Tatting and a kind of new to me craft

Crosses, crosses and more crosses.

I have been tatting Elaine P. Gan's 
Justification Cross and her 

My Portion Cross.  They seemed like something 

people were actually interested in last year at the 

craft show, so I am trying to have about 10 of each.

And, I saw this "reel" on facebook for Oh Me, Oh My Crochet 

and I love her color choices and Granny Square items.

Her Sunburst Granny Square Cardigan really caught my 

attention and I would love to make it.  So, I am learning. 

I wanted different colors, but they are only in the I Love 

this Cotton, not in the I Love this Yarn(which is such 

a shame), so I looked through all Hobby Lobby had and 

this was the best choice for me.  I have decided not to add 

a solid color for joining so it will all look uniform, and 

according to our daughter- Tie-Dyed, which if you know 

me...you know I love Tie-Dye!!  :D
So, below are my humble beginnings just in the last hour 

or so.

I hope you are having a great start to your weekend!! 

Happy Tatting and crafting everyone!!! :)

 

Tatting for an upcoming craft show

I love Yarnplayer's Small Maple Leaf Earring pattern!!

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!!! :)

 

Yes, I have been tatting.

My daughter gave me lots of stones to 

tat around and sometimes they really 

inspire me.  This is one of 3 similar 

stones.  They are all the same greenish/

blue.  I like how this turned out!

This is Lizbeth size 40 Countryside with 

clear glass seed beads.  I thought it was 

Blue River Glades(which is set out for 

the next one.)  ;)

This is a Tiger Eye Tear Drop stone.  I 

like these colors for autumn.  Lizbeth 

size 40 Golden Honey(limited edition) 

and brown glass seed beads.

This is a dark Chevron Amethyst stone. 

I love the deep dark purple(very hard to 

photograph for an amateur).  I used 
Lizbeth size 40 Elderberry Jam and dark

 purple metallic seed beads.

This one is a Rose Quartz Tear Drop stone. 

I used Lizbeth size 40 Raspberry Frappe, 

and the chain has pink glass seed beads.

I needed 4 crosses for some very dear ladies I  know. 

I still have to sew in ends as usual, but they are all 

tatted.  First two are Elaine P. Gan's My Portion Cross 

in Lizbeth Purple Iris Fusion, and Elaine's Love on High 

Cross in Raspberry Frappe(size 40 of course).

And the next two are Elaine P. Gan's Justification Cross 

in Lizbeth Rainbow Taffy and Purple Iris Dk., and the 

next is Mary Konior's Small Cross in Lizbeth Wildflower 

Garden and Snow White(size 40 of course).

Tons more in the works, but nothing near finished!!  ;)
Hope you have a wonderful upcoming weekend and 

make sure to get some tatting time in!!  :)

 

Another cross and a butterfly shuttle

 I tatted another Elaine P. Gan cross. 
This one is My Portion Cross(my favorite) 
tatted in Lizbeth size 40 Black.

And...yesterday I received a package and 
there was a butterfly shuttle in it.

It's Saturday and I worked hard this week to make 
sure I would have tatting time today.  So, I have 
my cocoa made, and I need to choose a good movie
(maybe a Christmas one or two, or three  ;)   ) and 
then to get busy tatting.

Have a fabulous tatting filled Saturday!!! :)

Teacup and Saucer

I am not into coffee or tea, but after designing a 

tiny teapot in the online tatting design class I gave 

the teapot to one of our Sunday night seniors who is 

the person who suggested me designing it, well, 

another senior saw it and loved it and asked for one, 

well, I REALLY don't want to tat another, so...

I found this pattern online from Kathleen Gillard Campion:
file:///C:/Users/Sue/Downloads/Teacup%20&%20Saucer%20by%20Kathleen%20Gillard%20Campion.pdf
and decided she just might like it.

 Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Island Breeze and 

Raspberry Pink Med.

 Sitting on copy paper and next to my cell phone 

for a bit of size comparison.

 I like it better together.  ;)

Oh, I also got 3 more crosses done.  They are for 

my hubby's step-mom and sisters.
These 2 are Elaine P. Gan crosses.

My Portion Cross.
In size 40 Yarnplayer's HDT Beach Cafe.

 Justification Cross.
In size 40 Lizbeth Pineapple Parfait.

I just realized that I forgot to get a 

scan of the 3rd cross.

It was the Big Cross from Tatting Patterns & 

Designs by Gun Blomqvist & Elwy Persson 

tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Peacock Blues.

Hope you are having a great tatting day!!! :)
