Rachael's Mystery Doily...

There is thread over at In Tatters about this doily pattern.  Rachael had kept a picture of it but there is no reference to where it's from.  Does anyone recognise it?

Wolfgang (also an In Tatters member) kindly wrote up a pattern for it and here is a fragment which I started.  It's a great pattern, done in one pass but with a good width so you could work up a doily quite quickly.  As always, we want to credit the author but he/she needs to be found!

Motif no. 21
Tatted in DMC Babylo size 10

Here is the picture of the pattern:



So can anyone out there can help us solve the mystery?.... 

Oh, and I've learned something new:  a different method to start on a chain which I like better than the paperclip method.  I will ask the author if I can share here and hopefully be able to show you soon.

Best wishes,

  4. Oh my !! (blush blush) what lovely comments about my edging. This edging I designed while poll sitting one election up in Alaska. Doretha Albee was visiting me at the time so I called it "Doretha's Teardrop Edging." The pattern is found on page 53 of "Tatting on the Edge...and Beyond" which is Book 4 of my Ribbonwinners series. The book is still in print.

    This is actually a variation of the corner found on pg. 24 (ibid). I used this design to teach an easy method to turn a 90 degree corner in an edging. Four corners make a block. Adding the 4 split rings created the tear drop look.

    I am so glad you all like it. Thanks

  5. OH! BTW, Karen Beary Parent has posted a model of my doily pattern done in Sherry Pence's HDT Witch's Brew which is really beautiful and colorful.
