Jan Stawasz Doily III
My first completed Jan Stawasz pattern, Doily III from Tatting Theory and Patterns.
I used up almost one ball of the grey variegated and about three-quarter of a ball of the solid blue.
I had started on another doily before this one but looks like I may have to start over on that one because it is not quite turning out how I would have liked.
Seen together in the photo are three of my treasured shuttles, a red clover, a milward and an engraved Hinton shuttle.
On another note, it was an eventful weekend for me. I attended my class reunion celebrating 40 years since we were in school together. I attended an all-girls boarding school and 106 girls (ladies now) attended from six classes. Here are the girls of my class, each successful in their own way. Certainly brought back a lot of memories.

It looks amazing, Jon! Lovely. What size thread ?
ReplyDeleteFox : )
Thank you Fox, They are Olympus thread gold label #40, but the actual size is more like a 30.
DeleteBeautiful doily, I like the way you used the two colours.

The doily came out well, and those shuttles look great on it :-) My, how time flies when you're having fun! It sure looks like you were all having fun at the reunion, anyway.
ReplyDeleteWe did. It was a dinner function that was supposed to officially end at 11.30pm but went on until 12.30am.
DeleteThis is a lovely version of the doily! Reunions are fun, next year my class will celebrate the 50th - you all look so colourful, is the red/pink significant?
ReplyDeleteMaureen, Ruby was theme of the reunion and everyone was required to have something red on them.
DeleteAre you involve in the planning and organising for the reunion? I was for mine and it was hard work, but the look on their faces on the night was worth it.
Your choice of colors enhances the uniqueness of this pattern. Congratulations, ladies in red!
ReplyDeleteThe doily is nice - I don't know if you heard Mr Stawasz has passed away almost a year ago?
ReplyDeleteBut this photo of yours is fantastic!
Fantastic work! We didn't often see squared doilies and I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteLook at all the pink and red! you ladies look amazing!
