This was today's lesson for the online tatting class. I finished it before class so that I could better follow along in class. Unfortunately my access to the class has been denied so I could not attend today. Furthermore, I never did receive any response to my emails for assistance. So perhaps, I will try again this evening.
This is my first attempt at block tatting and I have ever so many questions about this pattern. Some things were confusing and I don't know if I did them correctly.
It is an absolutely gorgeous pattern by Sue Hanson called "Block Tatted Heart".
I can definately use a little more practice too.
I was happy to see that Jon also posted about this pattern.
I will be taking a block tatting class at "Shuttlebirds" this year...so hopefully I can get my questions answered and become proficient with this tatting method soon.
Also, ETatters has a new tatting site with a different format. I like it much better than the old one. It is kind of run "blogstyle". I haven't had much time to sit down, explore and get comfortable with the site yet. But it seems very promising.

Very pretty! Vickie's Lilacs?
Yes! You guessed it Diane! Good eye!
I can never get into class either. The last suggestion was to disable my firewall which didn't work in the past and I didn't have time to try it again tonight. You'll like block tatting - looks like you did fine with Sue's heart.

I couldn't get in either, but I did print the pattern and will tat it when Isaac gets better. I love block tatting and I think I will like Jane's method even better. Very pretty.
Your heart is very pretty! The thread color is gorgeous!!
You did fine with the heart. And lovely colour thread.
I've never tried making anything with blocks before. I still need to try more before I am comfortable with it, and then maybe incorporate in my designs.
