Tollway Tatters (part three)

Diane

tatted a stunning piece with metal doodat + beads

photo of it finished, on her blog post - HERE.

The motif from the ever popular

Minitats by Patti Duff book.

Am I spotting a new shuttle ??? a blue shuttle??? 

Could it be one of the new Aerlit bobbin shuttles?

And, we revisited the split ring.

These made by Diane.

Seems both Denise and I make them

in a similar way - without causing

so much pain in the hand!!!!

Woot - now Diane will be off to the races with split rings

in her patterns.   No stopping her now ; )

Our new challenge pieces --- THREE of them ...

oh my, who knows what the creative tatters will end up with ; )

I confess I'm not finished the first doo dat challenge.

Didn't get the tatting started - did have a couple diagrams/notes started.

Diane had some gifts to share ... a new to me fiber to try,

and blingged shuttles!   Floral and Cherries.   Both so pretty + glittery.

Then, come to find, her generosity continues with oodles

of doodats and beads to choose!!!   Awesome stash builders.

thank you ever so much Diane.

I adore this photo of Diane and Eva!

Eva is learning how to tat + is moving right along

making chains:

Eva also went around the table

and took photos for Diane.

She is the sweetest peach!

Hang on now ... there is more, are you wondering about those nifty new shuttles?   Stay tuned.
