Hi,
Wally Saso has a new book out called A Party of Tatting Designs. I have been doing some test tatting for you, there are some lovely motif patterns.
Here is the link to buy the book either digitally or as a book.
These are the motifs I did for Wally with shuttle tatting.
Motif 2012, I used Lizbeth thread Rainbow Taffy no 20
Motif 2007. I used Lizbeth thread Juicy Watermelon no 20. This motif is one that if you want to practice josephine rings and split rings, this will certainly give you a lot of practice.
Motif 2016. I used Lizbeth Thread Juicy Watermelon no 20
Motif 2003 I used Lizbeth thread Rainbow Taffy no 20, The third round is tricky and not a beginners motif, with the three little rings at the end of a split chain.
Bonbon without the wrapper. I used Lizbeth thread Christmas thread no 20
This is an interesting book of different motifs, that can be tatted either by shuttle or needle.
I did enjoy test tatting for Wally, unfortunately these were done before I injured my hand and its the first opportunity to post them, Thank you Wally for giving me the test tatting.
Margaret
