The Lace on My Lap
So many of us are busy tatting up edgings for hankies lately. I have lace on my lap too. Here's a sneak peek. I'm only halfway through but it's rather addictive I must admit.
Asters in Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior, DMC #70
Hi ladies, thanks for your compliments! Yea, it's pretty addictive. I chose to use a finer thread and white because the hanky is all white with a very nice rose bouquet only in one corner. I believe the rose embroidery shd be the focal point but the tatted edging will complement and enhance the whole piece. I hope I've made the right match. The pattern is pretty.
I can't even imagine how many hours this must take to create, Truly stunning work. I have a few vintage pieces of tatting but am saving them for something extra special! hugs Lynn
This looks so gentle, almost fragile. Reminds me of my grandma's tatting - she used the finest thread possible and the result was always stunning. Once you're finished, please post a picture.
This is a very pretty pattern! I haven't done a hanky edging, yet, but just got a new edging booklet.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a fun edging to tat. I look forward to seeing it in place.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pattern and your work is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love that pattern! I'm glad to see that someone else is halfway through an edging!
ReplyDeleteYou have done wonders with the Asters pattern! So delicate and fine. It will be quite elegant once applied. Great job!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely pattern, hadn't really noticed it before.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it when it is finished and sewn on the hanky.
This is going to be very lovely! Addictive, isn't it?
