Accomplishing Annamaria


I did it.

This is Iris Nieback’s pattern.

You KNOW what these patterns are like.

This was my first crack at it.

Just a little un-tatting.

I am thrilled!

I have to say that I have been watching Umintsuru’s success with the Iris patterns. She has been the inspiration I needed to FINALLY have some success with a pattern from the booklet of Niebach patterns: Tatted Doilies. Thanks Wendy!

p.s. Olympus #40 thread. Isn’t this a wonderful turquoise?

  1. This is lovely to look at! So many interesting elements creating a unique design. Look at those cool picots and those tiny rings. I'm always amazed how Iris designs patterns in one pass.

  3. Well, we inspire each other. My colorful doily was inspired by you but I do prefer your colour choices though. Now, I have to tat Annamaria as it looks so pretty. Well done!

  5. I am so happy to read all these kind words for I am very proud of this one. I have never had much luck with Iris patterns - they get finished, but they always have looked a little ... well... lumpy and sad to me. : )) This one makes me smile!

  7. My heartiest congratulations! I have looked at Iris's patterns and thought them very pretty but very complicated. So I've never tried any of them. Turned out beautifully.

    We all inspire each other, and that's what I like in the tatting international community.

    1. Me too Margaret. It is an amazingly supportive community. This blog and indeed my tatting would not exist without Tat-Land and tatters like you.

  10. Pretty, pretty! You know, I never thought your previous attempts at Iris Niebach patterns looked lumpy or sad, but I an delighted that your latest motif inspires happiness -- because your tatting always inspires happiness in me!
