After what seems like ages (certainly months), I finally got some uninterrupted time to tat. Blissful!!!
This is Robin Perfetti's Floral Edging pattern - http://tattingbythebay.blogspot.com/p/free-patterns.html
After much online browsing and even sketching out a couple of my own designs, I finally settled on this beautiful pattern.
So far, I've completed 6 repeats. Worked in Lizbeth size 80, it is 1/2 inch wide and 3" long.
This is for a handkerchief to gift, which is why I wanted something with minimum decorative picots. Makes maintenance easy.
I hope to embroider something in one corner. If not, perhaps some tatted motif.
Tomorrow Ruthie May and I will be starting Robin's Challenge Snowflake. Join us - more the merrier.
Time permitting, there are several other little patterns on my immediate list.
Distraction, with a capital D, is my First name obviously ;-D What's yours ?!

A lovely garden row! I hope you get time to finish it.
ReplyDeleteI am afraid we would share names. 😂 I still never made my Huguenot Cross, but have finished other projects instead.
Emily, some patterns just call for variegated threads, don't you think?!
DeleteI Have to finish it since it is a gift - just the push I need ;-P I do have more than a month to complete it, though.
Enjoy whatever you make :-D
That's so pretty! The fine variegated thread is perfect for the job. I look forward to seeing the completed hankie.
ReplyDeleteI am certainly enjoying tatting this, Jane 💕 Will I be able to embroider - that would Really make my day....miss it!
DeleteThat will be a gift to treasure! It's a splendid variegated thread. Beatiful array of colors. Sweet edging.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to work on the edging for the past several days - busy having fun test tatting another edging. Tomorrow I hope to continue with this, Anita :-)
DeleteLovely edging, what a beautiful gift!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed tatting it immensely, Nin 💖
