Well, I finally finished
it this weekend! I remade the flowers to have the 5 chains but I prefer the others because the last round laid right next to the chains. I used size 80 vintage thread from Aunt Rose-E. Originally I was enchanted by the pattern and intended to make several repeats but getting that last leaf in was too fiddly for me.
Thank you, Frivole, for making the leaf
video. It was a real help!
My older daughter (the one who tats too) and I went to a cafe this weekend for some special tatting time- I am SO lucky. We had fun! She's working on a totusmel pattern and I did the
Tischband. We also talked about why tatting with tiny thread is fun but how it takes FOREVER to produce anything of size. : )
Latin for today: filiam meam amo - I love my daughter.
Lovely, the flowers are beautiful, I like the colours you have used.

DeleteHaha! I sure wish I had kept my high school Latin books. Think of the fun I could be having now!
DeleteThat is gorgeous. I didn't realize how small it was until I saw the last picture. That's a lot of work for it to be that small!!!!
ReplyDeleteQuesto lavoro al chiacchierino è meraviglioso! Bravissima, complimenti!
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine doing this with size 80 thread! I've often said that I'm pleased that I CAN tat with size 80, as I find it difficult to crochet with, but I very rarely do tat with it. I applaud your patience and skill! This piece should be framed!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice that you can share your love of tatting with your daughter!
Wow! I didn't realize how small it was, either, until I saw the picture with the quarter. Oh,my, oh, my! You did a great job on it. It is so cool that you can have a tat and chat with your daughter. I keep hoping one day on of my daughters will be interested.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful motif :)
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to be able to share tatting with your daughter.
ReplyDelete#80! Tischband? Yikes! You have done a brilliant job!
