I have a lovely little pile of needle lace in my treasure box. In fact still two bundles - I sewed already two small curtains - sheer ones for a front door where I scattered the squares on the fabric. I found these treasures for very little money in France, in an antique shop. My heart jumped when I saw them.
This was at least ten years ago.
I counted them: 47 pieces in one bundle, what an odd number, and one on top, makes 48 - maybe it went for the dozen, 4 dozens.
With the Half Cretan Stitch for Tast2012, week 19, I couched one of these squares onto fabric with a space dyed (not by me) thread - and --------------
.... I did not like it too much.
So for this week I made an another sample, the second one with this stitch

Now, if somebody can tell me: Is the little square needle lace or is it tatted?
I would love to know it.....
