-

Jane Eborall's Flowery SCMR bookmark which I ADORE!!

http://www.janeeborall.freeservers.com/Flowerbookmark.pdf

Done in Bre-Aly size 30 thread (hand dyed from Bre-Aly on Etsy)
Another UFO bites the dust!!



Bookmark 13


Julie Patterson's Spring Flowers Bookmark

My "in flight" pattern LOL. Done in Pansy Perfect Quilter (about an 80)


Bookmarks 14 and 15








Ok - maybe cheating a little using the same pattern but I LOVE the pattern. Top one is in Altin Basak and the bottom one is in Lizbeth Caribbean. Just needed tassels.....all better now! AHA!! Now thanks to MaureenL I know who to credit the pattern to. When I did it the first time and put it up here I had no idea who it was and did ask but all I got told was that it was an adaptation of an old Anna magazine pattern. So....

THANKYOU Jane McLellan for an absolutely wonderful pattern!!

    Really nice book marks your work is superb love 12 and the blue one on the end as my favorites I don't know if you have tried it but I use fre-check and a couple of layers it's crystal clear and make the book marks straight as an arrow. Wont distract from any beautiful work.

      Never used it - not sure if it is available in Australia but will look at alternatives. Usually put them into a plastic bookmark sleeve if they are to be used. Good idea. Thanks.

      Thanks Maureen. All I knew was it was an adaptation of an old Anna Magazine pattern. Now I can finally credit the person who did it!! Thanks Jane!

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

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.
