Hanky edging and tast week 2 and 3

Been busy with a lot of things, weather has been nice and not cold, 

though it has been windy.  I say not cold, because it hasn't 

been spring warm,  but it hasn't been

winter cold either. So we have been trying to get some things

done around the house.  In the mean time, I have been working on 

my TAST, and I bought a large, I mean stinking large, huge hankie,

it is 18 inches by 18 inches,  at Hobby Lobby, and I am going to 

put an edging around it and use it for a center piece on solid colored table cloths.

I am working with Lizbeth size 20, fuchsia, and yes, you have seen me

do this pattern before, I just love it and it works up easily, and is wonderful for 

long pieces of lace.

Week 2 of the TAST was the Button Hole, or blanket stitch

so, here are my samples.

All of the flowers are done in the buttonhole stitch, then I added the leaves in

the previous weeks fly stitch, and added some beads for flower centers.

Week 3 of the TAST is the Fan Stitch, I didn't do any samples, but I did

make a picture.  

All the coral is done in the Fan Stitch, the fish is done with the Button Hole stitch really close, and the leaves are done with both open and closed fly stitch. the sand is just a few knots.

Week 4 of the TAST starts tomorrow, so I will see what we get to do then.  

Happy Tatting and have a wonderful week!
