My green collection.

Endless Love by Linda S Davies

I wrote this poem for a friend whose husband had died. I thought I would share it so as to give comfort to others.

Endless Love by Linda S Davies

Like the thrusting of a sword

Death is not a pretty word.

The wound went deep inside my heart

The day that we were forced to part.

Life was cruel to take you so,

Even though you had to go.

Time will heal, so I've been told,

Maybe then I won't feel cold.

I'll see instead, without a tear,

Your smiling face I hold so dear.

And when at last the time has come

For me to go where you have gone,

I know you'll keep me safe from harm

Until you fold me in your arms.

Fan earrings...variations on a theme.

Ankars bracelet

My first Ankhars bracelet. I know that Tatyana Buyvolova posted a link to YouTube but I don't know who to attribute the pattern to.

Ankhars Tatting

This is my first attempt at Ankhars tatting...(just never got around to it before)...which I really enjoyed doing.

Work box

This is the work box that I have made for Aimee Grace, my 9 year old friend (soon to be 10) who is desparate to learn to tat. We are hopefully going to have her first lesson on Sunday morning.

I make the box using old Christmas or birthday cards. There are 6 sides, a top and a bottom. Each piece is made with picture card, a backing card and padded and lined. The pieces are then all sewed together. In the past I have also made the pieces with cloth on the outside decorated with tatting instead of using picture cards.

Snowflake 2017

This is my latest snowflake that I thought might like to be shared.

Here is the link

to the free PDF but it can also be found in my Free Pattern section on the right side bar.

Christmas bells

I've started making Christmas ornaments. This is the little bell I designed last year....I haven't written the pattern out because I know it will be awkward. I will probably do it eventually, lol!

I have now uploaded my next video tutorial....this time on how the join threads, after re-winding a shuttle, without leaving loose ends to sew in.

I have uploaded a new video to YouTube on how to start tatting in two colours without tying the thread together, thus avoiding having to sew the loose ends in.

Pattern for Green and White Classic Doily

 Here is the link to the PDF pattern of my Classic Doily - version 2.

I hope you all enjoy trying it out. If any tatters find any faults with the pattern please let me know so that I can put it right.

Green and white Classic Doily completed

Green and white Classic Doily completed....now the easy part, writing out the pattern 😥

More green and white Classic Doily

Another day and it should be finished.

Green & white Classic Doily

 Amazing what a bit of steam ironing can achieve!

Only the outer edge of scallops to work now. It's already 15 inches wide!

More of the green and white Classic Doily

I will do about 4 rows of green chains and then repeat the scallop edging.
