Today was a total tatting day. I haven't had one of those in quite a while!
I'm on a roll with Laura Blanton's Coronavirus Button Cross.
And, it feels good to be tatting Ice Drops again.
I enjoyed the first cross so much, I decided to tat another.
The same thing happened with the Ice Drop. Mom asked what I'll be doing with these. I have a feeling they'll end up as Christmas presents!
Both crosses and Ice Drops are fabulous!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pretty green!!! ;)
Thanks, Sue!
DeleteOh yes, Christmas on the horizon, you’ll be all set with homes for these. Question for the librarian, can the button cross be used as a bookmark? Is it ok to close a button in a book?
ReplyDeleteI would not use it as a bookmark because of the thickness of the button and the thickness of the thread. I'm actually not really fond of size 20 thread for bookmarks. I prefer size 80. However, I've given away many bookmarks tatted in size 20 and the recipients have loved them. I guess it all depends on how fussy you are about your books!
DeleteAh, thanks. I’ve used bookmarks in size 20, but I don’t think I’d put a button in a book.
DeleteYou do love to 'tat on the roll' don't you, Diane? Must admit I'm the same. Once I find something I really want to make I have to make, make, make!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! It makes it so much easier to keep tatting! I can spend time staring at patterns, but I'd much rather play with my shuttles and thread!
