Thread Crochet Centerpiece - Making It Bigger - A Work-In-Progress

Ruth Sandra Sperling
RSS Designs In Fiber - My Handmade Designs on ARTFIRE and ETSY

A "Work-In-Progress", yes -- but I took a simple round Doily and am adding Rounds and Rounds to make it Bigger -- and a bit more Graphic and I think a little more dramatic -- and Better for a Centerpiece!!

Done with Garnet Red, Christmas Green and Pure White, it is designed with the Winter Holidays in mind -- a popular color theme that I have Sold quite a bit in.

The Rounds I am adding include a Ring of 32 Red Flowers - and Graphic Rounds in White and Green (with a little more Red) to show off the Flowers.

The photos above and below were taken when I was working on the Ring of 32 Flowers  (which actually involved 3 Rounds).

It is made in very fine DMC Pearl Cotton size 12 -- there is a lot of detail and I like using the very fine thread, as it shows off the graphic design so well!

Not sure how big it will end up -- but I think between 14 and 20 inches in diameter, which will be a good size for a Centerpiece on a Holiday table -- or just any table for entertaining!!

Below is a closeup - more closely showing the inner Ring of 16 Red Flowers - and the outer Ring, which will be of 32 Red Flowers.

Working on it now -- to get it up Online -- early for the Winter Holiday season, which is after all, the most popular time of the year for Red & Green!!

3D Burgundy Roses on Pink Coaster and Napkin Ring Set

Well, I mentioned this project as a Work-In-Progress in a blog post earlier this month -- and now it is finished and in my Etsy Shop !!

~~ Romantic, Shabby Chic, French Country ~~

It was an idea that I came up with as part of doing Decor - mostly Home Decor - in Crochet and Knitting -- and I specialize in all kinds of Crocheted Flowers, though 3D Flowers are probably my most popular.

So I started my FLOWER DECOR SERIES here on my blog --

-- and I have my Blog Page of DESIGNS with FLOWERS (also linked above).

So, if you like CROCHETED FLOWERS in FIBER ART DESIGNS, what I do is fairly visible on my blog!!

Also, as part of this FLOWER DECOR SERIES, here are a couple of the new, smaller FLOWER DOILIES that I have made available in my Online Shops.

Pink with 3D Burgundy Roses - Flower Decor Series - Work-In-Progress

Ruth Sandra Sperling
RSS Designs In Fiber - My Handmade Designs on ARTFIRE and ETSY


As part of doing my FLOWER DECOR SERIES, I decided to do a variety of Small Flower Doilies or Coasters with matching Napkin Rings.

I started with a "Pink with 3D Burgundy Roses" theme!

This is still a "Work-In-Progress", so this only shows part of what the Set will be.

The "Pink" will be Shell Stitch done in Baby Pink Crochet Thread for all the pieces.

The "3D Burgundy Roses" will be Multi-layer Crocheted Roses in a Burgundy Red Pearl Cotton Thread - with a Pinkish Center.

This Set will be 2 Coasters or Trinket Doilies as pictured in the top photo above -- with 2 Napkin Rings, as in the bottom picture, but with the 3D Burgundy Rose attached to it.  I am still working on the second Napkin Ring.

I thought a Set of 2 each would be nice for this -- Roses reflect a Romantic theme -- and so this will be a Romantic Set for a Dinner for Two!!

Watch for this to show up in one of my Online Shops - either Artfire or Etsy !!
