Hi,
At last it’s finished, I finished tatting the edging just before we went holiday in August, it then lay on the coffee table before I washed it, blocked it and now here it is finished, it’s been a labour of love not, I got so fed up with it, and with other things that needed doing plus being ill for seven months, the edging just dragged on and on, I did two rows of edging, now looking at it I think I should have made it a big bigger, but don’t suggest I unpick it because it’s not happening,
What will I do with it now, well I really don’t know the size is 21 and half inches by 19 inches, or 54 cms by 48 cms approx. I brought some beads from Etsy with 2024 which I put in the middle, I took weeks before deciding where to put them, but they are in the centre, the edging is the two blue squares in the middle. Thus adding the blues bringing them into the cloth more . There are beads for everything we did in 2024, including birthday, anniversary, holidays and of course Christmas and Easter. Will I ever do another one, it’s not on the cards, perhaps in years to come I just might, but I have no plans to do it again.
Have a lovely weekend
Margaret
Congratulations on finishing! It looks fabulous. I really like the structure you chose. It’s a huge commitment, I can see one could tire of it before it was finished. Hats off to you for finishing in spite of that.
