Gathering of Tatters [Part One]

Tollway Tatters:

Denise, Sue Anna, Barbara, Me, 

Marilee aka Yarnplayer, Diane aka Lace Lovin' Librarian, 

Diane's Granddaughter.   

(Diane's daughter, Alison, took the photograph).

I noticed some of Alison's tatting up on Diane's blog today.   

The Tollway Tatters gathered last week ... to share, laugh, chat + create ..... 

..... Exchange goodies. .....  

Get help with techniques, adding beads,

 hands on book reviews, compare fibers, 

oooh and aaah over tatting, bags, shuttles, +tools we cannot live without.

Have I forgotten anything???

Thx ladies for the warm welcome.

I enjoyed the generosity of spirit and

sharing our tatting passion.    What fun to 

relax with like minded tatters for five hours.   

These are lovely fobs with charms (including first name initial)

to match unique shuttles

created by Diane - photo above for Karol aka Rosebud's Stitching

photo on bottom for me ; )  Thx so much!

Lovely fiber + tatting from Sue Anna and Denise.

Thx you both!

Denise said it is a rose motif ... and, when I went on line,

I found the pattern + more information HERE.

I need to give this a try - it looks so beautiful in hand.

I think Denise needs a blog, don't you?

I want to use it with a Kanzashi flower - right now,

it is on my desk where I can continue to admire it!!!

I brought a tin of naked Kanzashi flowers

for the ladies to embellish, using their

tatting, buttons, beads --- I hope they enjoy

playing in their stash and creating a fun flower.   

I have a couple new Clover Templates

and think the new flower shapes are fun.

The last one I made is for my MIL

and, I entered it into the Porter Co Fair.

I don't know if it will be awarded a ribbon - I hope so.

Oh, and there is MORE - in Part Two ....
