    Just started the last round - which is the same scallop round as before. Will post a picture when it is all done. Done in Aida size 20 the large doily will measure about 17 inches in diameter.

    I am re-working my Classic Doily so that I can photograph each section to match the written pattern. I am now on the last round and so will hope to get the pattern test-tatted soon. Anyone up for test-tatting?

    Classic Doily - Brown & Cream

    Here is the brown and cream version of the Classic Doily. I am still not 100% happy with the stitch count, the first row after the first set of scallops is too big and I ended up with a lot more scallops around the outer edge! I have already started a new one, in size 40 Lizbeth white, instead of size 20 and I am writing the pattern out as I go. I feel confident that I will get it right ...

    I told my friend, Eileene, in America, that I was bored because I didn't have a project to tat, and I don't like just tatting for no reason, so she requested a large round doily for her dining room table.



    This is the result. I liked doing it very much and I am going

    I went to the West Midlands Tat Day recently and purchased a ball of DMC 80 in colourway 67 and also a white one. I made this little doily with the new threads and I have deliberately not swapped shuttles so that you can see the split chains and split rings I have used to climb out of each row. By doing split chains and rings, this doily was achieved in one go, so only one lot of hiding ends

    All in clover - doily

    I had some pearle 12 left on my shuttles from making my corsage and so used up the thread with this doily. It didn't flow as well as some of my designs, therefore I had a lot of wasted thread, however, I think the end result was worth it!

    Split chain doily

    , 11-04-2012 at 07:12 PM
    When I did the little motif to demonstrate my method of doing a split chain it seemed a shame to waste it.....and so I just carried on. I used a thick thread for the demo and I don't normally use such a thick thread for doilies, but I thought, "what the heck" and this is the result so far. I have no idea what I shall do with it when it is finished, probably give it away, as usual, LOL!!! ...

    Oval Doily in Ecru now finished!

    The doily is now finished. I have also finished the written pattern, but I have offered it to Georgia Seitz, to help raise funds for Palmettos sponsorship. If it is that she is not in a position to sell it to fellow tatters, then I will post it on my blog for free as usual.

    Here is the doily, now a little bigger. I'm quite enjoying this pattern, it seems to be flowing naturally without having to re-do any rounds.

    Here, as promised, is a photograph of the next few rows of this new doily. So far each row has worked in very well.....no retr-tatting! Mind you, as it gets bigger, this will probably change! LOL!

    Having finished all my projects and having nothing in particular to do I thought I would make an oval doily to put on my new television table, which itself is oval, and is in black glass.

    This is the start. I have done a couple of more rounds and will post a picture when it is bigger still. I am writing the pattern out as I go, for a change. This makes life much easier.....trying ...

    Here are pictures of the finished Coronet Doily Variation completed.

    This all came about because Judy Edwards decided to make a row of my small Coronet Doilies around the outside edge of my large Coronet Doily and she needed to make a joining motif to complete it.

    Joining Motif for Coronet Doily

    , 17-10-2011 at 11:41 AM

    Following Judy Edwards adaptation of my Coronet Doilies (see previous post) I thought I would have a go at doing my own version.
    This is how I would join the smaller outer coronet doily motifs together.
    Only 5 more outer doilies and joining motifs to make! It will be quite large when it is completed (I am using size 20 Aida threads). I will post the overall size when I have

    Judy Edwards entered her adaptation of my Coronet Doily into NC State Fair and won first prize in the lace section, which included all types of lace.
    I think that this is a wonderful result and kudos for tatting!
    Well done, Judy!

    Click image for larger version.  Name: Brown_cream 2.jpg  Views: 77  Size: 84.9 KB  ID: 13215I had to stop for a few days as I was running out of thread, but I have now obtained some more (from Mary Helen - such a lovely obliging lady!) and so now I can get on with the project. I think I have already worked out how I will join the outside motifs and can't wait to give it a go!
