Hi,
It’s a beautiful day here in Somerset, I have been catching up on some jobs in the garden that I can manage at the moment, Vernon has had a cataract op, and is not allowed to bend, garden, hoover, lift, carry anything heavier than the kettle, and having 7 timed drops a day, so everything is on me, not easy when he’s my career,
The top picture is a bookmark called Onion Ring Bookmark by Robin Perfetti, I love Robins patterns she designs them to be so easy. I also like doing onion rings. This one I made using Lizbeth Blue River Glades in no 40, this was some thread I won from Wanda years ago.
This bookmark also the same pattern I was tatting on the coach holiday we did to Austria in August, I did also do a hanky edging but I have not sewn it on the hanky yet, will show you when finished, I tatted 30 inches on the coach, plus I made a butterfly for Sue the hostess on the coach, The gold coach has a hostess who makes tea, coffee and anything else the passengers need on the holiday, she looked after us very well, in fact everyone on the coach was so helpful, not had so much help from strangers before.
I used Lizbeth Pink Parade and leaf green together, no 20.
I have photos of Austria to show you but I am still working on that, not easy at the moment to find the time looking after hubby.
Margaret
