He seems facinated by tatting and wants me to tat large pieces to display around the house so he can see them regularly.<br />I think you piece would go well on some kind of little girls dress or hat or something in pastels of similar shades. :)God's Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14235608410243857253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-84038679370383661672010-09-11T10:26:19.158-04:002010-09-11T10:26:19.158-04:00Oh, I'm sorry you've been so frustrated.

It is a beautiful motif and I like the choices you made about how to add the beads.<br /><br />You've chosen my own solution to tatting frustration--do something really easy for a while.

Then I always know where the front back and beginning of the piece are.<br />I believe I got the idea from Sherry P. LadyShuttleMaker.<br />If the piece is large or twisty I use more than one marker.conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415924565685485107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-90386723905257194892010-09-11T01:39:33.423-04:002010-09-11T01:39:33.423-04:00It looks nice as it is, the two pastel shades go w...It looks nice as it is, the two pastel shades go well together...Tattipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181403936684825048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-16814060798775139852010-09-10T22:55:27.822-04:002010-09-10T22:55:27.822-04:00I've tatted it at some point but I don't g...I've tatted it at some point but I don't generally do directional tatting. Lovely thread color. Situations like this are the only times I wish tatting was like knitting or crochet - when you can pull a thread and reclaim it.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127914310809216760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-74027016928647514972010-09-10T22:20:36.735-04:002010-09-10T22:20:36.735-04:00Hi, Linda,
