My sampler.








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!)

  1. 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.

  2. uiuiuiuiui, 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!
    makes 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.

  8. Oooh 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).

  9. ooit, 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 )

  10. ma jong, jij bent echt gek! zo mooi! Leer je die dingen en structuren helemaal op jezelf of heb je ooit een opleiding gevolgd? x

  11. aan 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.

  23. i love what you do and admire your skills.
    very 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.
