Hi,
I made this picture for our great niece, who was christened last weekend, the tatting pieces were all sewn onto the frantic, this took hours of tatting and more hours to sew them onto the fabric.
The teddy bear and the dog came from the pattern book, Tatted animals by Inca Madsen,
The words I used a cross between tat letters by Teri Dusenbury and then I did split rings, it took a long time to design the letters, Teri’s patterns did help but I put my own spill on them.
The crown I used the pattern A jubilee crown by Jennifer Williams, Maisy was born this year being a coronation year, so I added the crown to symbol that it is a coronation year.
Maisy and I have several things in common, Maisy is an old Scottish name for MargaretWe were both born in a coronation year, 1953 and 2023, and born were christened in the September of the actual years.
Margaret
A beautiful keepsake to be treasured
