Another tiny peak at doily in progress, and what Vicki did

This is still the same doily that I have been designing using only one shuttle and ball method throughout. (Some celtic interlacing included). I'm sticking to it!

I thought the design needed some small motifs, which necessitate "tie and cut" and ends worked in. I plan on sewing them in using "Lily's Way".

I think the doily will be finished after a few more rounds, yay!

The butterfly in the next photo was tatted by Vicki, and is her interpretation of the "Bedazzled Butterfly" pattern in my book, "Boutique Tatting". I think Vicki did a terrific job! And thanks go to Celtic Dream Weaver for sending the photo.



Dye batch in progress is "Peace".

Thanks, Diane - the doily is coming a little slowly, because I have to take breaks to make more HDT (grin).

TattinChic, you are the cleverest with words, LOL! I love it! BTW, what thread sizes are your favorites?

My curiosity is peeked to see your finished doily! I also like your 'peace' color. It looks like magnolia blossoms. They only are here for a short time, but they are gorgeous like your thread!

Marilee, I really enjoyed making the necklace. The directions and pictures were great. Vicki

Tat19540, that is a lovely comparison. There are some magnolias blooming in the neighborhood just now.

Vicki, thanks so much for giving permission to show your beautiful necklace here. You did a fantastic job of it! I'm glad that the directions were explained clearly enough to provide an enjoyable experience :-)
