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.

If you have not read Sharon's post 

Are You a Shuttle Hoarder --- head on over!!!

What a hoot.   Sharon blogs at

Sharon's Tatted lace.

Motif #5 in Lizbeth 632 and Lizbeth 663

 Motif #6 in Lizbeth 615 and Lizbeth 632 - tension, tension, tension.   + a few doodles!   I like to have empty shuttles.   And, I must be a hoarder.   I seem to own a bunch - and like the variety of colors, sizes and styles.

Saw this on facebook, went to a few Target stores - and found one.   Too cute ; )    I see on the box there is a collection of FIVE.   The other four look to be the same doll in different clothing.   Would be nice to see the clothing sold separately.   I'm just sayin.    

motif #4

  I like the picots on the chains - they look like ruffles!  I enjoyed the motif & tatted twice.

This is 4th Motif 

from

Motifs for Marie by Kaye B. Judt.

Tatted with Lizbeth #622, Size 20 AND Lizbeth #621, Size 20

50 min of tatting

Double Picots!

Motif #3 from:

Motifs for Marie by Kaye B Judt.

I think one in size 20 + one in size 40.  Trying to empty some shuttles.

60 Minutes of tatting

Needed to empty some shuttles.    These two motifs didn't use much fiber!   I purchased this book at the 2011 Indiana Lace Day.   The author, Kaye Judt, was kind enough to autograph.     These motifs are small and I enjoy tatting them.

When I was shopping at the vendor areas,
during Indiana Lace Day,
I purchased Motifs for Marie.
Kaye Judt was kind enough to show me how
to tat motif #6 in her book.
I am grateful for the LJ demo.

I think I did ok with the motif. I'd like to try this again with a pink fiber - a size 20.
(Fiber might be cebelia#10 - had something already on the shuttle)

I like this book. The projects are small enough for me to try.
I like the directions as there are spaces between each element.

Next, I want to try one of the dimple heart shapes.
