Omar Bentley tatted this sample of the edging.

What's new is old. What's old is new. So true. Let's take a look at a pattern by Tina Frauberger from 1921 in which the self-closing mock ring and floating rings are used. And, here we thought those were "recent" innovations!

 Maria has truly mastered the one shuttle work and her regularity in picots and bare thread spaces is wonderful.

It appears that many tatters have struggled with measuring the bare thread spaces in the mignonette tatting from Jan. 11 and the netted heart from Jan. 18. So let's work another one ring pattern. This was a study project from the Lace Museum pieces. It was shared at IOLI 2009 and with the LACE guild newsletter this month.

Homework: Sandy Cofer


Pattern from 1997 IOLI Bulletin



Designed by Karey Solomon and Bev Dillon


With directions to enlarge the pattern learned from Bev Dillon at Spokane Shuttlebirds Workshop 2009.

Maria from Mexico decided the length of the bare thread space between the tiny rings is too large and she is reworking this heart.


Gina is reworking the pattern



Two samples by Gina




Katie Verna writes:
Here's my version of the netted heart. It is my first time for mignonette tatting. As you can see, the thread spaces vary in size. All in all, I enjoyed doing it and love your version doing it without T&C in the middle. Very clever!
The heart is tatted with Marilee's Pizzazz in size 20 and measures 4x4.5 inches. Should have used Jane E's method of adding the bead between rings, sliding the bead over the picot, instead of sliding it up during the making of the ring. Also, I twisted a couple of the mignonette rings during attachment to the border. Guess all this means I should do it again!!
Nina Richardson encountered the same trouble with keeping the bar thread space regular.
