WELCOME ANY TIME I will have to tat it and ask questions if I get stuck ok that is a good plan So beautiful carmen if we did not use buttons what kind of beads would work? any beads with giant holes you think? For the final round, she says join to the final SS ring. I think maybe to the first one unless I'm mistaking can you pinpoint the line for us to mark? Where Martha? Ceramic beads with flat sides up & botton and a design on top How about those gem-stone flat donut shaped rings. so anykindo f bead that is flat bottomed at least and with hole in direct center? ok last page-- Shuttle wount CTM and start with lock join in the mid p of last SS ring ok got it thanks Join to the first one martha? what other addition could be done with beads? what if there were no buttons at all just all long picots Yes, the hole goes in the center of the bead and you gather them in the center and do needle weaving? that's what I wanted to know--no buttons in the holes I'l bet it could be done *** Tatter895 has joined #tatchat I think you need to join to the point next to the first upper motif, Paule welcome 895 please sign in *** Tatter895 is now known as joy joy welcome pull up the bean bag chair joy in sc Hi, Joy hi joy good to see you we are discussing Mary Maynards heat will do (sguish) Thanks Martha well noted http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2006/maynardheart.html hello donata!!!!! we are thinking of replacements ideas for the buttons hi martha! 12Joy: Good to see you it is nice to see you JOy it has been a long time hope this mary maynards heaRt Might make interesting negative space with regular size picots hi goldy 10those pretty metal filagree disk that Jane sometimes uses? back in the old days the class did some tatting and needleweaving studies www.georgiaseitz.com/weave/needleweavetat.html and mary don... too! hmm a hole in the heart?? i still have my needle woven sample from that class : ) I don't know that filigree disk 12How about start with a smaller motif in place of the buttons? but I was also thinking red faux cinnabar chinese and jade discs How about leaving the holes in appliqueing the heart onto some pretty fabric? oh Sharon that is clever 10they are around and lacy looking, with whole through out... good ideas Sherong I like your idea maby chinese coins? the ones with the square whole in them 12Or even something like a butterfly and join to the wings? ...butterfly...

LoL thanks for the info adn bella online has a bunch too http://www.bellaonline.com/subjects/2518.asp 12If it gets too bad I just poke them with a knitting needle your mahjong partners? you poke with a knitting needle But this is tatting! Bobbins don't poke either! lol lol 12No - folks who think tatting is dying and I am crazy because I knit and tat not sure they would like that lol ouch 12And my mother wouldn't have liked it if I poked our mahjong partners at all 10I had a lady in the craft store today tell me that...I set her straight. ahhhhhh what ! tatting is dying was that after you knocked her over Linda? 10I told her about your online tatting class. or before? lol 10no, not quite...I was a little shocked when she said it. I hope you made a scene 12Why bother knocking them over - just start laughing and ask where they heard such a rediculous thing you should have called the tattin gpolice good one sheron! 10no...I just took it in stride. unfortunatly it is just not as common to see a tatter sitting at the playground watching kids as it is knitters offer to teach her free 10ROFL... local stores here have a little more tatting lately The word "FREE" is the key. 10I learned to needletat from this store.. well we certainly thank mary for sharing this beautiful pattern with the online tatting class Have you seen bead knitted dresses for dolls? What about tatted dresses? I carry Joy's shoe strings to show then how simple they are! 12Of course I also give folks who make funny/strange phone calls the proper place to call. I am so sorry she was not here to tell us about it I've offered to teach a couple of people--but they don't think they could learn. It's sad! 12Got to have some fun with folks like that there was one in workbasket once carmen great pattern tonight 10yes, Mary did a wonderful job creating this heart. but i don't recall any recent doll dresses i agree martha 12Tatted barbie dress: There was one in a Workbasket mag. Don't remember which one I HOPE EVERYONE HAS SEEN THE NEW ITEMS ADDED TO THE PUBLIC DOMAIN Does anyone know what's going on with Tatchat? I haven't gotten a digest lately? THANKS TO SHERON AND ALL THOSE WHO ARE SHARING OLDIES TATTING BOOKS WITH US NO I DON'T KNOW ABOUT TAT CHAT hey tatters we must realise that not evrybody can tat yes I tried to down load 10there was a pattern for a Barbie doll dress in one of my newsletters that I get, don't remember which one.

I have a Barbi wedding gown and brides maid tatted dess pattern from Workbasket. I have a problem with my Adobe Reader 7.0. Every time I pull up one of the things in the public domain, my computer locks up. ARE YOU DOING THE RIGHT CLICK?? 10that's probably the same one... Do You have the web address for Prof Griswold 12Try saving it to your computer, then print. I have also heard some folks are finding stuff taking a long time to download We had people come in to be taught and they just did not have the nimble fingers to learn and have pleasure Maybe that's what I forgot to do this time.
