Several
years ago I got a beautiful gift: a little coffee table made especially for me
from pine. I decided that as wonderful table deserves as charming tablecloth. So
I started to create it.
I decided to
use not white linen but ecru to harmonize with warm colour of the table. The
design of embroidery was inspirited by some pattern from a magazine.
May I
introduce one of my favourite tablecloth which I have made. Here there is The
Amber Tablecloth. The name comes from real amber stones I used to make a lace
around it.

The middle
of this work is some piece of embroidery: a sprig of wild roses with mayweed.

| The central sprig |
Around the
sprig there are five posies of small roses. All embroidered with écru silk. And
it was the easy part of may work. It takes may be two or three hours. Then I
started tatting…

The trim is
a tatting lace made of ecru cotton and sixty little amber stones. It took me so
much time to finish it that I can hardly say how much.

Many times I was close to give up. I was tired, bored and full of
doubts. But fortunately I made it and saying immodestly: I am very proud of
myself.
and so we are proud of you... :) beautiful!
