Orchid Pattern….and more!

Orchid Pattern….and more!

 

I love orchids… so there was no other way around as creating Romanian Point Lace pattern out of it. There is no particular, orchid that I love more, I find them all insanely gorgeous.

So I made a few orchid designs, that not only look great on its own but fantastic as a group. You can create a fabulous unique Point lace doily out of it and so much more!

Since the baby is born, I had no extra time to devote to the orchids and create a full doily out of it, but I am sure you can with the help of these patterns! 

There is a red one, a blue and a dusty pink that has an actual doily pattern to it! I am sure you will love it!

You can find them all in the shop section HERE  Happy Shopping! Enjoy!

I enjoyed creating them all, but I can’t make up my mind, which one is my favorite! What orchid is your favorite and why?

Lace making is such an intensive , consummating craft that you need to choose quality.

Quality starts with the design, I am talking about Romanian Point Lace in this case and the thread you are using.

In this post I want to introduce to you a very high quality thread. I like to call it the DMC Thread of the Eastern Europe! LOL

This thread is divine to work with. It;s perfect for fine crochet and of course lace making. These days it comes in all colours but the traditional colours are still the best to work with. Ecru and Cappuccino.

The thread is called ROMANOFIR and is Made in Romania.

 

Thank you for watching and SUBSCRIBE!

You can order the thread online ROMANOFIR or from different yarn and thread stores online in RO. Most of them speak English.

Once you work with this thread, you will want no other.
