Tatting challenge

2011-04-21T11:33:00.000+02:00

Tatting challenge : Numer 25 !

I have finally managed to complete with the 25th .....

tatting challenge : Motif Nr. 24

2011-03-25T13:35:00.000+01:00

Because of the lack of time, lack of tatting to share ... I could do this motif for the challenge :

it took me about 3 weeks !

Tatting challenge : Motif # 23

2011-02-16T16:40:00.001+01:00

I like square patterns ... So here's another square motif in DMC 80 for the challenge :
I added some beads to the corners of the square

Tatting challenge : Motif #22

2011-01-20T08:02:00.000+01:00

I have done this "little" mat in DMC fil dentelle 80 :

25 motif challenge : Motif Nr. 21

2011-01-03T12:07:00.000+01:00

Tatting challenge : Motif #20

2010-12-21T08:42:00.000+01:00

For the challenge, I tatted this doily with DMC perle cotton thread size 12.

design of Teiko Fujiko (not so easy !)

Tatting challenge : Motif # 19

2010-12-15T09:12:00.000+01:00

My new works for the tatting challenge are ... these two small rosettes, nothing complicated !

Tatting challenge : Motif # 18

2010-11-30T08:40:00.000+01:00

Small purse with beads and tatted motif :

I crafted this little purse with a remnant of pink fabric and some beads. I could not resist adding a tatted motif ...

Motif # 17 for the tatting challenge : My design.

2010-11-17T11:18:00.000+01:00

Today, I show you my design, I show you my heart :

I resume here the exact words of Fox : "Designed in Sharon's Design-Tat Course, without which I would never have done it!" , because I am quite agree with her :-;

Motif # 16 for the tatting challenge

2010-11-11T15:29:00.000+01:00

"Picot Lace Trim"
I made a very simple lace trim for this Handkerchief : it is a "sober and discreet handkerchief " ;-)

Tatting challenge Motif Nr. 15

2010-11-07T22:44:00.000+01:00

I made an attempt to create a mignonette, because I like the spidery appearance of this model :

most rings are joined to a bare thread and I stopped quickly in developing the model, because it is quite difficult, even with a gauge to do exactly the same size for each one.....

Tatting Challenge Motif 14

2010-10-29T08:06:00.000+02:00

Another design of Teiko Fujiko. I learned a lot from her tatting books and even the smaller designs are always full of ideas :

Tatting challenge Motif Nr. 13

2010-10-04T11:29:00.001+02:00

All chains are oriented in the same oblique direction
and it gives a great dynamic to the doily : it looks like a wheel!

Motif #12

2010-09-27T08:18:00.001+02:00

Here is a doily I made for the challenge :

Author is Sumi Fujishige. Patterns are diagrammed (but all the text is in Japanese!)

Insertion - Motif # 11

2010-09-20T08:49:00.001+02:00

A little work on the regularity of the stitches with a thick thread.

It's an old insertion lace pattern.

Motif Nr. 10

2010-09-12T10:38:00.000+02:00

I have tatted an old pattern with squares :

it is not very elegant but it is a good exercise for the tatted squares : to improve ! ....

Pink glass mat

2010-09-03T08:20:00.000+02:00

I have tatted an edging in DMC pearl cotton No. 12 (still pink !)
I sewed it on a square of linen and I embroidered a little flower in the center :

8th motif for the challenge

2010-08-30T12:39:00.000+02:00

this is another design of Teiko Fujito with inner rings (a good exercise too !) :

7th motif

2010-08-26T08:06:00.000+02:00

another square, very elegant too and a little bit easier to do :

New motif for the tatting challenge ...

2010-08-22T12:48:00.000+02:00

... is a little square motif from Designer iris Niebach, it is done in perle cotton, size 12 (a ball of pink and a ball of beige color) Not an easy task because of the corners !

shuttles in (my) pocket

2010-08-16T08:58:00.000+02:00

I sewed a little pouch:

Tatting shuttle and holder inside

to avoid pricking my finger searching for my shuttle at the bottom of my bag ...

2010-08-10T17:58:00.000+02:00

This week-end, I have tatted these 2 motifs of designer Teiko Fujiko for the 25 motif challenge
(thread DMC N°80) :

Sommer homework

2010-07-28T09:47:00.000+02:00

Motif worked with 2 shuttles (Design : Teiko Fujito)

This summer I want to improve my technical know how ...
I plunged into the book "The tatted artistry of Teiko Fujito" and this is my homework.
Bad result : I have cut a thread at the end :-(

Tatting challenge and a new doily

2010-03-19T16:19:00.000+01:00

After all, I made a doily :

Too long, too much complicated, I do not manage to make child's cap, which was initially planned :-(

SAL Ackworth

2010-03-05T08:56:00.002+01:00

To alternate with the lace, I make a little of embroidery by participating in the SAL ACKWORTH

I embroidered the motives in 1 cotton thread on 2 linen threads.
The cloth is a linen cloth of color ivory of 14 threads in the cm.

