I have to say that when I look now on Jane Eborall's pattern page I can't find the pattern for her very small butterfly. I'm sure it's Jane's pattern! I make it now from memory. It's my all-time-favourite pattern.
The patterns for the doilies come from my previous incarnation as a tatter, but I still love them. I think they have wonderful negative spaces. They were in the May 1984 issue of the Anna Burda magazine. I borrowed the magazine and copied the diagrams out. I still use those scribbles.
These are beautiful, my favorite color too.

the Jane's pattern!
Anna Burda featured tatting every May issue. I did find their patterns became more and more complicated as the years went on, I prefer the earlier ones.
