    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.

    You are such a fantastic tatter! Your stitches are perfect, I am so jealous. This is my favorite of Iris' motifs. Keep 'em coming!

Shuttle blog starting soon

Hi Everyone, Just letting you know that instead of adding a page here that I cannot add to for shuttles, I will be starting a new blog called The Shuttle In My Pocket very soon. In collating mode for all the pics and will add details to the posts as I can find them for each shuttle. Comments will be gratefully accepted, especially if you have details of a shuttle where I don't! Watch this space for new as we get set up.

Motif 8??

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.

Finally finished the doily. I have to consider this a humbling pattern. One I kinda wish I hadn't used good HDT on for a first try. It looks ok(ish) but some of the joins were hard to work out and I have had to use up a lot of my precious thread correcting things. But hey - it is a learning experience....every new challenge a reason to get excited. Might sit a bit better once I block it tomorrow. Regardless it is still an awesome pattern by an awesome designer!!!!! Thanks Lene for the beautiful pattern and thanks Susanne for the thread. Now onto the next motif!!!!! The details of pattern and thread are already shown below the centre piece pic shown in the last post "Motif 8??"
