Immediately after finsihing my state fair project, I started a new doily on Wednesday.




August 20th




August 22nd


I'm using Flora/HH size 50 in medium buttercup. It's funny how motivated I am with this, compared to my state fair tatting project that took much longer than it should have.

ohh! how pretty! I never seem to tat in color- I think I need to pick up some bright and pretty thread now. You have inspired me :-)

ooo I like it! That would be beautiful on the front of a dress!

I tatted in white once, one of the first things I made, however many years ago that was.

On a tip from another tatter in a thread exchange I participated in a year ago, I purchased 2 spools of Perfect Quilter thread (Fall Leaves and Summer Sky, the latter being so pretty) and received them in the mail today. If you can afford it (the best deal I found was as sewthankful.com), they make some lovely, unique variegates. It looks like the thread is a size 50, maybe a hare smaller.

Oooo, that's going to be lovely! Are you using a pattern, or designing your own?

[ex-shattered767.livejournal.com]

I'm using a pattern. I don't have enough guts to try designing my own yet. ;)

[moniqueleigh]

I completely sympathize!! I've not designed my own yet, either. :)

So, which pattern?

It's one from Tatting Patterns and Designs.