Here is the photo of my 1st objective :

Regrettably, I do not manage to post the photo of my work on the blog SAL ACKWORTH .... Monica, if you read these lines, can you send me the invitation by e-mail?
¿ Desgraciadamente, no logro enviar la foto de mi adelanto sobre el blog SAL ACKWORTH Mónica, si lees estas líneas, puedes ayudarme stp?

Child's Bonnet part 1

2010-02-23T13:08:00.004+01:00

I began this child's small cap, I had to adapt it. I am not sure that I manage to make it for the good dimensions... If I do not manage to make this model, I shall transform it into holdall !

2010-02-12T08:30:00.002+01:00

Happy New Year to all!

2010-01-06T14:43:00.003+01:00

Here is how I celebrated the new year:

All the goods are beautiful : See Georgia's attractive fishes, hand crafted wooden picot gauges and original hairpin lace looms...

The goods are very well packed, thanks to Georgia Seitz.

I hope that the little fishes will bring me luck ! Best wishes and Happy new year to all !

Needlebook

2009-12-11T10:46:00.009+01:00

I sewed myself this small needlebook. May I say that I am proud of me, because I do not like too much the sewing and moreover I am not endowed ?!

I made an embroidery on the front and I sewed a tatted flower on the flap

Inside are two pages of wool flet that can hold my pins and needles.

"A" for ...

2009-12-01T12:59:00.004+01:00

Love :

"L'amour est clair comme le jour, l'amour simple comme le bonjour, l'amour est nu comme la main, c'est ton amour et le mien..."( Jacques Prévert)

New bookmarks

2009-11-16T11:35:00.004+01:00

I prepare Tatting gifts for charity with these bookmarks... but I love doilies so much, that I do some of them , when I am bored with bookmarks !

2009-11-09T10:59:00.008+01:00

I wanted to do such a nice bookmark * using SCMR with rings off ring :

* by Sabina Carden-Madden on http://www.paradisetreasures.com/

but I have done that :

a new motif for the challenge ;-)

Snowflakes

2009-11-07T09:23:00.006+01:00

Network

2009-10-28T08:27:00.003+01:00

Here is a model called "Network" (Marie Konior), a very easy and spectacular Network tatted in DMC's size 20 !

Empress Joséphine

2009-10-01T13:22:00.008+02:00

I have done a tatted Edge , called 'Delphinus' (Pascale Provot's pattern) :

The last outside row is decorated with picots Joséphine : 11 half knots formed of the the first half stitch only : not very practical, because the thread twists itself and the work deforms.

I think that 5 double knots are enough for a picot.

Empress Joséphine would certainly agree with me ;-)

Tatting and Netting

2009-09-25T18:14:00.005+02:00

At the moment I try these 2 techniques and they really interest me both :

At the top it's embroidered net. I have done a pattern of Maragret Morgan.

Below a little tatted net in white and blue (pattern of Mary Konior ).

But here the tatted net is not rather fine and the contrast with the embroidered net is too important. The next time, I shall take a thread lace for the tatted work. I have to take a finer thread so that the work is more attractive !

white wheel

2009-09-09T17:47:00.003+02:00

I have done it for the second time ... pour le plaisir !

Lace samples

Variegated Burgundy Red No.99

2009-08-21T08:12:00.004+02:00

I love the way the colors gradually become lighter and dark :

why not white flowers ?!

2009-08-18T14:58:00.003+02:00

Can anyone recognize these flowers :

I tatted a daisy and a buttercup flower ...

I love keeping my hands busy with needlework and I especially like to tat while I'm watching TV. ... Yesterday I have done a simple little round doily that uses only one split ring :

split chain

2009-01-16T09:43:00.005+01:00

I'm trying to learn the split chain technique.

I have found nice tutorials from :
Jane Eborall (visual diagrams) : http://www.e.n.e.btinternet.co.uk/splitchain.htm
Jon : http://tatsaway.blogspot.com/2008/10/split-chain.html.
and Marie Smith (http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~nickeb/SCHMarie.htm)

Thanks! Following your tutorial I was able to start little split chains !
Every Beginning is difficult ... as, you can see I need to practice so it looks right !

just finished !
