I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Gina. I had met her only a couple of times when I went down to Illinois for L.A.C.E Days. What a wonderful and talented person and to have her taken from us at such a young age to. I have one of her bags that I had purchased from her site long before I even knew or met her in person. It will definitely mean more to me now every time I look at it.
In this photo are Diane Green Cademartari, Marilee Rocklee, Barbara Gordon and Gina Brummett, 'The Tatting Goddess', and I'm thinking the last one is her sister, but I'm not sure.
She is greatly missed.....
I just finished this one up this morning so I could get it in the mail. I have only made squares ones and that was over 20 years ago. I couldn't get them quite as square as I think they should be, but I had to get this done. If anyone has any suggestions please post them...!!! Thanks.
This is my second 'Round Robin' I received to put a row onto...
Here it is below after I added my row of squares. I really need some practice.....
And this now finishes my second 25 Motif Challenge.....!!!!
I have decided to leave my egg book for a bit. I am now working on a 'Round Robin' with some of the ladies in my lace group, so because of that I will now enter these until we are done. I felt pretty nerves about it in the beginning because I have never designed anything on my own. Even though I'm not great at it, it's not working out to bad. This first one is the one I was given and then there is mine...!!
Egg No. 10 from "TATTING Easter Eggs" by Kirsten Wind Hansen. I used Lizbeth #602 Natural and #661 Country Turquoise - Med. (I love this color..) It only took me a little bit to figure out how this one went together...until I got to the end...! In order to finish I had to work with two RINGS at the same time, working through the other one to finish the first one. It will be a while before I tackle this one again...I do like it though....can you kind of see what I mean..??? I haven't pressed it or nothing. Me and it need a break!
No. 9 in "TATTED Easter Eggs" by Kirsten Wind Hansen. Used Lizbeth white along with #627 called Shell Pink - Med. I'm sure getting a chance to use a lot of the colors that I purchased. Got to the end of this one and only had to take out one chain and two rings because I connected to a wrong picot and really glad I was right at the end....! I wanted to post it, so I stiffened it and then used my hair dryer....last time I'll ever do that! I saw to much of the wax paper that I had it on, on the tatted egg. I then put it between a non-stick pressing sheet, re-pressed it and then blotted it to get the wax off. Err, lesson learned! Yes, I like this one.....
I couldn't sleep, so guess what I did....This is Egg No. 12 in the "TATTED Easter Eggs" book by Kirsten Wind Hansen. My picots are probably not even, but I tried using the picot sizer, but for this many, forget it! Lizbeth thread size 20 in No. 631 called Country Purple Lt. The book said to make the picots in 4mm size. According to my metrics book that would only be .16 of an inch! They did not look that small in the book.....I do feel that these are a bit to big, but it does depend where you looking...ha, ha!
Egg #8 in the book "TATTED Easter Eggs" by Kirsten Wind Hansen. Either the picture is blurry or it's the colors in the spiral cords.... I used Lizbeth size 20 in white and #104, Summer Fun... Now I have to do a simpler one! The number of twists to use in different sections was not very clear to me in the book.
