Collar edge sewn on

I have the top and ends of the collar edge sewn on and it looks great!
****Question for anyone who has done something like this-will it be ok to leave the bottom free or will it curl when washed?
All suggestions and advice greatly appreciated!!!

Happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Motif # 23

Curds and Whey from Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior is done!
It's done in Lady ShuttleMaker's Peach Pandorea size 80.

Here it is displayed with the shirt it will be sewn to.

Scrunchie in use & Checking collar trim

You can't tell from the picture, but I have very thick hair and I wanted something that will be seen even if I just wear a loose pony tail and I think this will do very nicely! Although, today, you are seeing just a glimpse of my hair-it's waist length and today it's braided to try and keep a bit cool. I love that you can see the pattern and the color so well(I had my daughter help my put it in and take the picture).

I wanted to see how much of the collar trim is done by putting up to the shirt collar edge. It's over half way and I am excited! My daughter suggests that I just do the front since you don't usually see the back collar with all the hair I have and I like that suggestion. I will post it when it's complete and sewn on(hopefully within 2 weeks!). :)

Curds and Whey getting there

I have made some ok progress on this with all the other things I have done. It's now about 7 inches long. There are some mistakes which are not too noticeable and so I just left them alone. I hope to have this done next month. Looking for suggestions on how to sew it on to a shirt securely and without other thread showing. Thanks for any help. :)

Making progress

It's still not very far, but I have gotten along ok so far with this pattern. I can't wait to see it finished, but I think that will be awhile. :)

Tatting again :)

I have had about 2 weeks frustration over the 2 projects I messed up, but I am back to work :)
I started Mary Konior's Curds and Whey from Tatting with Visual Patterns in LadyShuttleMaker's Peach Pandorea size 80. I love the start. I want it to be something I can use on my peach shirt to fancy it up a little. I am praying I don't mess this one up and I am taking it slow! :)

Just Tatting.....

I have been trying to get a few things done for Mother's Day and have been making slow progress(mostly due to errors). I have made this cross before and my mother-in-law loved it and had requested I make one for her, so I thought this would be a good Mother's Day gift, but I messed up bad on 2 starts(I am sure it was the tv distraction again), but the 3rd time it got done(no tv, but plenty of music and silence). This is the Big Cross from Tatting Patterns & Designs by Gun Blomqvist and Elwy Persson. I have made a slight change in the top, I left off a ring at the top of the cross and didn't do chains to the clovers, just threads(my preference). The threads are size 10. Now I have at least 5 more to make, but only 1 needed by Sunday. :)

Next...the exciting news is I now have more HDT! This time it's LadyShuttleMaker's Peach Pandorea, and Tulips. The most interesting part is that I have worked mostly with size 10 thread and with the other HDT from Yarnplayer I have size 30 and 40, and now from LadyShuttleMaker I have size 20 and most concerning size 80. But they are BEAUTIFUL! Thanks to both HDT artists! :)
