Description
Northern Expressions Needlework. Antique Lace is a design that has been about two years in the making. The original idea for it came from an antique filet crochet table centrepiece with the basket of roses motif. Later, when researching ideas for the lace bands, I came across the same motif in a collection of designs from antique samplers. Whether the motif originated in cross stitch or crochet I have been unable to find, but I was intrigued at the cross over between the two styles of needlework. The ?lace? bands were designed to mimic different styles of lace, inspired by antique cross stitch designs, crochet designs, and lace trims and edgings
