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.
