Coffee and Cream

When I took this doily to show some people at the Computer Club last week, a person suggested that it be called 'Coffee and Cream' because of the colours.    As you can see I have now tatted another three rounds, but each round seems to be taking me ages to work.




It now measures 17" x 14" and I plan to continue so that it gets a little larger. Although of course the size is now governed by the amount of thread that is left in my stash.

  2. I was thinking the colors remind me of café au lait. It's very pretty.

  9. Sad you're having a break from tatting as I so enjoy seeing your results. Make sure you have a blob of cream in your coffee!!

  10. Oh, my! This looks spectacular! I would be tempted to consider this piece 'finished' - the perfect size and perfect color combinations - and very pleasing to the eye. I have rarely seen rectangular pieces at Fairs (don't know why) and I believe this would be a winner! It's a wonderful example of classic tatted lace!

    I'm always one to suggest taking a break and giving wrists a well deserved rest!
