Row 10 of 33 done

Well, it's finally back on track!!! :)
Just a reminder, this is Elaine P. Gan's Cathedral 
Doily design and I am test tatting it.
It's being tatted in Lizbeth size 40 colors.
Center is Purple Splendor, next is Wildflower Garden,
and now it's Coral Splash.
Happy Tatting and have a wonderful day!!! :)


A Purple Minty Fudge Ice Drop

This is Diane's Minty Fudge Ice Drop tatted in size 
40 Lizbeth Purple Splendor.  There are adjustments 
made to the center back and front, but the outer round 
is according to the pattern(that is why the chains don't 
look right, but I think it's a pretty flower shape this 
way.
Still working on emptying this shuttle.
Have a wonderful day and hopefully some tatting too!

Re-tatted Row 9

The chains are much better and have that arch!!
  Well, I am trying to empty shuttles again and I saw 
that the center of the doily would go well into a bangle 
suncatcher, but I don't have clear purple beads(some 
on order), so it's just a hanging decoration.
And, while trying to empty shuttles, I also have 
a possible necklace pendant all from the center 
of the doily design.  ;)
Hope your day is going well, and you are getting 
some tatting in!! ;)

Correction to the previous post.....

Tatters heartbreak here.  I was questioned as to 
whether that was row 9 or not, and after careful 
checking I realized I messed up and tatted an extra 
row of chains, and then checked my stitch count on 
the row before and found out it was off.  So.....
I will be re-tatting row 9 after cutting off 2 rows.
I tell everyone I teach on Sundays that I am human 
and I prove it every day!!!!  ;)
Back to the shuttles between housework today!

Row 9 of 33 done

Still not very big, but that is the way it is with 
size 40 thread.  It's much prettier than what I 
thought it would be.  ;)  I hope that continues!!!
Next up, another color change.
Have a fabulous day with tatting!!! :)

Row # 6 of 33 and....the color change-don't freak!!!

This is Elaine P. Gan's Cathedral Doily.
I am using Lizbeth size 40 threads, and this
 one is Wildflower Garden.
The idea is that the following colors will have 
one color from the thread before it, this one has 
the lighter pinkish purple.
Happy tatting everyone!!! :)

Row 7 done now too!! :)
Unplanned, the colors lined themselves up!!

And.....Row 8 done and that's it for tonight!!
It's about 4 1/2 inches across now.
Have a fabulous Sunday everyone!!! :)

Test tatting the Cathedral Doily

Elaine P. Gan has designed this doily and graciously 
allowing us test tatters to test tat it for her.
So far it is working out beautifully!!!
This first picture is of the first 3 rows which I 
tatted yesterday.
 This second picture is with rows 4 & 5 tatted today.
I used size 40 Lizbeth Purple Splendor for these 5 
rows, but there is a color change starting in the next
 row.
Have a wonderful weekend blessed with tatting!!! :)
