The fabric is darker than this-I used the Havana which is more of a nutmeg colour. Now to get it framed!

I just loved this. Stitched up quickly, the silks were wonderful , and love the cute little pumpkin charm. The frame and mat are just perfect for it also.

My latest doily

I started it before the Irish runner so didn't take long to finish it Made with size 30 thread and a 11 hook. From Decorative Crochet #24

Irish Crocheted Table Runner Magic Crochet #59

This is at each end

This was one of the hardest things I have crocheted and I have been crocheting over 40 yrs. I made it for a wonderful friend of mine.The original pattern from Magic Crochet magazine was about half the size so I had to use my brain and double the pattern etc. It is so beautiful I hate to part with it. I used a #10 crochet thread by South Maid with a #7 hook. It is 65 in long and 24" wide

My DMC Floss Case

My wonderful husband had this made for me for my birthday. It is mainly made of solid Rosewood .

It is 100 % wood except for the knobs. No screws,nails, etc.,The man that made it hand crafted every inlay and assembled every piece by hand. It is the most magnificent birthday gift I had ever received. It holds all the DMC floss with ease. It has a gold plate that says: "To Patti Love, Bob" under the lid.

Mary Wigham update

Uploaded a new picture. I figured if I get the perimeter done the rest will go quickly.
