Thank you, Margaret, for always commenting and letting me know your opinion. I wish we lived closer to each other so we could share a cuppa and tat!!!
DeleteHappy Valentines Day!! Love the heart and all the others you have been posting lately! Someday I will have to try tatting with the Valdani silk threads. I use the Pearl 8 cotton Valdani for CQing.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that the quality and caliber of your designs inspire me greatly. I am a fairly new tatter (just 3 months) and was a bit scared about adding beads and crystals to my tatting. I came across your blog about a week ago, and I am now ready to take the next step. Reading your posts and seeing your designs has taught me so much. I am headed to our local bead shop tomorrow to get started, and thanks to you, I now know what sizes, the different types and finishes will look best (i.e glass beads lend an elegant feel to finished pieces and capture the light so much nicer than acrylic or plastic beads) Thank you so much for your hard work, generosity and inspiration! Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteRegina,
DeleteIt's always so humbling to hear how I've inspired someone. Let me know how your experiments with the beads go!
Hi Rachel,
DeleteI made some amazing purchases at the our local bead shop...I bought swarovski elements, really beautiful fresh water pearls, and czech beads, as well as a starter beading kit for my 5 year old daughter. I followed your Rosalie pendant pattern, and gave the finished item to my 13 year old daughter who absolutely adores it! (she tats and crochets, like I do) The best part about it all though, was the time we all spent together yesterday creating beauty and art, as well as cherished memories, using nothing more than thread, yarn, beads and our hands. :-) Have a wonderful weekend!
Your work is amazing and inspiring! Your tutorial on interlocking rings was amazing and I use it alot in my designs now. Thank you.
ReplyDeletePati,
DeleteI'm so glad to hear the interlocking ring tutorial helped! I love using them in my designs and look forward to seeing your work.
Happy Valentine's Day to you, too! I love your work! Celtic tatting is so beautiful, one of these days I'll feel comfortable enough with my skills to tackle it. You're a major inspiration for me, not just with the knotwork but also the colors and the added bits of beads and buttons, etc.
ReplyDeletebriddie,
DeleteKeep practicing and furthering your skills. You'll be able to get it!
Happy Valentine's Day! I really enjoy seeing your work. It is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteAwesome design and selection of both the thread and button. I love the eye candy you share, Peace and happy tatting
ReplyDeleteRachel, I love seeing your beautiful designs. They are inspiring. Thank you for sharing so many of your patterns with us. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

ReplyDeleteLove your tatting. Love the patterns. Wish they were all in one place. Been trying to get use to using my tatting needles again. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day Rachel, you always show us such pretty things. I enjoy seeing the new techniques, and the way you add beads and other findings.
ReplyDeleteI must say that I loved the first posting of this design! I was absolutely amazed. Then the next day, I thought interesting! The third day I was sad. You almost could not see the original cross. But today, even with the original cross hiding, it turned out amazing. You always do such beautiful work. I dream of the day I can come close!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Betty!!!
DeleteI love how you take a basic design and change/add to it to make something entirely different. You are amazing. Your designs are beautiful and so inspirational.
