We had fun! There were 6 of us that got together at the Mayfair Mall food court. That's me in the tie-dyed t-shirt, giving Judy her first tatting lesson. She got on very quickly! I think she's caught the "tatting bug" :-)
The group around the table laden with tatting goodies included Khomi, Judy, Heather, Ana, and Shirley.
Gift bags containing a shuttle and ball of thread were presented to each tatter at the meeting.
Heather has been tatting since last summer, and had a lot of really beautiful work to show.
Judy and Shirley were new beginners at tatting. They both learned fast, and had rings and chains to show before the evening was done.
Ana worked on a tatted pendant with buttons, while Shirley practiced her first double stitches.
Khomi used to tat a lot, but hadn't done it for 20 years. At this meeting she tatted the brown butterfly in size 10 thread, I did the multicolored one in size 3.
It seemed that the 2nd Monday of the month works well for this group, so we plan on meeting again on March 11.
