They remind me of the time lovingly (and sometimes not so lovingly) spent making them. But mostly it leaves and hopefully gives pleasure to others. <br />Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274345764787048662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-56810624019648457032016-05-08T08:46:22.989-04:002016-05-08T08:46:22.989-04:00How nice to meet an old friend and share some time...How nice to meet an old friend and share some time together, I am so glad she is having your piece and I am sure she will treasure the piece knowing it was handmade by you.<br />Your latest piece is looking lovely, well done on your experiment <br />Love to Mr G<br />MargaretMargarets designer cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649752567816134409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-69363599553573297942016-05-08T05:02:42.527-04:002016-05-08T05:02:42.527-04:00I've been reading this discussion with interes...I've been reading this discussion with interest, trying to decide where my own ideas fit; I think it is because tatting is essentially a decorative, "useless" craft that we cannot apply the usual parameters and criteria to the doing of it. I knit a jumper for my son because he is cold in Canberra and needs it, but no-one actually needs a doily! I've always thought of the time I spend tatting as doing a jigsaw puzzle in thread - so satisfying when it all works out! But I do keep most of my pieces, apart from the items I make for specific gifts. Bookmarks for the kids,a decorated candle for my youngest granddaughter's Baptism last week and now a butterfly to enclose in a birthday card for my cousin.And I loved working on the special commission I received from a granddaughter - she wanted a little doily for a special ornament in Tiffany blue!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-59738804484471247552016-05-08T01:46:41.449-04:002016-05-08T01:46:41.449-04:00What fun to meet up with a friend and bonus to fin...What fun to meet up with a friend and bonus to find a home for that lovely piece. Yes, I sometimes hesitate to go tatting seeing as I don't really need or want the finished work. But I go on because I love the process.

And being so much more about process than product, I can tat the same pattern multiple times only if I change things up frequently--different thread size or color, adding embellishments, changing design elements, etc. Most of the tatting I've kept are from gifts and exchanges, or they are original pieces I may need for finally putting a pattern together. I pull them out for the Christmas tree and for demonstrations.Eliz Davis aka Tatknothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13560518278370416698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-65173050917695244492016-05-07T16:06:12.784-04:002016-05-07T16:06:12.784-04:00Sounds like me - it's all in the tatting.

If someone tats something and gives it to me, I treasure it, but in the case of my own tatting, I lose interest in the piece once it is finished.<br />StephanieWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-19008347704435009522016-05-07T12:28:36.816-04:002016-05-07T12:28:36.816-04:00Ah, that's me too - love the making but not in...Ah, that's me too - love the making but not interested when a piece is finished. Make, make, make is what it's all about and that applies to everything I do.
