Ii've had to give up space in my already small craft room so that we can have an 'office' in there! My sewing machine is now hidden behind some 'in and out' boxes, and I'm not sure where my knitting needle container is at the moment!Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36719882.post-10150379238758931982010-10-05T01:43:54.121-04:002010-10-05T01:43:54.121-04:00The angel so many of you are asking about is from ...The angel so many of you are asking about is from the Nativity book by Ineke Kuiperij. She is a friend of Riet at http://bengelblog.blogspot.com/ and I believe Riet can help you order the book. (She has other books too.)<br /><br />The text in in Dutch, but there are diagrams. I had a list of Dutch-to-English tatting terms that I think came with the book. I remember having a little trouble understanding the Mary pattern, but the rest were not that difficult. I made the whole set in size 80 a few years ago.<br /><br />I had to give up basket weaving when we moved to a smaller place and I could not find room for all the reed. Maybe again someday...<br /><br />This was just my second year at the fair. I'm hoping to see more competition next time.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902036588224843966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36719882.post-48187250756369642402010-10-04T21:27:28.277-04:002010-10-04T21:27:28.277-04:00This is quite an assortment of crafts that you ent...This is quite an assortment of crafts that you entered! Congratulations on your ribbons, and for your efforts in getting tatting seen 'out there'. <br /><br />I'm glad they allow items done in the past so that you could enter that cool basket. I've seen baskets being made, but it hurts my hands to think about it! <br /><br />I also very much admire the sweet angel from the Nativity. It's nice to see it 'close up'. Having an interest in 3-D items, I love the way this was designed and put together. I believe you used size 80 thread, which is awesome! I'm curious when the pattern was published and how you acquired it.<br /><br />Have you ever entered your teapot or heart patterns? Not to mention your 'block tatted' critters. Your work and designs are wonderful and very unique.Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36719882.post-11468776104006706792010-10-04T18:58:18.787-04:002010-10-04T18:58:18.787-04:00I love what you did with the ange.

But it does keep tatting in the public eye and that's important to me. I was told once again the other day, by a friend who should know better, that I'm doing a dying art.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127914310809216760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36719882.post-9517059758719963312010-10-03T21:39:56.457-04:002010-10-03T21:39:56.457-04:00Congrats.
