The First Place prize for the IOLI 2024 Convention Lace Contest Original Design was awarded to Barbara Hevener for her Opera Bag. The picture above is of the cover of the Fall 2024 Bulletin. This issue highlights all the Prizewinning Lace. Mrs. Hevener’s design includes this fabulous tatted goodie.
I really like the way she uses different sized split rings. Her pattern is clearly written out, not too complicated, and one of those that starts out a long line of rings and ends up a nicely shaped object. Just plain fun!! Thank you IOLI and Barbara Hevener for inspiring and sharing with us all!
Very clever. Well done to Barbara Hevener.
ReplyDeleteThe winning pieces are all stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe person who did the Popular Choice one is in my IOLI group. She talked about her work at our Saturday meeting.
ReplyDeleteDid you notice the Red Violin is tatted too?
I did notice! I think it's an excellent piece. Do you know if the pattern will be made available?
DeleteI’m going to brag here. I’ve actually SEEN Barbara’s Opera Bag close up and there’s only one word to describe it. Exquisite. Her work is amazing and the design is perfect. Thanks for showing it on your blog, picotsnkeys.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you bragged! I still am smiling after tatting it a second time.
DeleteGreat choices and love the motif! And how wonderful to have two tatted lace winners. Stunning entries!
ReplyDeleteI did a double take when I saw the cover. I say "tatting has arrived and no longer apologizing."
