Here in the Berkshires the sun is shining. We did have a frost last night but it is leaving quickly. Thankfully the pansies spent the night in the garage. The birds outside have been talking since 5:30 this morning and Ted (the cat) has gone back to bed. I am here doing a post so that I will have two for the month.
I have almost finished with one quilt and the backing material has been ordered. I will show it when it is completely done and sent on to its owner. With having a pause in that quilt, I have decided to take apart two identical quilts where I am not pleased with my sewing. These were among the first quilts that I began when I retired. The machine stitch is a 2.4 and I now prefer a 1.8. The 2.4 is to loose for the quilt piecing and I don't want the stitching/quilts to come apart. I am only unstitching bigger sections of the blocks, not all the way to the beginning. I will show pictures next time.
Another quilt has begun in my head and I have asked the person that it will go to what she'd like. We almost have the decision made.
My pictures for today are tatting. Number 4, 5, and 6 for the Motif Challenge. I am 2/3 way around row 13 on Renulek's 2014 Spring Doiley. I hope to have it finished and blocked soon and then it will be a picture. Wonder if a doiley is a Motif?
This is my favorite tatted egg! (It is a soft boiled egg) This doesn't count for the motifs as I have already shown one in a different thread color.
Here are snowflakes from Jon Yusoff's Tatted Snowflake Collection

Enjoy your day wherever you are. May the sun shine on you also.
Lovely tatting. I especially like the soft-boiled egg. Cute idea!

ReplyDeleteAnd you can use a doily as a motif for the challenge if you like. Can't wait to see it!! :)
