MOTIF # 7 April 1st International Tatting Day....

On the International Tatting Day, Georgia Seitz gave us a challenge.It consisted in writting patterns from the book Die Schiffchernarbeit....

and I choosed this one..

and tat this version with beads in the outer row...

The center has onion rings and to jump to the last row, I used a split chain and a split ring, because I dont like to cut threads if I can avoid it!

I have used Coats mercer crochet # 40 for this version.

MOTIF # 6 in honour to Mary Konior

I haven´t post nothing since a few months... So I will continue my second motif challenge, making honour to a great tatter, Mary Konior.
I just begin an edging from her book TATTING WITH VISUAL PATTERNS, called Maids of honour.. It looks like little fans chained together,, and makes a delicate edging to decorate something special... I m using Coats # 40, finer thread that im used to tat with.. but very convenient for this tatting..

.. and I used the corner to tat this little fan.... I love it!!!

In future posts Ill be showing other motifs that Ill be doing during these past months....
