More Thread Crochet!

So I've been trying to expand my repertoire. Now including thread crochet Christmas ornaments!  These sell for about $5 each.

Also, I worked out a way of doing filet monogrammed doilies.

This was for a wedding present, and I've already received two orders for Christmas.

Filet Crochet

Filet Crochet is the art of using thread crochet to create a mesh with some cells filled to create a design.

So far, I've used it to make monogrammed coasters:

And a table runner:

Here are three detail shots:

The runner was stretched on a cork bulletin board with a hundred or so push-pins, one in every picot.

Thread Crochet Tablecloth

As I mentioned on the Mario post, a friend of mine recently got married. While he received my first Tunisan work, I also wanted to make a spectacular wedding present for his wife. I searched out antique thread crochet patterns to find something that would look amazing but would be relatively simple for my first foray into thread. Sadly, the angelfire blog that was hosting this and many other patterns is now defunct.

It measures up to 6' across. (Cat not included)
