I am pleased in share with you a redrafting of an ancient pattern for a mat, worked by my grandmother. (You can see it oval shaped, here below)
The pattern is composed of a round edge, a circular braid insertion and an interesting center made with guipures, laced in zig zag and sewed to the outer braid, providing an image of a many leaved flower.
The motifs in the edge are spiders and a light fan.
Care should be taken with the pairs crossed and taken across the opposite site in the joinings between fans.
For more detailed instructions, please feel free to e-mail me. |
