Spring

(We are grateful.  The storms in our area were south of us & we have no damage.)

Had this out at the public library & didn't get much weaving accomplished.   Did not find any mistakes tho ...

The kit has fiber; however, I'm using Lizbeth, Size 20, Col. 159 & Col. 646 -- the kit comes with white fiber to complete four patterns.

Traditional Teneriffe Lace Patterns.

Pattern 2:   Spinning Star

Joan Brash kit & instructions.  

Kit includes custom loom, needle, fiber, + four patterns/instructions.  

This is an incredible book.  82 pages - and spiral edge.  Clear diagrams & lovely projects.  Charming cover!

 I have had our 16mo old granddaughter here q o week.   Wow.   Never a dull moment! Lots of closed doors, putting things higher up!  Overtired once she is back home.   She will be back here on the 23rd.  Not much tatting to report.    Did manage one angel wing -- and will launch the 2nd wing!   One day I will have a completed angel.

On Line Class

I used Lizbeth Fibers on this

practice piece.  Size 20.

Colors 601, 684, 603.

Interested?   Check out Flowers in Turkish Tatting

available thru Virtual Education at the Lace Museum.

Next one will be fuller - more seed heads and probably better sizing with the picots.

Such a fun class to participate in.

 

Valentine's Day!!

Beautiful tatting shuttle.

3D Angel

Pulled this out & finished the circle, lots of cupping - not sure it will make a difference once assembled.   The 2 wings are next -- Using Lizbeth 20, Col. 601 and 11/0 Glass Seed Beads.

continue to empty tatting shuttles ....

 I keep adding to 

the lace sample pile.  Tho, maybe the blue flower is too large --

 The lace samples are created for the cards being handed out at lace demonstrations.
