    Love what you ladies have done. Robins fly away from us when the weather changes so we will be without until Spring time. I hate the changing of the clock--my body never adjusts so I am always feeling like I have lost sleep. Sorry my post was late

            Anne--I tried for years to learn tatting with a shuttle and was unable to do it. I saw a sign where they assured me they could teach me to tat in 2 minutes. I went in and they did teach me--needle tatting. I love it.

            Wendy--this is actually crochet with thin crochet threads that has sequins on it. They did hold their blocking because of the stiffener I used.

              Ritzi...what were the crochet pieces to be...when blocked? :roll: That blue one is beautiful.

              Comment


                Ritzy, They are beautiful. Wouldn't they be used kinda scrunched up, anyways, so who cares (except you) that they de-blocked?

                I love the snow flakes, oh, and you can tat? Wow-eee!

                Comment


                  Ritzy, I am sorry your projects didn't turn out to your satisfaction. How were they intended to be used? The snowflakes are lovely. Are they crocheted or tated? My mother did some crochet work and often used starch when she blocked the work. Maybe you don't want the finished product to be stiff.

                  Comment


                    The blue and green pieces are knitted and were meant to be a scarf and shawl. So, I didn't want them to be stiff. The snowflakes are crocheted and are stiff so they can hang on a Christmas tree without wilting.

                      Couldn't find the piece I planned on finishing...... ops:

                      but I did make this instead
                      A pouch for my tablet to travel in. Earlier this year I decided to do a variation on Bonnie Hunter's crumb piecing and cut myself a load of scrap paper into 2.5" strips and started to cover them with scraps from my dedicated scrap box (after organising said scrap box - you know, put all the scraps in one place instead of lots of separate ones :wink: ) Then last week I decided that I actually wanted to make something for the fun of it (I have been remarkably unproductive this summer) The inside is a piece cut from a workshop fmq sample/scrap and the outside is strips of crumbs. I am vaguely considering adding some clamshell hand quilting, which could get interesting trying to do, but don't hold me to it :lol:

                        Not quite the same plan as the CW challenge, but we could make 2015 as the year of the quilted birthday cards?

                              Very nice Rosemary - and useful too!

                              So are we going with Selfies? And if so what's the deadline Wendy? Is it December 1st? That's 2 months just about which is what the last two were I think?

                              Comment


                                You're in charge this time so yes that's fine but you can't count we're in November now :lol: Do you want to make it 1st Jan.
