I Know I Can

Sherry's TIAS 2013 is complete.  Here is my finished engine.  It is sooooooo cute.  Needs blocking.  Our Granddaughter will be getting this on a onsie for her first birthday
with the caption "I Know I Can".

New Pattern Added to Pattern Page

Just added my pattern for the first design I ever did to the pattern page.  It is very simple.  The instructions are for a beginner with a couple of changes for the more advanced tatter.  Will add more as I have time to design.  Just trying to get caught up on a few projects first. 

North Georgia Fair Results

 Here are my items I entered into this years North Georgia Fair in Marietta GA. 

The afghan is a knitted sampler. It was done in strips with each strip having 5 different types of stitches (so it was block looking).

The earrings, star and doily were my tatted items. The seahorse earrings and star patterns were done at this years Tat Days (a CD is available with all the patterns if you were not available to attend) and the Doily is called Milk Hill Crop Circle.  I was a little disappointed that my star did not win anything.  However, our fair no longer has a category for tatting so I had to be creative where I entered my items.  The earrings and Crop Circle were made with HDT by me, the star is Lizbeth Blue Ice and HDT Turquoise.

Mystery Doily and TIAS

The top picture is my first round of the Mystery Doily that has been posted on InTatters.  I have had to modify the chain count due to the thread I am using.  Is is coming along pretty well.

The second pic is my finished Day 3 TIAS project by Sherry Pence.  The thread is HDT by me as an experiment.  No real clue yet as to what this is.

Fall TIAS

Sherry Pence (aka LadyShuttleMaker) is hosting a Fall TIAS (Tat It and See) starting September 23.  More info can be found here.  For those of you who have not participated before, a TIAS is where the pattern is published little pieces at a time. Usually lasts for about 3 weeks or so.   It is fun to watch the pattern being tatted and what guesses are being made as to what the pattern is.   I have signed up and am ready to go.
