Yes, I am still here :D I have been commenting on blogs, and reading
all the wonderful blogs and projects everyone has been doing, but
I haven't been doing much recently, some family business I know
you all aren't interested in, and I haven't been feeling well recently, I have
lupus and it wears me down from time to time, especially when under stress.
But hopefully things are smoothing out, so, that is just life :)
I started a new project, while I am trying to decide on exactly the perfect
edging for the hanky Diane sent me, the green and off white one, I
have started on one for a friend in Australia of mine named Paula.
Roxy got her package of all her little goodies and absolutely loved them and I am
really tickled, and now it is another friends turn to get a couple things :D
I really love giving gifts to my friends, really warms my heart .
Hear is the start of a hanky for Paula, this is just the first round of the edging, it has
2 rounds, and I will post pictures of the progress.
Lizbeth, size 20, the color is called shell, or seashell, something like that, but it is
number 114.
if you want to see a pic of the edging, this is the url,
scroll about 3/4 of the way down, and it is in a group of 4 pictures, it is
figure number 37. I wish I had a better image to show, but I will when I get more
accomplished on my hanky :)
Happy tatting, Bree.
Very pretty thread! I looked up the picture of the pattern... it's lovely! Maybe I'll look at some of those antique hankies for my next project. I hope you're feeling better today. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteYour edging will be beautiful! I forget to look at the Antique Pattern website at all those patterns.
ReplyDeleteI really like the soft variegated thread color with the solid white hanky.
Ohhh...I am very excited, my Grandma used to have that book, she loved it! I don't know what happened to it, because it's not one that I got when I received her tatting books...but yeah!!!! Thank you so much for posting that link :-) Love the edging too...definitely want to try several from that book :-)
ReplyDeleteIt will look beautiful in that colour, its lovely to receive or even send gifts, goody bags are always welcome.

Perfect colour for the hankie. I don't know how you attach this so well as you go - it never works well for me at all!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling much better soon.
Fox : )
aww, thank you all so much :) Fox, I found when I tried making it and sewing it on after, I completely messed it up. I thought I had the number of repeats right, and I ended up bunching up the edging, and then it looked ruffly, I was so disappointed. I will post a pictorial next of just how I am attaching, to try and show just how I am doing it, I can't promise it will be a good one, as I have never done that, but I will give it a go :D
ReplyDeleteI love the color you've chosen for the edging--it looks great!
