Sharing my stash

My sister brought Mom down to the farm yesterday, and after dinner we started talking about tatting. I pulled out my treasure box of completed pieces, and Mom and Janet chose their favorites.


I'm too lazy to get up and look for the pattern names, but I do know that Mom loves the "Stumpy" bookmark by Kersti Anear. It should come in handy when she's reading on her Kindle! ; )


The green and purple piece that Janet chose is my tribute to Myra Piper. The center is Myra's motif #12. I designed the green edging (my first and only attempt at designing). If you're interested in trying it out, the edging pattern can be found here. Sorry... you'll have to buy Myra's book to get the pattern for the center. Remember, as a librarian I've been injected with copyright law!

  2. I suspect the edging could be used on any similar center - so maybe stating the diameter and how many points would be helpful. I'm not sure Myra's books is easily available these days unless there was a recent reprint.

  3. One woman's stash is another woman's treasure. Those pieces are lovely!

    As for designing, you should climb back on that bucking bronco, lady! Your design is so pretty.

  10. Diane it's just too much fun letting friends and family pick from your tatted stash. Their excitement is just as fun as tatting the pieces.

    Sorry your Alpine Stella gave ya such hard time.
