International Tatting Day

Hi,

Happy International tatting day to all tatters around the world,   yes its the first of April and we are no fools but to us today is the day we go and tat in public,  actually I will be tatting tomorrow in our local craft shop/cafe while my husband has his hair cut.   I usually take my tatting with me while waiting for him and have a cup of coffee sat in a corner tatting away.

Today the picture above is a years work making a set of ice drops for each season,  which I gave to a couple of friends one of each season.,  and kept a set for myself.

Top left Spring with a heart charm for Valentines day, in Sea Island Citrus no 20

Top right Summer with a flower charm in  Juicy Watermelon No 20

Bottom left Autumn which theirs had a gold bird attached (I forgot to attached on one mine) in Falling Leaves no 20

Bottom left Winter which theirs had a angel charm attached see picture below. in Blue ice no 20

These are the two I have just finished for winter,  complete with the angel,  and I put blue beads in one and Turkish eye beads in the other,  for my two friends,.

All threads were Lizbeth threads,  the pattern I used for all of them was Posy Ice drop by Nicola Bowersox

Have a lovely tatting day.

Summer Posy Ice Drops

Hi,

This lovely weather and heatwave goes on,  they say next week will be cooler,  I know my poor garden needs water and the plants are looking at haven for some rain.  so far we had two showers last Friday that just wet the ground.
Today I am showing two ice drops I made these are what I am calling summer posy drop,  I did spring a few months ago and are planning to make a set,  so this is summer with a flower charm,  I used Lizbeth thread no 20 Juicy Watermelon.  The pattern is called Posy Ice drop by Nicola Bowersox.
Hope you are enjoying this fabulous weather
                               Hugs

Posy Ice drops

 Hi,

I made several of these Ice drops called Posy Ice Drops the pattern is by Nicola Bowersox,  I really love this pattern,  the above are for Spring and I used Lizbeth Sea Island citrus and Pineapple Parfait both no 20.  and added a heart  charm to represent valentines day.  I made three and kept one for myself and gave two away for friends.

This is another ice drop same pattern as above, Carollyn wanted blue and green and I had a thread with both called Countryside by lizbeth no 20 and again I added a heart charm.  She has now received it and it was on her blog the other day her is a link to her blog
