Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

{My Lace Crocheted Handkerchief #6}

Showing you here my Lace Crocheted Handkerchief #6, this one also was a Bridal Hankie given to Erika in 2000 for her wedding day. Hers I crocheted in Indonesia, on the patio of our bungalow. Below this post you find links from e.g. Crochet Edging on Antique French Knotted Filet Lace where you actually can see the fine DMC Cordonnet Spécial in a size 80. That's right, I use this very fine thread with a steel crochet hook size 0.75 mm.
This very fine hand crocheted lace is done in about 12 hours.
Labour of LOVE.
Using our gardenia and roses for making it look even more perfect...
Such a bridal hankie I loved to recreate for myself as well.
It is a beautiful Swiss cotton batiste embroidered handkerchief with hemstitched edging. That is the hardest part to count those openings and getting your stitches right for the pattern.
Lace pattern is from a German Neue Mode.
Would you have loved to have such a hand made crocheted lace bridal hankie?

  2. Dearest Mariette,
    That's such a beautiful and delicate piece. I don't think I could get something so nicely done in 12 hours, that implies outstanding talent, and patience.

    Lovely post!

  3. Dear Mariette,

    Exquisite! ... your lace handkerchief is so beautiful and yes, a real labour of love.
    So glad to hear that the weather has settled there where you are, a real worry for so many. Many thanks for visiting me and thanks for sharing the book - will look into that. We also have Michel Thomas, French lessons on tape.

    Have a happy week
    hugs

    1. Dearest Carolyn,
      Thanks for the compliment!
      No it is not a book that I shared with you but a website, like an on-line woman's magazine.
      Hugs to you,
      Mariette

      No problem for using these; I've laundered them several times already. The DMC quality thread will last a long time.
      Hugs to you,

  10. My friend ... this is truly a treasure. Watching my grandmother and mother over the years - I know this takes much patience, long hours ~ but the final product is one that will be treasured for generations to come. Blessings to you both and I hope the storm in no where near you and any of your loved ones. Hugs C. (HHL)
