One day . . . . . is here!!


If you read yesterday's post, then you would not think the title strange. Well, since I found the photo, I wanted to show you this. The pattern is from Ruth Scharf and this was one doily I tatted all by myself after my tatting classes in 2006. I was intrigued at why I chose these colours but here it is . . . . bright and colourful. Both colours are from Olympus. There are mistakes so it looks a little warped. I am sure you can spot it. And this is one piece which could not lay flat without blocking. It was a mess!

  2. You tried this doily after your tatting class? Very adventurous of you. After three years of tatting, I only managed to learn the split chain & ring from Jon last year.

  4. That is stunning! I've never seen a tatting pattern like that before, and for you to have done that as a beginner is quite amazing! I don't see the mistakes, either. That is simply wonderful!

    Is the pattern from a book or online?

  7. At first, I couldn't believe the striped sections were tatted! It looks like weaving!

    I was somehow unaware of Ruth Scharf's patterns, and now realize she specialized in block tatting, especially leaves. These shapes, however, look more geometric because of the unique striping.

    I think this looks perfect, and is most unusual! Do I understand you no longer have the doily? I hope it has a happy home!
