Working On It
I'm working on Motif 36. I'm using size 40 thread, just because it came to hand first when I was looking for thread. I don't have a wide range of colours in size 40, but every time I do use it, I think, 'I should use this size thread more often!'.
I feel so guilty every time I see your lovely tatting, it jolts me into thinking that I should get the thread and shuttle out again. I do like that colour combination. Briony x
Love your choice of colors! I also love the book. I'm scheming to add a border from her book to a cross stitch of a cat. The only color is the blue. What color for the tatting??????
I am exactly like you Jane, most of the time prefer 20. Have very little 40 but love the effect when using it. Your motifs are looking very interesting.

Ooooh, that looks awesome already!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI like that color combination!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean ! The tatting looks & feels so delicate, so lacy ! I love to work with size 40 now. Unfortunately, can't go any finer.
ReplyDeleteI like size 40 too and felt the same way and now I have three boxes of thread for each size and I do put the 50 with the 40's they work together too!
ReplyDeleteYour colours are lovely and nice tatting!
