Think Pink

... and tat another border!
This is ‘Marguerite’ by Mary Konior. 

A big thank you to Denise,
who sent me this lovely pink handkerchief!

#35       HDT: Sherry’s ‘Picadilly’ HDT #50!

It is a simple border, but one I like very much.  By the way, my daughter-in-law claimed the last one I tatted - the blue one, here.  I was delighted she liked it enough to lay claim!  : ))

Thank you for all the wonderful comments and supportive wishes for my mom’s recovery.  She is still in the hospital and pretty sick, but will hopefully soon be home and well enough to carry on her very independent lifestyle.

Tatting for the Nurse

My mom is in the hospital so I have had little time to tat.  But I did manage some and as I was tatting away, mom’s nurse took a real interest in what I was doing as she has also tatted in her life as does her mom and sister!  Her sister also does bobbin lacework.  So we had a great talk and she was pleased when I offered to give her to one of my giveaway motifs! Yesss!

All this was good for the spirits.  Here is what I got done over the last few days.  It did not turn out as I had anticipated as the instructions are not clear and I misread the photo in the Priscilla Book #2.

#34     From Priscila Book #2   #40 Lizbeth thread

The edging has yet to be attached to the hankie. 

 It will have to wait till I have time.

P.S.  The pattern is from TATTING PATTERNS by Julia E. Sanders, which is basically the same as the Priscilla book, or so I understand!

Down To The Last Drop

Just made it!  

This is what is left of Sherry’s ‘Picadilly’ HDT #50!

Now adding the second border to attach the edging to:

Done with the hankies for a LONG while!  

I’ve had my fill - unless I find a really pretty one!  : 0

A Motif Overlooked

Forgot about this.  It is a sweet little Mary Konior pattern from one of her older books.

I had a bit of thread left over.  Krystle had sent a little sample of this #80 HDT, which does not photograph very well.  It is a lovely, rich blend of deep purple and greens.

Ah, I hope the dear Dr. is busy, down in the basement over at Krystle’s castle... Get those dye-pots bubbling!

#33/100     Anniversary Motif by Mary Konior

There is a new project on my shuttles, but it is not the one that I had planned.  I was going to tat an Iris Niebach border, but it would have taken too much thread and was VERY time-consuming. Too hot to do a time-gobbling border, I say.

Below is the pattern I am NOT going to do:

It is so pretty, but will use up the thread before I finish, which I am already running out of it after one side!

This HDT is ‘Picadilly’ by LadyShuttleMaker, #50.
