Hi,
As promised this is the tatting I did in hospital, it might look a lot but really its only a few bits of small items, patterns I know mostly off by heart. It kept my occupied during the long hours, I was in a private room on my own due to the radio active treatment for the cancer. Vernon was only allowed to visit two hours per day so he split into one hour in the afternoon and one hour in the evening.
So here is the above picture in smaller amounts. You will have seen the patterns before but for new followers I will say what they are.
This is butterflies, the two large butterflies are Mary Konior's in Turkish Altin Basak thread. The smaller ones are bits left on shuttles which were Lizbeth thread Pineapple Parfait, and girly girl.
This is be-stitched hearts called Tatted Josephine Heart, I used Lizbeth thread Girly girl no 20 for these
This heart is called Small Tatted Heart by Betsy Evans, and again I used Lizbeth thread Girly girl No.20
And finally a bookmark this is Kersti's Floral Tatted Bookmark which I used one of the balls of thread that I won from Rachel on intatters,
The thread is Lizbeth no 20 Vineyard Harvest.
I have put a close up at the bottom
Just a reminder Fox had problems this week and her blog address is now www.tat-ology.blogspot.ca, if you have never visited her do pop along and see her tatting.
I hope you have a lovely weekend
Until we meet again Take care
Hugs
Margaret
