Eleonore Endrucks: ‘Die Schiffchen-Spitszen’, 1920

Have you read the news?    Re. Endrucks patterns?    

Check out Muskaan's blog post:  Endrucks patterns-galore .   

The Endrucks patterns are listed in categories:  Hearts, Butterflys, Flowers, Foliage, Bookmarks, Baskets, Coasters .... yeah, you get the idea.

Not familiar with Endruck?   - check out Endruck's 1920 Project

I've tatted a few of the patterns.   I have a couple more on my table that I'd like to create.  

Check out the blog post (link above), Endruck's patterns (link above), &/or facebook group.   https://www.facebook.com/groups/1235560633606162/

These are creative and beautiful patterns.   

The instructions are marvelous - even I can follow them (and that is sayin something).  

Happy Spring!

11th Tatting Day - Theme Jingle Bells

Pattern by Merie Lettieri

(who is the President of The Great Lakes Lace Group)

I may have made a couple mistakes along the way.   

Tatted with size 40 LizBeth fiber.

If I try this pattern again, I was thinking to make it with

white or ecru fiber.

I tatted another blue bell (#62) from the

Mini Tats book by

Patti Duff.

I added a bead to this one - think I like it.

Made with size 20 LizBeth fiber.

11th Tatting Day - Theme Jingle Bells

So, here is my bell -- tatted with AB 1324.

(it is lt blue with silver thread).

I tatted the bell pattern (#62)  found in 

Mini Tats by Patti Duff.

(no, didn't win the contest - did enjoy participating)

Near the end of Tatting Day,

one of the participants handed out a beautiful tatted

angel to every person who attended!

How exciting ; )

Mine has been hanging up on my pin rack - near my desk.

I went on-line and found a similar pattern.

If you 'd like to try this angel, see

Sharren's Post "Angel Talk!"

for the pattern and variations.

11th Tatting Day - Theme Jingle Bells

Oh yes - there were exclusive tatting projects taught 

during Tatting Day.   I'm just a very slow tatter!   Did enjoy learning 

new tatting technique and think I can get these done before the holiday.

This is the kit from Kay Judt -- eventually, I will get the tatting

completed and the ornament assembled.

Her pattern is wonderful and she showed us how to put it all together.

OK, so my tatted piece (on the red thimble) isn't much,

some day it will be finished!   I think I need to start over as my

chains are a mess.   Would look better if they were

a better tension.

This is a start on a bell pattern

by Merie Lettieri - I was using size 40 fiber

for the very first time.

I love the color (#644).   This pattern can

be made with picots, or beads, with jingle bells added.

Yes, Merie thought of variations on her pattern.

This one is staying out on the desk to get more rings and chains done.

I'd really like to make it thru the whole pattern!

These teachers are great and attending these classes is wonderful.

I've learned so much and enjoyed the people I've met.

With this darn cold that slowed me down,

I feel like I'm 7-10 days behind everything I had planned!

Feeling much better and looking forward to the holiday festivities.
