Mark My Words

Over the past year whilst visiting other countries I have been very fortunate to meet some extremely talented people who, like myself, also have their own tatting blogs.  One of the many was Sharren, I was in her class at Tat Days last September.  In May she adapted  Mary Konior's pattern 'Mark-my-words' pattern, so immediately I followed her suggestions. However, what with holiday and catching up with my many commitments, I wasn't able to get back to her next adaptation, until now.  Although I might have just altered it even more!   


In June whilst in Singapore we met up with Val and she kindly took us out for a meal. Now Val hasn't posted on her blog for sometime, the main reason for this is that she has been very busy.  Val has incredible energy and is constantly on the go, learning new things to do with her working life or other crafts, she is a joy to be with. I hope that when we next visit Singapore we will be able to meet up again.


 A rare glimpse of 'im in the garage' -  he was let out on this occasion and allowed to travel!

  3. You and Val look as if you are having great fun. 'Im in the garage' is harder to read, but certainly seems to have a twinkle in his eye!

    Lovely motif.

  8. Lovely picture! - but in my mind's eye, 'im in the garage has always been perched on a high stool, surrounded by tools and piles of wood - it's a bit like seeing a bus driver in mufti!

    1. Hi Rhonda the original pattern for 'Mark my words' was taken from Mary Konior's book 'A Pattern Book of Tatting' published in 1985
