Today's tatting is for Fox who commented that she would like to see the modified "Margaret" motif in white, yellow and green.
Hurray! I remembered to try out Jane's "blipless" joining technique for the first join.
Boo! I forgot to throw off a green ring from petals two and four of the smaller, five-petal posy. *face.palm*
The ring was intended to connect the outer posies for added strength.
Journey commented that she would consider further modifying this pattern to connect the flowers. Sharon Briggs also mused about not leaving those posies to wave in the wind.
I agree! So the experiment continues.
(Can't help wondering, though, if a six-petal flower would align the rings and petals more judiciously.) ッ
The outer round of posies reminds me of Western Springbeauty or Pear blossoms.
Easter Socks
The Nelson edgings for Easter socks were completed on time and given to my niece Jalice. Can you believe that is the first pair of socks to which I have ever attached tatting? Another observation: two 12 1/2-inch lengths of edging (31.8 cm) are roughly halfway around a handkerchief. Hmmm...
As for tea, I sipped my first seasonal glass of sun tea. It was a refreshing blend of decaf green, pomegranate and wild berry plum. (It sounds complicated, but tastes delicious on ice!)
Wishing you all blissful me time to create something beautiful. See you next Tuesday for more communi-tea!
