Tatting

I got online after my first attempt of tatting and found this wonderful online tatting class
They also have a yahoo group you can join for beginning tatters. I will be attending my first online class this Thursday. The first row of tatting are the lessons for the class, with the exception of the Hen and Chicks which I will wait for class cause I can't get that one figured out. lol The motif at the bottom is from Barbara Foster's book, It's the one I done first just using varigated floss. I had the harderst time for some reason with the butterfly,,but Cynthia helped me along and I finally got it. I didn't leave the extra thread for the antennae's cause I will put this on a CQ block and add them then. Thanks Cynthia so much for your help.

I've Been Double Tagged

I've been tagged by Karen, and Susan. The rules are that you go to your fourth picture in your album,,or as I done and get the fourth picture you posted on your blog, and post it. My fourth picture happened to be the quilt I made for Jason and Stef for a Christmas present in 2006. December of 2006 was when I first started my blog. The quilt was made from a monthly BOM club I was in when I lived in Mt. View.
So now I will pick these four people to tag:
Candi
Norma
Pat Winters
Gail
Now you don't have to play along,,don't feel you have too,,but it would be fun seeing what your fourth photo you blogged or put in your photo's would be.

Learning to Tat

I am very pleased with my results on my first tatting project. I had won two tatting books, 3 needles, and some threads from Patricia, in a giveaway she had. So today I sat down and here's what I made. Once you learn to go through the loop on a ring and the teardrop on the chain,,,it's not that hard. I will try another pattern later,,got to get busy on my blocks again. But now I know I can do it , I will be tatting more to put on my cq work.
