She is growing so quickly!<br /><br />Looks like Shuttlebirds was great fun. <br /><br />I think the DMC you used is comparable to their larger gauge pearl cotton-size 5 or 3. I have not tried tatting with it, but love working with their 'precious metal effects' and 'light effects' flosses. I use two strands instead of one as a single strand seems to resist sliding well when closing a ring; maybe because I tat tightly. <br /><br />I also like to use a strand of 'effects' thread with a single strand of DMC 'satin' floss for delicate, dressy motives. The 'effects' threads also blends well with the more commonly used tatting threads.<br /><br />Thanks again for giving us a view of the Shuttlebirds gathering.Randihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358081715271962886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016156828945610244.post-58078518159164723412012-04-26T17:16:19.329-06:002012-04-26T17:16:19.329-06:00Oh, how I would love to have been there!

I find it ironic you were next to Krystle. I know the two of you look like sisters!<br /><br />Next, your table looked so nice, with your mugs and shuttles, not to mention your books and threads!<br /><br />Ironically I used that same gold thread on YOUR <br />Treble clef pattern, back in 2010 (shown on my blog!)! I also like DMC's gold thread on a spool, which is equivalent to size 30. It's sturdy also.<br /><br />Wonderful photo of adorable Miss P. How special to have her with you at Shuttlebirds!<br /><br /> Was Mary McCarthy there? I have always been curious about her tatting history but know little about her. She had several patterns in the few magazines back in the 1990s, and I enjoyed tatting them.<br /><br /><br /><br />SKathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016156828945610244.post-78061432948264577472012-04-26T15:39:35.604-06:002012-04-26T15:39:35.604-06:00looks like fun. wish I lived closer.
I like that ...looks like fun. wish I lived closer. <br />I like that DMC thread too, but haven't tatted with it for several years. your pattern is gorgeous. I will have to download it and give it a try once I finish a couple other things. your pendant from Krystle's pattern is super cute. have fun wearing it. <br />what a fun package from Jess, she is so generous.Ladytatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333655818263465112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8016156828945610244.post-60914755429772202762012-04-26T15:10:26.258-06:002012-04-26T15:10:26.258-06:00Aww!
