Hi,There was a request to put a piece of tatting on the blogs today in tribute to Gina (The Tatting Goddess) who died last Monday.
Well here is my piece, its the first time I have done this pattern, it strange the first piece never looks its best and its a long time since I did netting.
The pattern is one of Gina's Netted Hearts, its not my best piece of tatting and it needs blocking but at the moment I am suffering from a bug and was sent into hospital last Sunday night for a few hours, whatever the bug is its really taken its toll on me so please excuse my tatting. I wanted to do a piece in honor of Gina. I never meet her and I only found her blog last year but she gave a lot of inspiration to every tatter around the world.
My thoughts are with her family at this sad time.
Here is a link to her blog
May you rest in peace and tat with the angels, and if they can't tat I am sure she will teach them. Margaret
What a lovely thing to do in memory of Gina, your piece looks great to me, hope you soon feel better

Dear Margaret,
ReplyDeleteDo rest and get better soon. Your netted heart is pretty. The colour you chose is so soothing. I must try this pattern soon.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and tatting in tribute to Gina Brummett, especially since you've been down with a bug yourself. Please feel better as soon as you can.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better soon, Margaret. Gian had a box of beetles all ready to send but I decided to write a note instead...
ReplyDeleteSo glad you posted a pic of Gina's netted heart. I had forgotten that I had this little piece - the only pattern of hers that I have tatted!
When i saw yours, I immediately pulled out my box of saved tatting and there it was. This is one I shall keep. ( The Boss gets a lot of old ones for her "artwork".) Thank you.
Take good care,
Fox : )
