treasury
of information.
For more details look here.
( don't forget to switch on winterhour!)
You have my big compliment, this requires lot of patience. I looked at the link, I like how M and V took care of what is going to be in their shop. If I ever pass it by I will definitely go in.
ReplyDeleteuiuiuiuiui, what a treasure! i especially admire the laceneedlework parts ( and of these the little square "windows" with the multicoloured dots in the middle) you are incredible!
ReplyDeletemakes me dream about dark winter-afternoons, drinking tea and doing delicate needlework together, i would love to see how you make it and maybe even learn!
ah, can't wait to have time to try myself again.
best wishes, A.
Some of them looks like windows, very beautiful togheter like this. Whish I had the ability and patience.
ReplyDeleteI could look at this all day long!
ReplyDeleteAmazing,Renilde.
a treasure indeed - your sampler is so beautiful - I would never tire of looking at it!
ReplyDeleteOh Renilde, this is just the most exquisite thing I've ever seen. It is absolutely a treasury of your talent and skill. I have to join the chorus - I could look at it all day too :) K
ReplyDeletealtijd goed om die nog eens te zien! heel ik was gisteren in het maagdenhuis ;)
ReplyDeleteOooh en waaaw, zo prachtig. Heb echt niet het gevoel dat het 'even uitproberen' was. Prachtig om zien. Zou bijna met de vingers over het borduurwerk willen aaien. (Heb ik van mijn oma, sorry).
ReplyDeleteooit, ooit als ik alle tijd van de wereld kreeg zou ik naald en draad weer oppakken en bij jou voor inspiratie zoeken. ( doe ik nu dan met een soort verlangen naar tijd )
ReplyDeletema jong, jij bent echt gek! zo mooi! Leer je die dingen en structuren helemaal op jezelf of heb je ooit een opleiding gevolgd? x
ReplyDeleteaan Trui: ik heb in school op mijn zesde leren breien en naaien, maar die merklap is puur hobby. ik heb lang gewacht met die lap te tonen omdat ik niet wilde overkomen als een freak:-), maar het moest er toch eens van komen. Enfin, ik ben heel geinteresseerd in alle soorten naaldkant, en de meeste oefeningen komen uit die thérèse de dilmont boek.
ReplyDeletei think you are so clever for doing this!
ReplyDeletei'm completely struck by your talent and skils, most admirable! i wish one day i will be able to get my hands on one of your works, i really do ;)
So lovely. And so much patience! Inspiration for me.

ReplyDeletewow! stunning. i think i'll have to try out some needle-ing.
ReplyDeleteThis is inspiring - just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL x
ReplyDeleteThis is unbelievably beautiful! Perhaps I will try to learn to stitch like this one day. I will need to learn a bit more patience first! x
ReplyDeletei love what you do and admire your skills.
ReplyDeletevery much.
my mother was very good in that too.
i inherited all her materials and supplies.
not her skills.
but i did it in my way.
one exhibition, hundreds and hundreds of cross-stitches. just with one color at the time.
kind of meditation.
or, in this case, prayers.
Thank you for sharing, I really admire your work, very inspirational you got me into needlework! I just love it. You should write a book of patterns or something. Love your blog
