This is an 8" large block and I only embellished a small part. I wonder what it will grow up to be with other additions from someone else?
So first I added a simple tatted edging of rings and picots (which would look lovely with some added beadwork I think) and then edged the bamboo circle with metallic beads. I then added my signature metallic web and made a beaded spider. You can just see a gold trim I added for one of the seams too.
Then I tatted my first dragonfly from Riet's pattern and added a variety of beads for body parts. I think this would look more dramatic if I could find the same beads but in various shapes and sizes - WOW!!! And then I added the butterfly from the NSAN tatting groups pattern Butterflies are Forever Free.
Yes I love this so far and would LOVE to see it in it's finished state.

Hey, Rose Anne - your tatting has really improved!!! All the bits and pieces are the same size now! Just like the pattern says!
ReplyDeleteI am starting to come out of my bad spell now. I always like when that happens!
The quilt block looks very nice. I like the color scheme and the tatting looks great on the block. Love the tatted dragonfly.
