I do love tatting Spinning Wheels in multi-colored and variegated threads! I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love seeing how the colors swirl around in this pretty pattern from Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior.
The next week and a half will be very busy. My summer tatting students are coming today. Friday I plan to go to Stitches Midwest with my daughter and granddaughter. Tuesday will be our next Tollway Tatters meeting. Next Wednesday will be the last meeting of my summer tatting class. Then, it will be back to school on the 18th. Time flies when you're having fun!
I had fun playing with color yesterday. I really like the way the bag turned out, and I was thrilled to find an orange button in my stash. It seemed like the perfect focal point!
Perfect button. Great little bag.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly keep busy! Back to school so soon? Gads! Where has the summer gone! We are nearing Autumn at too fast a pace! : )
The spinning wheel mat is perfect! I hope it's a good portent, seeing as you're going to look at spinnng wheels. Phew, you'll have to go back to school for a rest.
ReplyDeleteI love your spinning wheels, I never tire of looking at them I think you could make one of those books with them to flip through on your coffee table. And I am loving those bags too! Our school starts on the 11th here.
ReplyDeleteAll of your spinning wheel mats are pretty, and that bag is absolutely fiber art! You really have a tight schedule, but it all sounds like lots of fun. See you on Tuesday at Tollway Tatters!
ReplyDeleteBusy - Busy - Busy! Lovely tatting and adorable bag. Have you counted them to see how many you were able to make?
ReplyDeleteTuesday it is!
Me, too! Can't get enough of your spinning wheels. I love them in two colors.
ReplyDeleteYour Little bag looks great with the orange button. ;)
Love that little bag, and the button works perfectly. Sounds like a busy week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you plan to 'sew' all your spinning mats together? I think it would make an interesting tablecloth or wall covering. Maybe it's this current color combination, but I could see several of these with some neutral color in between joining them. Your bags are intriguing too. Are they gifts for your tatting students at the end of the summer sessions?
ReplyDeleteLovely spinning wheel. Although it's true that variegated threads don't work with every pattern, you have shown many times over that they are very well suited to the spinning wheel!
ReplyDeleteSumming up Summer with your fun tatting activities sounds just right to me. Lovely spinning wheel in the variegated greens. Summer Bliss Dear...
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your spinning wheels too. I also love to make them. I just can't find a market for them. I enjoy the weaved bags too.
