From Kristen in Russia,
a virtual cornucopia arrived yesterday in my mailbox:
And then, another package from a good friend:

That Russian book is one my Grandfather could have translated for me. Luckily, there are loads of diagrams, so I shall thoroughly enjoy it though I cannot read a word. Plus I have the perfect purple for a border for the hanky. I shall pick a border from the book.
The shuttle is a covered with the tartan of my son-in-law’s family. Unfortunately in the photo you cannot see the slight pinkish cast. It is so pretty.
Ah, I am lucky indeed to have such wonderful tatting friends. Thank you both very much.
Remaining on topic here, I‘ll use the opportunity to post a photo of a tatted gift I received ages ago from Umintsuru, a case for a shuttle that she tatted with a billion beads.
Every so often I take this out and just look at it. Wendy is an amazing tatter. See for yourself:

DeleteLovely gifts! I've been tempted to order a Russian book, mainly because I'm fascinated with Russian history. I've also been tempted by tartan shuttles. I really need to look up which one would have been worn by my ancestors.
