Ever have one of those weeks where you get distracted and
just enjoy life? It’s been a good week. I’ve finished a couple of pieces that
will be sewn onto my apron. First, from Handy Hands website: http://www.hhtatting.com/free-lace-fan-quilt.cfm
Thank you for sharing this with us!

Then, a redo of a pattern I have attempted before. The first
time was a disaster. I really like pansy and violet flowers, so I attempted it
a second time. It was better, but nothin’ to write home about. After another
year of working on techniques, I finally mastered the basics enough to do a
better job. The pattern is
from a Priscilla book on the Antique Library page Georgia maintains: here
look on page 18. I encourage you to look for a great tutorial made by Marilee
Rockley craftsy.com class
and study Sarah Danks rewrite that she shared with the OnLine tatting class: Sarah Danks rewrite
Of course after I worked on the flower a day or so, I looked at the cat and
said aloud, “I have to diagram this or I will lose my sanity.” I’m no artist,
so you’ll have to wait until I can get one made on the computer to see what I
came up with.
Now to sew these on the apron and pack the bag for the
morning class and afternoon demonstration tomorrow.
