Magic Heart Pattern from

I used Marilee's HDT (Yarnplayer).    Left over on a shuttle.   

I might have enough fiber for one more heart.

dispays ....

 Putting together 'new' 8x10 portable displays of tatting, bobbin lace, +beginner pieces.  I try to use what I've finished -- colorful pieces I have on hand.

 Bobbin Lace bookmarks, snake, and candle mat (or photo frame).  

 Beginner pieces of bobbin lace and tatting.  

They fit in plastic notebook size sleeves.   Easy to lay on the table & not worry about interested people 'touching' the pieces.

I don't know if the same people visit lacemaking demonstrations - I figured I'd bring something different for the next demo.

These are the ones I used at the last demo (Farm at Prophetstown):

 

 Demo edges.

Shoal of Fish.  bobbin lace. pinned to the front of the lace pillow.

Teneriffe Lace Needlework Kit(s)

I received an email / newsletter from Karen Bovard-Sayre, about her Needle Lace Arts, Teneriffe Lace kits.   Now I own a kit (or 2) and decided this is the day to look at her video step-by-step, to get the threads on the wooden loom.

 Guess what?  She makes it so east to start -- So I've got my pieces out and have started the foundations.

 The mess before the weaving and knotting begin on the looms .... 

For my tatting artist friends, you may recall she is the Author of many split ring tatting books.   PLUS - shuttles.   PLUS - ETSY.  May want to give the looms a 'go'.

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!

Complete Book of Tatting by Rebecca Jones

 

On the left, a butterfly pattern based on one found in Complete Book of Tatting by Rebecca Jones (p.71)  -- on the right Jon Yusoff's dragonfly pattern.    link to pattern HERE

I may have tatted more - from this book.   I am 100% sure I used it for reference many times.

I had to see if I had photos of the tatting I made from Rebecca Jones book.   And I do, have photos.  I think it might have been the first tatting book I ever purchased.   For information on any of these pieces, see the link below.
