Design: Jan Stawasz #2/100 #20 Lizbeth
Love this design. Great for taking needed breaks from the little motifs I am tatting for the Snowflake Napkin. Only 4 left to tat! (Home with a bad cold so lots of sitting and tatting with yucky tea.)
These two colours are the remaining Lizbeth #20s that I have in my stash. I just could not part with them, though there have been knots... Finally, I found this pattern which is perfect for the palette.
I notice how much easier it is to see, and quite frankly to tat, using the #20. I still prefer the #40, as it doesn't feel so much like rope, but still this was a pleasant change.
This morning I found a package in the mail - Ladytats sent me WAY more than she was supposed to. We exchanged some thread and I was expecting two shades of Lizbeth.
Instead I now have enough thread to last me all year - and then some. Thank you, Ladytats, for your generosity. I am enamoured with the thread from your Grandmother's stash.
NOW,
The thing about synchronicity: Gian bounced his ball into my threads today as I was looking at the colours and look at this:

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
One more thing:
Jess had the most marvellous pun yesterday on her blog. She said:
"However, I don't wear belts, so..... that would be a waist. "
The J Stawasz motif is perfect in these colours!
ReplyDeleteHaha, so there you go, have fun with the threads from Ladytats! I'm sure your cold will go away soon. :)
Love that motif!!! :) And fabulous tatting!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the colors you are choosing to use for the Jan Stawasz motifs. they are very eye catching, and very pretty together.
ReplyDeleteGian knows a good thing when he sees it.
you are welcome for the threads.
That's so pretty, a great colour combination.
ReplyDeleteHi Fox
ReplyDeleteBeautiful motif and lovely in those colours,
Lovely thread I wonder what you will do with them, They look gorgeous .
I had to laugh, was he asking for a ball of thread by replacing his ball with one of ours.
Love to Gian
Hugs Margaret
He is a source of constant entertainment, is Gian. Have a good weekend, Margaret.

I always love pink and green together and this motif particularly suits the colours - very pretty indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Frivole. I love this combo too. Always have.

Pretty color combination! I've been feeling a bit ropy myself lately, but that's what I need for my snowflakes... until I figure out patterns that work with 40 or 80 and my little doodads. I need some serious time off to accomplish that!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your "new" thread. The best part of tatting with new thread is finding a matching shuttle! ;-)
I have used #40 with ALL your doodads! No problemo! Have you tried it instead of the #20 - I don't remember the sizes on all your lovely snowflakes...
DeleteMatching shuttles? Dod someone mention matching shuttles???
Fox : ))
I like the pink and green together!
ReplyDeleteHow nice to find such a surprise in the mail. Enjoy, and get better soon.
I do make the attempt to get into darker, more dramatic tones, but have loved that combo forever!
DeleteFox : )
Waist, that is too funny!
ReplyDeleteThat Jess! So incorrigible!
Does Gian's toy mean you will be adding green to the mix??
Lovely thread! I love the pink and ecru!
