Have been  doing a bit of beading. At our tatting afternoon we did a workshop. Jane showed some of the moves and we had to do the rest. Not bad for the first attempt. Sorry pictures a bit funny but its very sparkly. 

HALLOWEEN

Well Halloween party over,took my friend FRED, I did  enjoy creating him and his home.Used him on my hat. He has wire in his legs to make him stand up. Just a pity i could not drink, I was on call at work.

WEDDING DRESS

Vibrant Kate found a novel way to display her wedding dress by sitting on the display table and tatting.Note the tatted hem. She is a member of Charnwood Tatters who held there tatting day on October 15th . Tatting and Design supply team Mike and Lynn were there to take are money of us with there wonderful threads. David Pepper was selling wonderful wooden boxes and bowls with tatting in the lids. Everyone had a great time Chatting and Tatting.

QUILTS WITH TATTING

On Saturday it will be Charnwood Tatting Day every year members do a project for display. This year we decided to make lap quilts one member supplied the squares and stitched the motifs on. I made them up into the quilts. What do you think? lots of lovely tatting. The weather forecasters predict lots of snow so two lucky old people are going to enjoy these.

Well here's the other tatting i was talking about. It is meant to be tatted in one colour but with the shoe lace trick i did it in two colours. Altin Basak 50 was the thread and the patternis by Teiko Fujitofrom her book Tatted Artistry. I did it for the display at Charnwood Tat day on 16 October.  Love this book many beautiful patterns. 

BO PEEP

Bo Peep by Mary Konior worked in lizbeth size 40. Each repeat takes 30mins, 40repeats =20hrs, corners take 1hour, 4 corners= 4hrs, pinning out 2hrs, sewing onto hankie1 1/2, total time =27hrs. I have made this for a friend who is going to be mother of the groom early next year.

Will have another bit to show tomorrow, but may get delayed as weather is fantastic so hubby is taking me to the zoo tomorrow.

ARCHES

This is what i have tatted over the last week. I love the colors it's Lizbeth size 20. The pattern is called ARCHES by Marilee Rockley. My Arches arn't as good as hers.While tating it was very twisted but pining out sorted it.
 I'm also tatting a hankie edging just one corner and 6 repeats to go.
 At charnwood tatting today we had a workshop on some bead work what a fiddly thing it is, if and when i Finnish will give you a look.
Well it's Saturday eve and nothing on TV so will have to start a new pattern from TATTED ARTISTRY a book I've just got back after several months.
