Cornelia

 Cornelia is the name of this tatted Doily by Iris Niebach, from her book Tatted Doilies.

 I took this project on holiday as I thought it would be quick to make, but it wasn’t. Fortunately I had enough patience to finish it on returning home and so pleased I did. 

I wound  two threads together, one was sparkly but sadly the photograph hides this fact. But very pleased with the result.

    Wow. I’m glad you finished it, it would be a shame to leave it languishing. Really gorgeous.

    Beautiful! I love the way Iris's patterns weave in and out. I find them quite challenging and well worth the effort!

      Thank you Diane, yes it was a challenging pattern, much more than I realised, and not really a relaxed holiday tat, but as you say well worth the effort.

    You did a beautiful job of tatting this. It's gorgeous! The sparkle is difficult to see in this picture, but if you scroll back to the first time you mentioned this pattern, and enlarge the picture, you CAN see the sparkle in that one.

      Thanks Stephanie, I did not know that the sparkle was visible at one stage. I took the first photo in the window of where we were staying so it must have been the way it caught the light.

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...

Renulek Doily finished

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 ...
