A cross

I can't believe how much attention this cross has received since I started wearing it.  Although it was ages ago since it came off my shuttles and was sadly put away forgotten and unloved! Then about 6 weeks ago I bought a dress and suddenly discovered the cross and found that it was the exact colour of the a dress, which was amazing!  The pattern was one that I designed myself, originally for earrings in fact at one point I may have even had earrings to match!  



This morning I went to a coffee morning and was showing a group of people my latest tatting and have now got an order.  It is for a snowflake which I am going to turn into a pendant, will post another time.

  1. It’s very striking - certainly doesn’t deserve to languish in a box!

    1. Sadly Jane it languished in a pile of tatting before! It is having the respect it deserves now!

  3. I I think putting tatting in boxes must be a family trait! Jane is always saying that most of her work ends up in a box. The cross is really lovely, I like the large bead at the top. Will it need to be stiffened?

    1. Maureen, this is one thing I am now trying to avoid now, putting things away and never using them! No actually the beads make it quite stiff, so it stays in place.
