Three Floral Crosses

-

There are so many different tatted cross patterns to choose from, but not all of them can be made in one round.  When Robin showed us this cross  I was delighted to see it and decided to tat it as soon as I could.








Floral Cross



The first cross I tatted was the middle one, then I increased the stitch count for the other two and of course added a few beads.  



Thank you Robin for a delightful pattern, I will be making a lot more of them in the future.



At the moment there are three pop-a-bobbin shuttles left in Jane's Etsy shop just in case you are interested.

    It's always a pleasure to see others enjoying these little patterns. I'm glad to see that it worked out with the increased stitch count too!

      Robin this has become my favourite cross pattern. When tatting friends share their talent in this way these little gems become even more special - again thank you.

    All lovely. I think my favorite is the one with the yellow beads. That thread/bead color combination is especially appealing to me.

    I love them all! I have this pattern printed out, but I haven't tried it yet. I suppose I should!

100th Blog Anniversary

To celebrate my 100th post and to thank all of you out there who have been so supportive to me and "I'm in the garage" over the past 17 months, we are giving away two prizes, each comprising of a hand made tatting shuttle.  One will be a Pop-A-bobbin shuttle and the other will be a post shuttle.  So there will be two winners.  The shuttles will be put in one of these specially decorated boxes. It is good to win something you really want, and some of you prefer using a post shuttle rather than a shuttle with a bobbin.  So in order for that to happen you have the option to choose which type of shuttle you would like and which box.  So when you comment please put either "Post" for Post shuttle or "Pop" for Pop-A-bobbin shuttle.  However, if you don't mind which shuttle, you will have a double chance to win, as your entry will be put in for both, so in that case please do not put a preference. As for the box, if you have a preference for the colour the

I finished this doily a few days ago but I am actually not that happy with it, the thing is the  piece really needs damping, blocking and a good press.  This should not be needed but I think some parts of the pattern did not work that well.  I have used three makes of thread on this doily Manuela, Coats and Lizbeth all 20.

Today is quite special for many reasons it is Advent Sunday in the Church.  Advent is a term from the Latin word 'adventus' which means "arrival".  It is a time of waiting for the arrival of Christmas and is associated mainly with Advent Calendars and in particular the fun of opening to see what is revealed behind each number!  Whilst in Scotland the people are celebrating St. Andrew's day as he is the Patron Saint of Scotland.  Google has marked the day with a doodle of the Flying Scotsman - the world famous steam locomotive. However,  here on this blog there is a special giveaway.  Please leave a comment if you would like the chance of winning the shuttle and thread holder (please note this does not include the piece of wood underneath or the foliage), you have until 3rd December when I will announce the winner by using a random number generator. The shuttle is made out of sequoia,  the tree that the wood comes from stands in front of the church in the village
