    Another lovely motif, this one by Iris Niebach.

    Tatting lends itself to wonderful medallions that 'mimic' fine embroidery. I can visualize this motif in gold thread on a velvet evening bag or velvet box (I have one it would look perfect on). Thanks so much for the link - I'm heading over there now!

    Glad it's getting 'cooler' for you. I'm assuming you've had the equivalent of 90 F. here in the US, and I agree that that's too hot! However, you are managing to tat these sweet motifs for us to enjoy, Is the 'larger project' a secret for now?

    Hi Kathy,
    Thanks for your lovely comments.
    Yes we have just had a week of over 100F every day so not really good tatting weather.
    The larger project isn't secret - just not much progress. Will post once I get into it.

Belinda Spence put up a challenge in the facebook group Tatting the Australian Way. https://www.facebook.com/groups/847655165276159/ It was a free pattern and anyone could participate. Well....it LOOKED easy enough. But it actually has a more than usual level of concentration required, as we pretty much all found out! First attempt and I made the rookie mistake of thinking it was a rock along easy pattern so I used Alenalea Rako HDT...... and suffered the consequences. After attempt number 1.... after cutting out a repeat of the pattern because I joined in the wrong place (twice),I ended up untatting 9 rings in an attempt to not run out of thread. THIS is what I had left! This was the result of the first attempt. Really love Lea's HDT. Withstands unpicking beautifully and always feels great to tat with. So I decided to try it again..... This time with Altin Basak 50 in red and Butterfly gold thread Version 3 was a breeze. A couple of small unpicks and swearing at the fraying L...

This one might not count cos it is not strictly a stand alone motif. But it was so cute I just had to see if it would slip on in there!!! This is the centre of the larger project I have just started. MOTIF 8 The pattern was designed by Lene Bjorn and was found in Orkis Bladet - the magazine of the Danish Tatting Association (Dansk Orkisforening). However there is some controversy surrounding this one. It is also in Lyn Morton's book Tatting Patterns......either way it is a lovely motif! The thread is Garden Afternoon by Yarnplayer. Size 20. Given to me by my best mate Dantatter.
