Thread Give Away Results

We have a winner!  Nancy in Dallas was the lucky recipient of the thread give away!  She was emailed this morning and gave her consent for me to post the other goodies she is receiving.


Nancy's winnings include: a vintage butter pat (not the one pictured as I accidentally broke it while packing her goodies.  I put in another.),  5 antique shell buttons, a small bag of size 15 Miyuki rocailles in "Fancy Lime Green", a small bag of size 10 seed beads in "Rainbow Peach", DMC floss bobbins, a skein of Wildflowers thread in "Celadon", the tatted pendant/scissors fob and the thread & tatting needles featured in the prior blog post.  Thanks for following the blog Nancy!  Enjoy your goodies!

For some reason, I accomplished little tatting today.  I did begin on the 3rd round of the Valdani doily.  Here it is in process along with the counts I'm using:


Join to very small - of previous round & CH2-2 CL + to very small - adjacent, CH5 (9 even picots) 5 CL +  Continue around motif.
I hope to have more to show y'all tomorrow!!!

The thread give away was so much fun, I think I'll do another give away.  What would you like?  More thread and surprise goodies or a tatted piece?  Let me know in the comments and I'll post what the next give away will be tomorrow.

Happy Tatting!
