Two Firsts!

Can you believe it?  This is my first attempt at Iris Niebach's, "Fiordaliso!"  Plus, this is the first time I have ever tatted it!  I am speechless - for once....

  7. Iris's designs are so extraordinary, and you have tatted this with perfection!

    l hope Iris is OK, as I don't believe I've seen any new posts on her blog for awhile. I hope she sees this, though!

  8. very nice Fox, I find her patterns challenging, but also unique in that most if not all her doilys and motifs work in and out instead of round and round. I find that I do more un-tatting with her patterns, then I normally do.

  9. That is beautiful. After seeing your edging, I'm adding that book to my wish list.

  13. You cannot imagine, what a big pleasure it is always for me to see one of my patterns realized. You did a wonderful job, thank you so much.
    For those who think I'm disapeared, I'm busy working on the new book with the boxes and can't show the patterns.
