Crosses

 This first cross is Mary Konior's Large Cross in size 10 Celery HDT from Yarnplayer.  I love this green most of all(but, my favorite color is blue).    :)

It's for another lady in our Sunday night group.  It had to be large because she is legally blind.

I have this feeling I may be tatting a cross a week till all have one.  

The first cross, which I didn't get a picture of was from the book Tatted Bookmarks Needle & Shuttle edited by Barbara Foster Handy Hands, Inc. The Heritage Cross is by Dee Powell.

And here are some more.  The one that I didn't get a picture of was the same as the red below, but I added blue with the red when tatting the chains-which made the chains thicker than the rest, but the lady who received it loved it since red and blue are her favorite colors.  :)

These ones are all size 40 Lizbeth threads.  The first two are Rainbow Taffy, and the red is Christmas Red.

One of the Rainbow Taffy crosses is going to a niece of ours who we haven't seen in a very long time and I think she is getting married.  Wow!  I remember her as an 8yr. old.  :)

Still tatting along.....

I have been tatting!  My daughter asked for crosses for ladies at her church and she picked out the colors for each lady.  So here are 7 Heritage Crosses

(same pattern as these are:  http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2013/02/5-heritage-crosses.html  ).

They are all tatted in size 40 thread.  First is Lizbeth Purple Iris Fusion, second: Lizbeth Peacock Blues, 

third : Lizbeth Angel's Love, fourth: Tatskool's HDT Coral Reef, fifth: Lizbeth Bright Orange, 

sixth: Lizbeth Girly Girl, seventh: Lizbeth Island Breeze.

I have also been working on another project (60 smaller items), 

but I won't be able to show them for quite some time,

 because some who will be receiving them might see them here, but I will post them once they are given out.  

5 Heritage Crosses

I finished my order of 5 crosses.  She like the Heritage cross and I am hoping she will be pleased with these. I am bringing them to her tomorrow.  :)

All tatted in size 40.  

First: Lizbeth Girly Girl, second: Lizbeth Purple Iris Fusion, third: Lizbeth Scottish Thistle, 

fourth: Yarnplayer's HDT Celery(my favorite-yet my favorite color is blue), fifth: Lizbeth Peacock Blues.

3 Tatted Crosses

I received an order Sunday while at church from a lady who wants 5 tatted crosses to give her children for Easter.  She says she has a tatted cross from her great-grandmother and cherishes it and wants her children to have some.  She wants them about 5 inches with tassels.  So, I started with one of the boys(request-1 blue and 1 green), the blue one is last in this picture even though it was tatted first.  It's Mary Konior's Large Cross from Tatting with Visual Patterns.  It's tatted in LadyShuttlemaker's HDT  Helms Deep size 50, and is 5 inches long.  Next, I started on a girls(request-1 pink, 1 purple, 1 lavender-not solids).  I decided to make a cross I haven't made before from one of my newest books-Tatted Bookmarks Needle & Shuttle edited by Barbara Foster Handy Hands, Inc. This is the Heritage Cross by Dee Powell.  First I tatted it in size 40 Lizbeth Girly Girl(center cross) which ended up being about 3 1/2 inches long, next I tatted it in size 20(which the pattern calls for)HDT Sacred Lotus from Crochet4U2Dye4 and it ended up only 4 inches long.  Well, now I have 2 crosses for future needs or young girls, and I have 4 crosses still to work on.

Also, I am still working on the doily which I had thought would go much quicker and would have been done a couple weeks ago and isn't.  I thought it would be a nice give-away "prize", but my husband has claimed it!

This weekend I won't get any tatting done(as far as I can tell) because our 4 & 8 year old granddaughters are coming to stay and play.  The oldest has asked me if she could learn to tat cuz' "she wants to do it when she gets older"(quite neat since she doesn't get to see me very often!!).  :)

If there are any tatting lessons this weekend, I will do my best to get pictures and share them with you all.  :)
