A Bee

I remembered seeing a bee in block tatting. Could I find it again? I could, thanks to Google and to Georgia Seitz who kindly groups links to patterns on a theme. This is Martha Ess's bee that I found here.  I used three strands of DMC metallic embroidery floss for the wings.  I tried one strand, which didn't work, but I think I'll try two and see how that looks.

I've tatted four of Jane Eborall's sunflowers. I love that pattern!

  1. Thanks for the compliment, Jane. I must make a replacement brooch for Amanda's mum. Hers is looking a bit tatty now.
