Wow....what a buzz that was.

So much to see and do in such a short amount of time. But it was ALL wonderful and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Unpacking my bags now so I have to show you the great bags I got from Ginny and Karen.

Ginny made me this awesome blue (my fav color) bag to hold my tatting projects. It has zippered compartments and the fabric inside has a tatting motif on it! Is now sporting my badges from the states I travelled through on my trip. Soon to be full of my latest project! Thanks so much Ginny. This bag means a lot to me and will be a treasured possession! XX









Ginny also made me this great little mug cover. Has pockets all around the outside for quick access to shuttles and some more pockets inside! Currently sitting on my desk on the Finger Lakes mug!






Karen Witchey made me a great tote bag which I am going to use to store threads in to sit near my desk when I am working. Has a gorgeous decorated horse on one side and shuttles on the other!


Thank you Karen. For everything. Being my tour guide, Going on the boat (!!!) and for keeping me warm with a windcheater at Watkins Glen. It was really appreciated. XX

      Will be back this year. Nutting out the logistics atm. Will be going 'up north' first this time then straight home from Atlanta.

Deceptive patterns

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.
