All the way from Australia.
Some colour to brighten up the way-below zero temperatures.
She knew my stash was low and decided to send me this:
Thank you Liyarra!
Wendy and I are tatting up another challenge.
While taking a break, I decided to look in here:
I tatted one of the motifs and then could not find it. Looked for ages and
when I reached for my empty coffee cup to take to the sink...
How do these things happen?
After the wash...
There is a major mistake, so I can’t use this one.
However, I want to tat 4, for a large square. I used #40 Lizbeth.
Tatting the Iris Niebach patterns has helped me a lot. I could not tat anything in this book last year and found all the patterns too confusing. This does not seem to be the case now, as I understood everything in this one and have looked through the book and nothing looks terribly complicated anymore!
I think tatting Iris doilies is an excellent learning device for intermediate tatter. My humble opinion. Thank you Iris!
II have this book but have not tatted anything from it, :( I will be following your posts on this.
ReplyDeleteI have committed myself to some major project, this could be something to un-wind wind when I get stuck with that.
Jon, this is a terrific book for tatting either one of the four parts to a square or a couple as a strip or the full four or more. Small but challenging squares are not too ig a project if one understands the first square. : )
DeleteHmmmm . . . . your coffee must have tasted extra good. I laughed so loud, it woke Tsuru up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful friend!
ReplyDeleteHe He on finding your motif. Looks like it washed up very nicely.
Yes, Iris can help you progress is reading patterns.
Not much of a mistake, because I can't see it!
ReplyDeleteGreat motif!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOops, thank goodness you found the square! Your coffee cup (or coffee) was the saver! :)
ReplyDeleteMost welcome Fox. Should be enough to do a small motif in each sample.
ReplyDeleteSome are a bit brittle/delicate but fun to try...
As for the book......oh wow! I have a copy but have not tried anything out of it yet...looking forward to seeing what you come up with!!!!
Thanks, Tatters! Great comments.
ReplyDeleteFox : )
Once you've mastered Iris, everything else seems simpler!
ReplyDeleteHi Fox
ReplyDeleteLovely little motif, did it improve the taste of the coffee? I don't have this book, I think I must put it on my wish list.
Nice little present, I look forward to seeing what you do with them.
Love to Gian.

Hmm, I like tatted squares, with tea or coffee. I'll look around for that book!
ReplyDeleteI can't see your mistake... but look forward to seeing the finished result. :)
ReplyDeleteYummy coffee! I should try it soon!! but perhaps with italian coffee it'd had been taken out a little darker, maybe only a little...
ReplyDeleteA little ? Haaaaa! : ))
