"I did learn to make Cluny leaves once, long ago, but have since forgotten. There is a string game called "cat's cradle". My impression is that Cluny leaves are like cat's cradle on steroids."

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY

I am resolving to finish 2 projects I have set up. One is a Binche learning piece, which is quite difficult for me. I am intimidated by it. The 2nd is a floral Bucks which I intend to decorate a purse. (Enlarged and worked in thick thread so it will hold up to use) This one also intimidates me. I have been using my cat as an excuse, but he has calmed down. I keep on thinking of simple projects that won't take a lot of…

At 8:30pm on January 16, 2019, Jaci Siehl said…: Thanks for the warm welcome, Lorelei. So glad I stumbled upon this site. I've been thread crocheting for over 50 years. I love all forms of lace and have dabbled in many other forms; but I am always interested in learning more. I lost all of my tools and the pieces I made over the past 50 years in the recent Camp Fire and looking forward to jumping in again. Seems like a great site with lots of people, ideas, and support.
