Gifted threads!!!

I had a lady who met me at a craft show many years 
ago(before the virus).  She had called me many months 
or a year later and told me she had threads she would 
like to give me.  So I had a few bags from her back then. 
Well, Monday night I got another call from her and she 
told me a lady in her crochet group had lots of thread she 
wanted to give to someone who could use it, and that she 
had more also.  Well, I met up with her on Tuesday and 
The bag in front is from the lady I "know" and the rest 
is all from the lady she knows.  All different sizes.  I was 
excited to see the Sulky thread so I can try them out!! 
There is one bag mostly size 30 so it will go to someone 
else, but my friend who crochets towel tops is receiving 
all the 10's, 5's, and 3's.
I gifted the two ladies a tatted Ice Drop each.  The happy 
and surprised faces were worth it!!

The necklace I am tatting is taking time, but making 
progress:


And, I am back working on plastic canvas name tags 
for some of my seniors(no pictures today). 
Have a wonderful day and get some tatting time in!! :)

Happy 4th of July(mine is tatting and Christmas movies)!

I have made very little progress on my Multi-Triangle 
Insert.

I am working on a necklace/collar I saw in a facebook 
group.  It takes tons of beads!!!  I am on the second 
section and there is a third after this.

 I am making myself a plastic canvas sled "welcome" 
sign for the holidays. The challenge was all the green 
for the wreath and I think I made a mistake, but it looks 
good for me.

I have decided that I am not going to continue 
with my macrame and micro-macrame(except 
to use up the cords I have).  I greatly prefer my
tatting and its less expensive.
Hope you have a wonderful day and get some 
tatting done!!  :)
