 Continuing from my last post (https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2023/05/giftme-roundup-1.html) this is the final batch of models tatted for the March game - Gift Me (#giftmeEndrucks) in our FB group. Patterns are compiled in the Basket/Bowl/Bag Directory - (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v2hfFk2Nhg3ZpqUSW9vRCV_0AmQYp4qOx7gs3uJEr-g/view) and all patterns are derived from Endrucks' 1920 book 'Die Schiffchen-Spitzen’ which was presented in modern format in the Endrucks 1920 Project - (https://docs.google.com/document/d/17LEVftXweztBIOWh4sL4BB7bX65ssoOsOn4oXIgCepY/view)

E17 - 3D Egg Shell.

E17 - 3D Egg Shell.- one half. 

This could well be a mini bowl!

E31 - Lacy Bowl (partial)

This is what she said - "My bowl did not work well as I chose the wrong thread. It is cotton embroidery thread and is so difficult to tatt. I like the colors though.
I did not complete the whole pattern.

It goes well with little chicks. Perhaps I make it as a pin cushion cover.
I enjoyed the pattern and will do it again."

15. Anna Tedesco -

E17 - 3D Egg Shell

As always, Anna tatted more than just one! She is a 'Faster Tatter'!

E31 - Lacy Basket "for a little chick" with a slightly modified handle.

E3- Chocolate/Fruit Basket embellished with colourful tatted flowers

E1- Happy Hands butterfly

As you can see in the roundups, most participants tatted more than one beautiful model and also played at creatively displaying their work. Most of them have also participated in several of our games and continue to do so. It is what gives us extra energy to think up new ideas for each game of the month.

We would also like to extend a special thanks to Brookie, Daniela, Krystyna, and Paola Bevilacqua for taking the time and effort to share their derivative patterns in time for the game! 

A huge thanks and hugs from 

Ninetta and muskaan

Many many thanks to all our talented participants and designers!

Our game of the month for February was to pick and tat motifs from a collected assortment commemorating spring. These included hearts (it was Feb after all), flowers, butterflies, and foliage, all derived from Endrucks' patterns. We created categorised Directories for each to make patterns and ideas easy to access (more about the Directories and links after I finish the roundup). I have been posting my own choices with some background.  

Actually the motifs could be used as standalone, or could be gathered together for the March game of the month .... more about that later. Since links to the directories will be shared eventually, I am not sharing any direct pdf links, only the models tatted by our lovely members. Let the suspense build up a bit before I lead you to the respective patterns.
