If you've read this blog for a while, you know that I've been working on and off on a runner made of
Frivole's beautiful
Quatrain pattern for 2+ years.
|
Tatted with beautiful La Cossette shuttles. |
I've made some headway this summer and recently have done quite a bit. In fact, I'm over halfway! (You might wonder why the widget on the right doesn't reflect this. Well, it's been so long since I made any progress, I've forgotten the formula. sigh.)
|
This is where it will eventually be. |
The
bad news is my tatting has improved since I started. Of course, the
good news is my tatting has improved since I started. : )
|
Oh phew, there's a thread I missed! |
I wonder if I can live with such an uneven piece when it's complete.
Yeah, probably.
The runner is beautiful and I love the motif. I don't think anyone but you is going to notice the difference in motifs. When it's finished you will have a tatted record of your improvement. I admire your persistence in getting this done.
ReplyDeleteI like that! "A tatted record of improvement". I can live with that! Persistence or stubbornness? : )
DeleteYeah, definitely! It's going to look so stunning that no one is going to notice any differences.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I *do* like it!
DeleteOnly you will notice that much of a difference. I tried making a tablecloth once - I was at it for a lot longer than two years. When I was working on it I noticed the differences a lot, once I wasn't handling it all the time they became less noticeable to me. Finished runner laying out will look great. If there is any spot that bothers then, you lay a coffee table book or other decor item on it :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are one smart cookie! A whole tablecloth? wow!!
DeleteIt's beautiful and proud of you for going so far. I keep several going at once and I like to do that, that way size of thread and color does not bore you.
ReplyDeleteMore than one at a time? Now there's an idea!!! Thank you!
DeleteI think it looks amazing Michelle! And I really love that shade of blue. It's pretty sizeable already, what an accomplishment it will be when you get to the end.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you- that means a lot coming from the creator of the design. I still marvel at the motif which is created by the four coming together!
DeleteAnd I see you got to 100 followers! Something else to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly believe it (but two of them are my daughters who NEVER look so I'm holding out for 102 before I go crazy- haha!)
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou can dampen that part and kind of work it into shape if it REALLY bothers you!
Oh no, it's not that it's wonky but more about tension and consistency of stitches. But water can do miracles...
Deletepiękne!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour, can you just cut that little bit and do a little repair, But it's going to look beautiful when finished.

I think it looks wonderful! If the inconsistencies REALLY bother you, I can find a place for it at my house . . .
ReplyDeleteHaha- that made me laugh aloud- thank you!!!
DeleteEin Fleissarbeit, wenn die Decke fertig ist, wird sie wunderbar aussehen!
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße Cornelia
Oh thank you!
DeleteIt looks beautiful, and only God is perfect, so why worry about imperfections? I have some lovely crocheted doilies made by my friend Irene's mother. She never uses a pattern, and not one lies flat. I am amazed by their beauty and by the hours of love that went into each and every one. Who cares about perfection? Besides, it's blue... that makes it perfect!
ReplyDeleteWisely said! (But it's lavender, I don't know what to do with the camera to make it more true- it's Lizbeth purple medium #632!)
DeleteIt's totally awesome already!! Can't wait till it's finished(of course, I am sure you feel the same). :)
ReplyDeleteYour runner is looking really good Michelle.
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful! I live in hope that I will gain enough patience to make something this gorgeous! PS: I would be thrilled to get together you and Happy Bluebird next time I'm in the States...I will even meet you halfway! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a work! It looks so perfect!
ReplyDeleteMi piace molto questo motivo, la tua realizzazione è perfetta.
ReplyDeleteAre you joking? This is lovely work. My goodness and so much work too. What a lovely pattern. Congrats on 100 followers (was that me? the 100th? LOL). Thanks for visiting my blog too. Love your pretty shuttles too ;)
ReplyDeleteśliczna serwetka, pozdrawiam
