patterns galore

 In one of my recent posts I mentioned how we are curating patterns, models, ideas derived directly or secondarily from Eleonore Endrucks' ‘Die Schiffchen-Spitszen’, 1920, and collecting them in categorised Directories. The format is similar to the EP doc with pics of the model and link/details to the pattern. So far we have released 7 directories listed below (click on the blue text).

1. Hearts - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MpYw9XMB8Asz8zusj1ZpHvX8A8Ww424-rEVORtxcL1w/view

2. Butterflies - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fKXsc8OyQ8Z2qAuzLeS_jR9CGJKsmSn_KsFnD5U71tM/view

3. Flowers - https://docs.google.com/document/d/10tmXv6I3ybB8dv69SV7V3OjlhcEMbNE4N-NSaqjLt4g/view

4. Foliage - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EIgPKHH9V2Dg4gDZNefVfSVNRZQC6LbSfhiaWA_s-G8/view

just 'coz every post needs a pic!

The top 4 directories include patterns we chose for the #pickmeEndrucks Feb2023 event - the roundups of which you enjoyed in my last 3 posts. These include hearts, flowers, foliage, and butterflies including some 3D patterns. Above is the collage used as cover pic in our FB group that month.

And Judith Connors shared the Eye Spy Heart pattern (with slight tweak) derived from Endrucks' pattern #3  in 'Talking Tatting', Feb2023. She very graciously shared the pdf with us.

5. Baskets -https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v2hfFk2Nhg3ZpqUSW9vRCV_0AmQYp4qOx7gs3uJEr-g/view            This directory consists of patterns/models/ideas for baskets, boxes, bowls, including egg decorations, which we shared for our #gitftmeEndrucks Mar2023 event. 

6. Coasters & doilies (round) -https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xc1hiwrg5yPEvi77jj2uxWqlkECuyZjFjuCJ08VcoLA/view

7. Bookmarks and Insertions -https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dtWGgZZEGBBwLDpJgRChAEo91l4uuXq-fxRNzKDc6r8/view

At present we have two more directories close to finishing, and one completed directory that will be released for our May event!

Creating these directories is helping us keep track of the derivatives from each original pattern. Otherwise the increasing volume of new derivatives/adaptations was making it difficult to get a bird's eye view of what our Endrucks 1920 Project has brought forth. It is also easier to update each directory with new derivatives.

Earlier we were including these in the main Endrucks 1920 Project document (EP doc) - the size kept increasing yet not everything could be included. Hence this solution. Eventually we will keep only the main patterns in the EP doc and move all derivatives to their respective directory. There will be no need for the Gallery of Possibilities there either.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to all the wonderful tatters who continue to make the Project grow beyond expectations!  - Ninetta & Muskaan
