One of the colors in my International Tatting Day bag was Lizbeth #109, Wild Flower. I think it makes beautiful button ornaments! The pattern is my December 1 Button Ornament. The shuttle is by Rita Richmond of Shuttle by Design. My tatting bag was a gift from my friend Denise. Thank you again, Denise!
This was a very enjoyable piece to tat. I used size 20 Ljiljan, and it measures about 5 1/2" across.
You can find Sue's Diamond Point Snowflake pattern here. I sure hope Sue designs some more snowflakes!
I worked on bookmarks at school today.
I managed to tat two.
I did very little tatting Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Instead, I spent time cleaning, cooking, and baking. It was a nice change of pace!
I've really enjoyed using my new shuttles. All of these are from Rita Richmond of Shuttle by Design. The amber shuttle with the lantern was a gift from my friend Sue Anna. She's as addicted to Rita's shuttles as I am!
The bookmark pattern is Curds & Whey from Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior. When I finish tatting the last two bookmarks, I'll count to see how many I was able to tat from one ball of Elisa thread. Do you have a guess as to how many bookmarks I've tatted from this ball of thread?
I over-tatted yesterday, so I really needed to take it easy today. Once I have the idea of how a round is tatted, I find it fairly easy to set it down to take break. So, today I tatted two pattern repeats of round 13 of Renulek's Spring 2021 doily. I think I'm done for the day!
