Row 23 of 33, and row 5 of 33

Got to get some tatting in today. :)
I finished row 23 of 33 on my Cathedral Doily.

The printer paper behind it is to show size.

 Another picture of it.

 And....before it, I started Rainbow Taffy Cathedral 

Doily #2 and got 5 rows done.

I really enjoy tatting this design!! Elaine has such 

wonderful ideas(as do all the designers)!!!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend, and that 

you have a fabulous week, and get some tatting in!!

Rainbow Taffy Cathedral Doily #1 started

I have the first 10 rows of 33 done, on the first of 2 

of these doilies(and I am only getting ready for row 

23 on mine).  ;)

Oh, for those who don't know, this doily pattern is

in the book here:

Well, that is all to show for now.

Our outdoor ministry is starting this Sunday 

morning(2 months later than normal), so I 

have to get busy getting everything in order 

and together, plus also to get the Sunday night 

stuff done.  Lots to do.

Have a wonderful and blessed weekend!!!  :)

Elaine P. Gan's new book is available now

For those who have seen the items I have test tatted:

A Start.....

I have a senior who loves the Cathedral Doily I 

am test tatting(and only on row 23 of 33).  She 

wants 2 in Lizbeth Rainbow Taffy(size 40) before 

Christmas.  Well, I have made a start and have the 

first 7 rows of the first doily done.

 Our daughter was out of state for 2 weeks and came 

home bearing gifts(not for dad, but for mom!).

I love Tigger and my collection is growing,

and this adorable multicolored monkey will add 

to my ever growing stuffed animal collection.

 I just have to show those fabulous sparkly purple 

eyes and ears!!! :)

Have a fabulous day!!!

Happy Tatting!

Cathedral Doily row 22 of 33 done

Well, it's still progressing!!

All the threads are Lizbeth size 40.  These last 2 

rows are Sea Island Citrus.

It measures 1 foot across.

 Here is a picture for size comparison.

Have a wonderful tat-filled day!! :)

*********************************************

Well, I also got a test tatted snowflake done today!

Another Elaine P. Gan design.

Have a great night!! :)

Re-test tatting Snowflakes

These are more of Elaine's designs.  

I have test tatted these before, but she said she 

made some changes(not noticeable).

The first one doesn't look as good scanned, but 

it's here.  It's Lizbeth size 40 Purple Dk. with 

tiny purple beads.

 The picture below is the original I test tatted 

quite some time ago.

 This one is supposed to have 6 points, but I goofed 

and it has 7, but I really like it!!!

It's tatted in Lizbeth size 40 Bright Orange with 

orange seed beads.

 The picture below is the original I tatted quite 

some time ago and notice, I paid attention to 

the directions and it only has 6 points.  ;)

Hope you are having a wonderful day!!

Happy Tatting!!  :)

*******************************************************************
Adding to this post...

Got another one re-test tatted.

This one is Lizbeth size 20 Blue Ice.

I love the star in the center, the frilly center and 

arms, and the solid outline.

 The picture below is the one test tatted awhile ago.

Have a great night!  :)

Rows 20 & 21 of 33

Still tatting along.  Have to get working on the 

other 2 which need to be completed before 

December.

The other 2 are to be tatted with Lizbeth Rainbow 

Taffy, but here is my current dilemma which I am 

going to order more.  I have 2 balls and they are 

drastically different in color.

Oh well, hopefully they will be started next week!

Happy tatting and have a wonderful week!! :)

Another "doily" suncatcher done

I am trying to empty the shuttles I used to tat the 

bracelets for my friend. And since I love suncatchers 

and I think this Cathedral Doily design from Elaine 

P. Gan works beautifully I keep tatting them.

 This one is in size 40 Lizbeth Vineyard Harvest with 

pink seed beads and a large metal ring. The picture 

below shows how big it is on a sheet of copy paper.

Here are the 4 I have tatted trying to empty shuttles.

Each is unique!!  Slight changes to enhance the sparkle.

 I love to see the beads in windows!!! :)

Happy Tatting and have a wonderful day!!! :)

Row 19 of 33 done.

Still making progress.

I have it on a piece of printer paper so you can see 

the size.

Have a wonderful tatting filled week!!! :)

Another "doily" suncatcher

This design is from the center of the Cathedral Doily

I am test tatting for Elaine P. Gan.  I love the design 

and it seems to go well in suncatchers.

This is size 40 Lizbeth Ocean Sunset with Preciosa 

Crystal Components (bicone beads) from Firemountaingems 

and an acrylic ring(my daughter gets these rings from 

buying fancy scarves(which she doesn't end up 

wearing).  ;)

 Love it in the light to see the beads!

 And this is to show the size difference in them all.

The first is a metal bangle bracelet, the other 2 are 

the acrylic rings.

Happy Tatting and have a great weekend!!! :)

Still test tatting

This is the start of a necklace pattern.  It's a design 

which demands your complete attention, but I am 

enjoying the twists and turns for some reason.  If 

you think this is a larger thread than I usually use 

you are right.  This is Lizbeth size 20 Caribbean.

I also just completed a suncatcher using the center 

of the Cathedral Doily pattern. Using Lizbeth 

size 40(my usual) Rainbow Taffy and purple seed

beads.

 It's so pretty in the window!! :)

It's an extremely windy day here today.  Our sustained 

winds are 15-30 miles per hour, and the gusts are up 

to 50 miles per hour.  I think I will continue with 

housework and tatting most of the rest of today!! :)

Happy tatting!!!

Cathedral Doily row 17 of 33 and 3 Connected Hearts Bracelets

We had an All Day Praise on Saturday for the seniors in 

our Sunday night ministry, and since I thought

(I should never think!) I would have time to 

sit and listen to the music(5 hours), I brought my doily 

to work on.  I got 3 arches completed and that was it.

But, a dear sweet lady saw my doily and asked if I 

would make 2 for her by December(YIKES!!!), and 

I said yes(I am not even done with mine-only 1/2 way).

 And, another friend had wanted the bracelet I test 

tatted 2 posts ago which I had to extend and when 

I gave it to her Saturday she asked me to make 3 

for her teen granddaughters.  So, here they are.

I really hope she likes them! She told me to choose 

the colors and I really hate having to do that for 

others.

Well, on to housework and Bible study, then to row 

18 on the doily(thankfully I can't start on the other 

2 until she gets a chance to choose her colors)!

Have a wonderfully blessed day and hopefully some

tatting too!!! :)

***Continuing tatting today and row 18 is done now.  :)
