This post has been Years in the waiting! Every few months I push it to the front and then something else elbows it out. Part of the reason is that I needed to find my own notes and observations and choose from a plethora of in-progress pics. Now there is a spike in interest (of which I will tell you more in another post) and I had to keep my elbows in check and keep my fingers flying on the keyboard so that the story can continue.
This is about a hybrid threadwork pattern from my tatting buddy, Anita Barry, where she tatted the body of a cat, sewed it to a purse, and embroidered the details! And she graciously permitted me to share her pattern which has meticulously laid out details. Thankfully I had saved some of our correspondence and am going to let her exuberant voice take over ....
Tell peeps to have fun creating this project."
I didn't want to interrupt the flow of her story with my own text. As you can see, the images are self-explanatory and show you most of the process. Other details are in the PDF.
I will share my own tatted version in another post.
And this same pattern led to another mini-pattern which is travelling the world! Stay tuned!
