Lacy Snowflake Motif

This motif can also be used as a snowflake ornament but it has been designed to be a motif which you could join with many more to create placemats, table runners, large doilies or even a tablecloth. If you made a table cloth with this motif, it would make a great take-along, long term project. It would be breathtaking made in white. To make this into a snowflake ornament, use size 20 thread and a size 11 steel hook.

Random Quick Tip!

Non Slip Quilting Templates
If you are having trouble cutting fabric with a rotary cutter and cutting templates, because the template slips, and you don't need to be able to see through the template or ruler, you can use put non skid shelf liner on the back side applied with double stick tape. I do this for my little hexagon templates for English Paper Piecing. That way, the non skid liner sticks to the fabric and the fabric will move with the ruler as you cut your shapes out. Just put the double stick tape on the back of the template, then lay the template onto the non skid liner and cut it out as if you were cutting fabric with the template. Really Easy!
