We're getting close to 500 members at
The Tatting Forums, and I decided that in celebration I'd tat up some stars! This one is my favorite from Kaye B. Judt's
Oh My Stars! This is a great little book, and it teaches some wonderful techniques in very simple motifs. I haven't mastered all of them, in fact I haven't tried all of them! I guess I'll have to see how many I can make out of what's left of my Juicy Watermelon. After that, I'll have to decide how I'll use my stars... decorate a denim bag, a t-shirt, a scarf, a quilt top? How would you use your stars?
Pattern: "Gemini" from

Five hundred! Wow - that's great!
ReplyDeleteI use Kaye's book a lot when I forget a technique, as she very explains a whole lot of them so simply, in such understandable language in this little gem of a book.
Fox : )
What a wonderful watermelon star!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIf I had extra five-sided stars, I would stitch them together to make a larger design. (It is something I have been wanting to do, but haven't yet been focused enough to make multiple five-sided motifs.)
ReplyDeleteYou're almost out of Juicy Watermelon thread?!? And summer is right around the corner...
