Tollway Tatters and Tablecloth

We had an AWESOME Tollway Tatters Gathering!!
12 Tatters from across America, Canada, and Australia.
Lots of different projects, great tatting and chatting!!
And, I tatted 4 motifs on my tablecloth in that time. 
From my estimation I need approx. 14 more rows to 
make it reach from side to side(7 rows on each side). 
It takes me approx. 1/2 hour to tat each motif and 
knowing that it takes approx. 17 hours to tat each 
side currently.  ;)
Hope you have a great tatting filled weekend!! :)

Tatting for an upcoming craft show

I tatted up this set of autumn leaves using Lizbeth 
size 40 threads.  Right to left- Autumn Spice, 
Orange Crush, Honey Drizzle, Falling Leaves, and 
Spice Cake.
And, I had to show this, Marilee, in size 40 these 
earrings are the same size as the leaves in the bottom 
picture on page 2 of your pattern.  ;)
I had a request for another cross.  This one is for the 
daughter of the lady I tatted the last one for.  She said 
light blue was her favorite color and normally I use 
Lizbeth Niagara Falls, but this time I changed it up 
and used a favorite of mine, Blue Ice.  I hope she likes it!
And, I have had a couple of chances to spend time with 
this little one.  Our newest addition to our morning 
ministry family.  It's precious time with any baby!!  :)
Have a great week and hope to see all the 
Tollway Tatters this Saturday!! :)
Happy tatting everyone!!! :)

Tatting with Tollway Tatters(in memories)

Ok, so in Feb. and Mar. of 2012: 
was tatting with these totally gorgeous colors of Oliver Twists 
threads and I wanted to check them out, but haven't until 
this weekend.  She so kindly sent me a sample to try.

This is in no way perfect, but it's cute.  The thread tats 
nicely, and the colors are fantastic!! :)

And the center is from Denise.  Wayyyy back when 
the Tollway Tatters were able to meet in person I received 
this little bag of "doodads" from Denise, and then I went 
through my tatting items I saw these and just had to use 
them with this thread.  Both are very fine.

So, in memory this weekend I got to tat with 
Diane and Denise!! :)
Hope you had a great tatting filled weekend!! :)
