Playing with colors, love these colors together in a bouquet.  Think I need a different purple but the red and yellow are pretty close.  Purple flowers I will be making are like one in first bouquet.  Not sure what shape flowers the rest will be.  I love the leaves, I bought 2 threads, a plain green as a back up in case I didn't love this one.  It is the twirlz thread by Lizbeth and it is the green/blue combination.  I think it makes awesome leaves.

Does anyone out there have any amazing flower combinations?  

this is a heart made with size 10 thread which I have never broken.  I like the dainty look of the smaller threads but get frustrated when they break, normally close to end of project.

SweetHeart pattern by Birgit Phelps

Who else has made this pattern?  Who else breaks their thread?

Well it's been a long time again.  Now that I have a day job I hope to blog more often.

Here's one of my biggest frustrations, I break thread too easily. Size 20 is just not my friend.

I get close to the end and break my thread. Yikes!

What is your biggest frustration?

It's been a long time since I've been here.  I hope to blog more often as I am tatting regularly now.

demo of tatting at my daughter Theresa's middle school - hopefully develop more students

this is a pattern I made up that was one of the pieces I had with me at the demo

this is one of my hand drawn cards with added tatted flowers and one little butterfly.

cards are one of my specialities

one of my little snowflakes (love colors)

I didn't have this with me so I took the photo with me.

this is the garter that I made for my daughter in law.

another one of my cards, this one includes dry embossing and stamping with the tatted flowers

teaching in the Triad

Teaching tatting for free, you need to buy 2 shuttles or call me and you can buy them from me at class (cost $5.00)

See older posts for pictures of some of the things you can make.  Currently have a class going at Kernersville library but am available for other locations as well.
