I will never use all the Perfect Quilter I so cavalierly ordered. Not in this lifetime. Never.
So, I would like to exchange some of it for Lizbeth #40 or #80 or another comparable thread.
Here are the colours I am interested in swapping. This is also posted on InTatters.
My grandmother and other antique hankies I have purchased tatted directly on the hankie, and I have done 2 this way(using a very fine crochet hook to attach). With the scallops where they dip down you might try to add a small ring and then chain at the tops to even up to a straight line. At the same time add the edging you made and gather slightly on corners to go around. hopefully this made sense. But I'll understand if this sounds too confusing to do. I do lov
ReplyDeleteooops I typed too much! I love all of your work and book look fun too you tat very well!
ReplyDeleteThat square motif is gorgeous in that thread! Good luck with the swap, I hope it works!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. Shame you don't need any more inventory (Or DO you?) I'm going back to Colorado and there are still a gazillion hankies left in that antique store. If anyone else is interested please let me know.
ReplyDeleteHi, Connie!
DeleteThanks!
Would you like one of the remaining spools? I owe you at least one!
Number 7, please.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry I have already unloaded #7. Is there another colour you would like?
Deletebeautiful tatting Fox. I really like the square motif.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your swaps, I have very little Lizbeth in 40 and none in 80. The majority of my 40 is HDT. and you know what my 80 is. If you would like some more of the 80 out of my stash, let me know. Oh by the way, I do have some size 50 if you are interested.
Thanks, Ladytats. I like that patten too. A lot. : )
ReplyDeleteI sent you an email just now...
And to think that I probably have enough thread to open a shop! I'm sure that when I retire and am on a limited budget, I will be very happy to have my stash! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe are opposites, you and I. Too much stresses me out! I get anxious. : ))
