Clover Japan

I used a winter white fiber (I don't know - was left over on a shuttle)

and Oren Bayan Dantel "50" No. 579.  plus white 6/8 bead.

From this 22 page book:

 

Can see these flowers in photo, back cover of the book.   Or below, part of the photo inside the book.

This took much longer than I

anticipated!

Clover Japan

This is made using one of 3

Found this on line:

 I do not

know if you can sitll purchase the pattern kits.

The ETSY shop I bought them from (years ago)

does not seem to be selling, currently, on ETSY.

I did find this on-line:

 

I do not know if the kits are still available for purchase.

I used Marilee's HDT & a few Dk. Coral Rainbow Delica Beads on this enameled copper butterfly piece.

From the Netherlands, Fish shape tatting shuttle..

ETSY store:   https://www.etsy.com/shop/Banyek.

The enameled copper butterfly piece, 

from Tattered Armadillo, ETSY,

is Butterfly Tatted Edging Pendant.

Up next on my table.   The instructions in the kit, 

c.2020 Gretchen L. Miller,

encourages tatters to "personalize your butterfly as you tat".  Suggested adding seed beads - create bead picots for sparkle, change picot lengths.    So, I'm trying to be creative,

searching thru my beads - and I find this elegant HDT by Marilee, (Blog:  https://yarnplayertats.blogspot.com/) HDT fiber: Link to Marilee's new on line store.

https://goimagine.com/marileestatting/.   Thinking I may use

Marilee's HDT and see how it comes out.    

The little motif, in photo, from Motifs for Marie.

Motif #23.   Lizbeth size 20, Col. 185.

This charming book (copyright Kaye B. Judt 2009) has 

many small motifs.   As far as I am aware, can 

still be purchased thru tatting stores/vendors.

 

The Evening Star Quilt Guild of Anderson IN decided to use tatted motifs for flower centers in their quilt.

The "Marie" is Marie Webster - home in Marion, IN.  I

have not been there. https://quiltershalloffame.net/.

 I've been doing

well emptying shuttles of fiber left overs on the tatting shuttles.

Still have a few to go .... 

 I turn them into the Indiana Lace Chapter, https://lafayettelacemakers.blogspot.com/, Lafayette Lacemakers ... The lace samples are attached to chapter business cards and distributed at public events.

 

Tatting: Motifs for Marie (book)

[Modified] Motif #16.

I used Marilee's HDT - left over from previous project.

 The motif on the right side (100% cotton Flora fiber20 - color 17) is Motif #16 - pattern in the book.

Motifs for Marie

by Kaye B. Judt

Motif #13, Gold fiber [probably Lizbeth 20, Col.613].

 Nice to use up some odd bits left over on shuttles!

 Wonderful instructions.  A fun tatting kit to put together.

 

My new favourite shuttle ....

Oh my stars ... for real ... my new

favourite tatting shuttle.   The teardrop shape

is perfect!!!   The hook is perfect!!!

The Knotted Vine.   ETSY.

I have a few shuttles from M Clark.

But THIS ONE --- WOW.   I'm blown away.

It is perfect in weight & the tear drop shape is so 

easy to tat with.

This is First Snowfall.

Robin Perfetti - in progress pix link.

I'm still creating the other piece, Design Tutorial Snowflake!

Robin Perfetti's Tatting By The Bay blog is wonderful.

Her books are great, too -- check out her site ; )

I think the fiber is size 20, color ecru or white - I cannot recall what I wound on the shuttle.

This was started following a L.A.C.E. Chapter meeting in November 2024.    L.A.C.E. facebook link.

L.A.C.E. is a charter chapter (Elmhurst, IL) of the

 IOLI - International Organization of Lace.

OYA: Buds Pattern Doily

 

Buds Pattern Doily

Pattern and Instruction

c. Victoria Ong.

On Line Class/Education thru 

The Lace Museum, Virtual Education.

This is in progress.  Modified from pattern in her book.  I'm creating one of the rounds.  Using Lizbeth, Size 20, Col. 678.  The thread 'tails' will be taken care of on completion of this round.   I tape them to the back while making the oya double knots - keeping them out of the way.  I should have this ready for the final step (fancy stuff with the two open loops).  And a new pattern for the participants in these sessions.

Stay tuned, Fouth/final session will be on Wednesday.

I need more templates!!!

These are a challenge to photograph -- trying my best.
