#24 Motif Challenge
The hankie turned out to be smaller than the standard ones and is lopsided to boot. Was a bit of a challenge to sew on the edging and it's linen, so the weave is more open than cotton and all the sewing shows more easily. But, it is done, and I think pretty. Phew!
WOO-HOOOO!!!!
ReplyDeletevery very nice
ReplyDeleteYummy!
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely and if it is actually used, it's usually folded/bunched in a pocket so that the lace edging is what shows anyway.
ReplyDeleteOoo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is for your sister, is it not? She's quite lucky....
Lovely !
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks great! :)
ReplyDeleteThe lace looks great! You actually did this fairly quickly, considering all the other things you were working on, and your frustrations and re-tatting.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful edging for a handkerchief, and I love how you added the beads Also, I was introduced to Frivole's blog through your post of April 4 (and she's on your blog roll), and was delighted to see her work and her other patterns. This 'Iris" pattern includes the corners, which is so helpful.
I'm sure your niece will love this handkerchief!
Vraiment très joli et la couleur superbe!!!!
ReplyDeleteFélicitations!!!!
Good job! Maybe one day you will even start to like making edgings....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Being lopsided wouldn't bother me at all. It's the love and effort that went into it that counts!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty...have enjoyed watching this in progress and seeing it completed, well it's just really lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely and frothy! - just the way lace should be! Congratulations, you're SO good at these hankies, I'm almost sorry that you are now taking a break from them. They may be boring to tat, but the end result is always stunning and worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteThank You, All, for your generous praise and for your ongoing support.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, if it were not for this tat-ology, I do not think I would get so much tatting completed. The comments are always such a great boost to the spirit.
Maureen, I particularly like "frothy!!"
Kathy, I am so glad you found Frivole! I love her site!

Good for you!! I wonder what your next project will be!?!
ReplyDeleteIl tuo è un bellissimo sito.Mi dispiace però non trovare mai lo schema dei tuoi lavori.
ReplyDeleteDeliziosa la trina di questo fazzoletto
This is wonderful! I love that edging, with the white contrasts. Seems as though all of your hard work has payed off! (:
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful :) Nice work!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and dainty.
ReplyDeleteHi Fox,
ReplyDeleteIt maybe lopsided but it looks lovely and very pretty colour.
Have a nice Easter.

Fox, la puntilla rosada del pañuelo, exquisita, romántica, hermosa. El patrón del motivo # 25, tejido en color lavanda me parece complejo aún sin granos y te quedo precioso. Y yo entiendo cuando no me gusta una cosa, aunque todos digan es bonito yo no estoy feliz; lo vuelvo a hacer.
