Familiar with the Online Tatting Class?  

Link HERE for information and 2016 Index.   

AND - Link HERE to see some of the projects on the Homework blog.

The Online Tatting Class meets on Mondays.   New patterns begin at 3pm or 8:30pm ET.  Or, sign in a half hour earlier for needle tatting lessons and an open question/answer period (2:30 and 8:00pm.)

On Monday, 3/28, the Online Tatting Class will be going thru three projects/patterns, links HERE,  

The third one listed, is from Forty Original Designs in Tatting by Nellie Hall Youngburg.  Jane Eborall provided an awesome diagram.   It is the Acorn Medallion #24.  Of the 40 patterns in the book, this is one that I tatted ( the model for pattern / class) ,    

 LizBeth size 20, Color 164 (maybe I should have used gold colors!)

Join the discussion, tatt up the medallion!  

Hope to see you signed in on Monday : )

4" woven squares

every now and again, I pull out my pin loom and get more squares woven.  no idea what they will become.   I think using the zoom loom is fun and some day I will have a lot of 4" squares to crochet together for something.    Maybe a small throw.

Newsletter

 Did you get your Helping Hands Newsletter?   Nice gift enclosed, too -- I have not edged a hanky, yet.   I am trying to block tat, too - not much success.   May need to get a tutorial from my tatting friends!    OK - back to the newsletter, did you notice the IOLI convention information?   Look closely - it is going to be in Indianapolis this year.   LINK HERE.

 Still have snow, here.   Flurries today.   our forecast is for a warm up - should all melt soon.
