New Blog for Tatting

I decided to create this blog for Needle Tatting. I'm attempting to put all the tatting posts from When This You See, Remember Me over here, but that isn't as simple as it may sound!

Most of my tatting is done with either DMC 80 or Finca Pearl 12 or 16.

It is my desire to keep better track and post along with my tatting the source of patterns. Someone asked me about one, and I knew what the pattern looked like, but couldn't locate the source. I realize the creator should have credit for their work, and I've been remiss in always referencing them. I do apologize.

Angel


Today I tatted Martha Ess' version of Birgit Phelps' Simple Angel. Isn't she lovely? 17

Onion Rings

I've been trying to get the onion ring technique using Georgia Seitz instructions for shuttle tatting. I think I'm getting closer, but not exactly...

Owls

I found the pattern for these in the Tatting Collage book by Lindsay Rogers. 16

Spiders and Flower

These are doodles of a multi chain flower and experimenting with tatting spiders - CQ you know! 15

More Morning Glories

Using the design by Nell Corns "Morning Blossoms" I tatted another set of my Morning Glories. 14

Palmetto Tree

As a 'member' of the Palmetto Tatters Guild, I had to try the Palmetto Tree motif. The fronds could be a little longer, but it looks pretty good to me. Used Finca 16.

Button

This little button motif was a mistake, but it is cute to me. DMC 80

Swan

This is a swan pattern by Lindsay Rogers. It took a while to get it going in the right direction, but she turned out pretty well! Swans are such beautiful birds, and when I come across a pattern I must give it a try! This is done with DMC size 80.

Morning Glories

I think this is a pretty motif. The pattern was named something different, but it so reminded me of morning glories. DMC 80 and Finca 16

It has been so spring like these past few days, I've been working outside when the chance was there. Guess that made we want to do spring inside as well. I found this design by Nell Corns of "Morning Blossoms" that were so pretty I couldn't resist giving them a try. 10
