crochet motifs

[snowbird62869]

Hi!! I am Joanie. I have crocheted for over 35 years and am looking for a crocheted motifs pattern to make a table runner or maybe a table cloth. This would be a hand me down finished project for generations to come. So I need to get started. lol thinking #10 thread. I have been looking all morning and have come up with nothing. that figures.

Welcome to Crochet Talk Snowbird!! Have you check http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sear...ptioned_thumbs ? perhaps one of them would work for you. Also Pinterest has some beautiful things. There is a couple of foreign sites out there I can give you also, but those are using graphs. I will see if I can find them and get back to you

Here is one, its an e-book but has some pretty ones in there that might help http://issuu.com/talpa/docs/262_patrones_crochet

Another option is : http://www.liveinternet.ru/users/4287149/post186658544/ it takes a while to download, but it is a great site!!

I may also have something pinned if you wanted to take a look, but the last two links I think were the best. http://pinterest.com/rosieh20/crochet-sites/

Have fun!!

did you catch the last two I sent you, I edited the post so you might of missed them

I found the perfect one. The pattern calls for size 20 weight thread and #11 hook. I will use 30 weight and #7 hook. Original pattern says finished motif is 1 3/4 " square and this will be bigger but I will like it. Thank you.
