Hearts, Shuttles and New Techniques

Vinnie made a lock shaped motif in block tatting using two techniques. Jane Eborall's for the center and Martha Ess for the outer rings.

Tattingchic has two of Georgia's tatting shuttles on display as well as a work in progress that I think a lot of us will recognize.

Anne has done a piece of homework from the on-line tatting class from last year but instead of using Coronation Cord she used ribbon. Very pretty Anne.

Diane ended up with some unexpected free time so she used it to tat some edging to use up the thread on a few shuttles she has. Very nice shuttles Diane.

Wally is really in the mood for tatting hearts. Motif 14 and 15 are designed by Jon Yusoff and are called Jon's Heart and Heart's Entwined. Motif's 16 and 17 are Two Hearts as One designed by Martha Ess and where meant to be woven together but Wally lost the directions so she left them separate. They look very nice on there own Wally.

Tallented Tatters, Snowflakes and Angels

Heather is tatting a motif and she is going to surprise us with what it is. She is using a clay shuttle that she made herself.

Ellen who is so wonderfully talented shows us what she sent to Pamela for the Secret Santa Exchange and it includes an angel that she calls Angel Pam which is motif #19 of the challenge and a beautiful snowflake bookmark.

Aileen shows us the treasure trove of gifts that she received from her better half and Secret Santa. There are also pictures of a snowflake and bookmarks and items for the Secret Santa Exchange that she tatted.

Iris has 2 new designs that she is working on. One is for a one round collar. I don't know about you but I eagerly await the finished project as Iris is very talented and her designs are always a delight.

Heather is back to shuttle tatting! She had been using her needles for so long that she has to get her stitches smooth again, but she said it was no trouble picking it back up. Go Heather!

Kathy N. has posted a picture of her lovely stocking covered in tatting. I am sooo jealous, Kathy. I also appreciate the kind words of encouragement to the update team. Thank you.

Shirley has tatted a cute gray cat, a pretty angel, a snowflake and a turtle that is small enough for earrings. She has been busy, I think!



Tattingchic is sharing pictures with us of her lovely angel that she tatted 15 years ago and starched. She is still absolutely perfect. It is important to Tattingchic that angels have faces and she certainly picked a lovely one for this angel. She is made from 3 doilies tatted from the same pattern but modified to fit.



Eva has tatted a beautiful angel in a purple robe. Very pretty Eva.

Claudia has tatted a Christmas tree from Ellen Lai's pattern. This is motif #11 for her.

Snowflakes, Spinning Wheel Mats, Prizes and Projects!

Heather has been battling a sore throat and some other disappointments. However she does have some pictures that are interesting.





Carol has been very busy with little time for posting. She is having trouble keeping up with the tatting blogs, but says that is a good thing as it means more people are tatting. She is right! She shows us her completed TIAS with a section missing, but it looks good to me.


Shay has a picture from 1947 of some crocheted lace trimmings for a nightgown. She thinks they would be pretty on a v-neck blouse. I agree.

Wendy is brushing up on her knitting for cold winter nights by watching How To videos.
