Hi,
Today I thought I would show you some of my holiday tatting, I have already shown you Diane's Doodad challenge which I tatted on holiday, so this is the rest, above is a selection of snowflakes and angels which I asked to tat for the Nursing Home Mother lives in, They saw my snowflakes on my table at the summer fair and they asked for a selection for their christmas decorations. They are from Anna magazine December 1991, there are three SSSR angels by Anne Bruvold link. and also three 3-Dimensional Angels by Katie Johnson which I did when I came home here is the link which I have adapted the pattern to stand rather than glue the skirt to the body which I don't like, so by adding two picots to the body I can attached the skirt. All were tatted in Lizbeth No 20 white.
To find the pattern link I used Lizbeth no 20 Summer Fun.
This finishes my holiday postings. I hope you have enjoyed them.
Until we meet again take care
Hugs
Margaret

You are right the picture was not good, but when I took it it was the best one out of four or five and I tried in several places around the room to get the best one nearest to the colours. It was taken on the coffee table in the end. If I had realised the picture was not good I would have tried again. But I am so glad you like it.
DeleteYou're way ahead of me in holiday tatting! So many sweet angels and snowflakes! And the bookmark is excellent - a lovely gift. I want to try that pattern, too! I can think of so many gifts for special occasions and for special people in my life, but I can't seem to stay focused.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous Margaret x
