Weekly Challenge #14 – Sweetheart Snowflake

This week’s pattern is a variation of Gina Butler’s Garter pattern. This variation was created by Natalie Rogers. It is shared here with Gina’s permission. The idea for a snowflake came to me as I was working through Gina’s lovely garter pattern. I had hoped to have it ready for you last week as a “Christmas in July” type post, but my computer did not cooperate with me. So here it is a week later. I hope you enjoy it!

I haven’t written up very many patterns – so please tell me if you find a mistake or have suggestions. Thanks!

Weekly Challenge #13 – Ringtrim – a Microdragon

This week’s pattern was designed by Anne Bruvold. Anne’s Flying Minor Norwegian Dragon was featured as Challenge #2. Anne created Ringtrim for tatters to practice their tatted rings. This pattern utilizes both single shuttle split rings and split rings. The wing also allows tatters to practice throwing a ring off of a split ring. If you choose to work in a single color you can get away with just split rings, but I encourage you to make him as directed at least once.

A special thanks to Shuttlebirds Guild Member, Denice Lewis, for bringing this cute pattern to my attention! You can see several dragons Denice tatted and shared at our last guild meeting in the reader submissions section below.

Historic Skills Fair 2013 – Cataldo Mission

Last weekend, I had the privilege of demonstrating tatting at the Historic Skills Fair. It was a nice relaxing day of tatting, teaching, and chatting. In fact, it was such a relaxed atmosphere that I forgot to take any photos until the event was over.

The mission overlooks a marvelous view and I had just found a setting on my phone’s camera that I didn’t know it had. So I managed to snap a few pictures of the view and none of the actual fair.

Luckily, one of the park staff managed to snap a couple photos at our booth. She took a shot of Jan’s tatting display, the baby booties I am working on, and Patti’s hands demonstrating a reverse half-hitch knot.

Jan’s tatting. (Photo used with permission – see the rest here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Coeur-dAlenes-Old-Mission-State-Park/130445330353114?fref=ts)

Patti demonstrating. (Photo used with permission – see the rest here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Coeur-dAlenes-Old-Mission-State-Park/130445330353114?fref=ts)

Baby booties in progress. (Photo used with permission – see the rest here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Coeur-dAlenes-Old-Mission-State-Park/130445330353114?fref=ts)

You can see  the other photos taken of the skill fair on the Coeur d’Alenes Old Mission State Park Facebook page. If you are local, you should add attending next year’s Historic Skills Fair to your calendar (it should be the weekend of the 2nd Sunday of July).

We were between a group of spinners and a gentleman with an interactive tutorial on how to prepare a musket cartridge.

There were many things to experience at the Historic Skills Fair. A gun shot sounded off the hour on Saturday. I wasn’t able to make Sunday, but I’m told that’s when they shot off the cannon on the hour.

There was a young lad demonstrating how to use flint and steel to start a fire. He was really good at it too (tended to take him two minutes or less for each fire he demonstrated).

There was a group of demonstrators explaining the various tools and techniques used to make the Cataldo Mission. I was informed that there were no metal nails used in the construction. They used a joining method with large wooden dowel pieces for nails. The restoration that has been done to the buildings is wonderful. It is a very peaceful place inside the church.

The fair also featured mountain men, several handmade craft vendors, and the Lion’s Club selling food. There was also a spot where you could learn how to make a rag rug.

My favorite booth (aside from our tatting one) was the blacksmith. He had set up a portable forge. The fire was memorizing (I could have easily watched it all day) and I’ve always wanted to learn more about the process. This is one craft I still would like to try my hand at.

Then Sunday was my 6th year wedding anniversary. The only reason I’m including this is because my awesome hubby got me a beautiful handmade shuttle and tatting supplies as my anniversary gift.

Shuttlebirds Spotlight – Tera – Red Doily

Tera has been working on a lovely red doily. Here is the result of her tatting. I really like the motif she used.

Tatted by Tera.

She told me at one point what the pattern was, but I forgot to write it down. I’ve been informed that the pattern is a motif that is on the cover of Easy Tatting by Rozella Linden.

I am always amazed at the larger tatting projects.  I realize how much time and energy goes into them.  I have yet to venture into making a large piece. I am in awe of the people who have and I hope to one day join them in that accomplishment.

Happy tatting!

-Natalie

17th Annual Shuttlebirds Tatting Guild Workshop – 2013, a set on Flickr.

Photos from the 17th Annual Shuttlebirds Tatting Guild Workshop – Angels Among Us – 2013.

There were over 500 photos taken at this year’s workshop (click on the above link to see the rest). Have fun looking at everything that went on. I will edit in the photographer’s information once I get it.

Over the next week I will be adding in the photos from previous years as well.

Shuttlebirds Spotlight – Michele – Tatted Handkerchief Edging

Tatted by Michele Merrill.
Pattern: Hankie Edge from Learn to Tat by Janette Baker.

Michele used the pattern Hankie Edge from Learn to Tat by Janette Baker. She improvised and tatted directly onto the hankie instead of sewing it on as directed.  She used Lizabeth Springtime in size 20.

This was her first handkerchief project. Her finished piece came out lovely!

This is the first post in what I hope will become a regular feature highlighting the tatted works of various Shuttlebirds Tatting Guild members.

Happy tatting!

-Natalie
