What was supposed to be one post now has to be done in two parts because blogger has a new rule - only 20 tags allowed. Earlier the limit was 200 letters. All I can ask is that you bear with me and return to see the beauties in the next post as well.
Back in April 2022, it was my intention to share a mix of Endrucksian models from our members, showcasing the different effects, applications, adaptations, etc. as inspiration. Along the way there was so much to share from our games, and the burst of pattern PDFs that this fell by the wayside. Now I am trying to revive it whenever possible ....
E28 & E39 combo adaptation :
This is the E28 Gift Box with E39 Rose by Daniela Galli (March2022)
Daniela said -
I try number 28 but I pull, I tighten the bows (chains) too much and the result is a little hat... I decide not to throw it away, this is the result .. I made a mini boxAlthough I cannot be certain, I think instead of 8 repeats she made only 5 (or is it 6?) repeats around; which is why there was so much cupping, LOL.
She repeated the cupped doily for the base and lid getting a nice box.
The box showing a partially open lid.
E42 application :
Debbie L Fister (May2025) extracted a motif from the E5 edging and adapted it for bookmarks, adding long tails. This is what she said -
pattern E42 Roses by Daniela Galli:
Roberta Porati (June2025) tatted up some of the E42 roses along with some foliage-type fillers to decorate a comb! One can see blocks, rings, chains, and even some Cluny tallies interspersed around the roses. Although at the time this is what she said -
I'm undecided whether to stick it on the comb or on 1 headband,....E5 adaptation :
The first 2 tatted as written version 1. # 3 tatted beginning at top & made in 1 pass. I think version 2 would have been the better choice. I never got the hang of tatting an anticlockwise ring.
E12 application :
pattern E12 Bat by Krystyna Mura:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E26K3FFgHygdkEKUvVHn-f0MFlENDsqA/view
Cynthia Dooley (Oct2025), a needle tatter, worked up this flock of bats to brighten up a T-shirt! And she chirps -
Daddy bat, Mommy bat, Baby bat on flight for Halloween. Sewn on to T-shirt. ... What fun.
- These are but a teeny tiny sample of the works done by our members. To reiterate, all patterns are derived from Eleonore Endrucks' 1920 book, Die Schiffchen-Spitzen which contained only 44 patterns!

- And remember to check out the 16 Directories for plenty more derivative patterns and models. Links listed in the EP Links doc here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w1TZBg-HIzseGEUoJ-rko7tNbtSgZY5A18Oy2Y9Hh0Y/view
- Please use the tag #Endrucks1920Project when you post and state the name of the designer and the pattern clearly.
Ideas spark when tatters come together to inspire with their tatted realisations! Ninetta joins me in thanking all of you and look forward to many more ...
