Triangle hexagon

I love the way this is turning out! I may have to get more thread if there is any chance I want to make it bigger(and of course there is a BIG chance I want it bigger!). It is really amazing me what I will be able to do with this pattern. As I tat I keep seeing all kinds of neat stuff(which you may see in the future).

Below is a size comparison incase you decide to try it. This is Mary Konior's Spinning Wheel Glass Mat done in Lizbeth Royal Wave size 20 next to 24 triangles all connected from the DMC Library Tatting from the antique pattern library. It's PLATE IV. #23 done in Heather's(The Tarnished Tatter) HDT Harvest Time size 30. I love the autumn look and would love something quite large done in it(this may end up large if I have my way).

I may not be posting before the 2nd week of Nov. I will be busy on ministry weekends(this weekend and next) and there won't be much tatting time.
Have a great couple of weeks! :)

Something slightly modified

I wanted to make something for a friend who plays a guitar and with all the beautiful dangles I have seen by the online tatters I thought I would try something. It's actually Jon Yusoff's Melati(without beads) modified by putting a cross in the center instead of a 6 ring motif.

It's not perfect, but I believe she will like it a lot. Now I just have to make a way to hang it, but that is going to wait till tomorrow(it's has to be finished by Wed.). :)

10th Round done on Agasunset's tablecloth

So pleased...ok...time for a break from this since I won't be able to work on it for the next 2 weekends while I am away on ministry work. It is now just over 15 inches across.

12 Triangles makes a star....so far :)

I kept working on this last night and got this far.

Then today I did this.... 12 small triangles makes a star. :)
And in Heather's Harvest Time it's an autumn star. :)


Hoping there is enough thread to keep it growing. It's about 3 inches from top point to bottom point.

25 #2 Motif # 15 Diamond Triangles

I received this beautiful thread from Heather(The Tarnished Tatter). It's her HDT Harvest Time size 30. I really wanted something that would show off the beauty in the colors so I tatted this antique pattern. It's from the DMC Library Tatting from the antique pattern library. It's PLATE IV. #23. They have it in triangles, but I joined the triangles closely so that I could see as much color together as possible. I am hoping to join more and make a small doily.

Round 9 done

Still working on Agasunset's tablecloth. Round 9 now completed. It is about 14 1/2 inches across. On to round 10. I can't wait to see the finished project!

Here is a comparison for someone like me who is still new to tatting and has no clue the difference between a Clover shuttle and a Tatsy. It's a learning experience to work with such a large shuttle and without the pointed end, but I like not having to re-wind the shuttle so often with this larger thread and project.

After a bad afternoon....

It's great to find "goodies" in the mail!!!
The top section is the 2 Tatsy shuttles I got to order this week to hopefully help with tatting Agasunset's tablecloth without having to wind the shuttle quite so often. And they came with a tatted angel Christmas card, a few patterns and instructions.
The bottom front is from Heather The Tarnished Tatter. It's her 3 Hole Heart shuttles and some of her beautiful Harvest Time HDT.

My night is much brighter!!! :)
