Thanksgiving Day Tatted Lace

 America's pilgrims set aside a day at the end of harvest to thank God for all they have, even in there struggles. We still celebrate this day calling it Thanksgiving Day!  




words in picture " When we give thanks in all things, we see hardships and adversities in the context of the purpose of life." by Dallin H Oaks.
After making the fall leaves from two different patterns, still deciding how to arrange them. All are size 40 lizbeth colors.
This little beauty is from "le blogde frivole"  fun a quick after you get hang of it. 


The larger maple leaf is from a book called "Celtic Tatting" leaves and flowers.


She does a wonderful job of explaining the twist and encourages you to experiment with making your own style for fun. After the first two I made one in about and hour and a half.


This one is a play one a little to bumpy hers looks better.

Idea of the size here.
                                                
This is another way to arrange, but I really plan on stitching the words in, I think :) I was also thinking of tatting more leaves and connecting them for a doily or bowl shape.

  7. Fabulous tatting, patterns & colours ! Autumn leaves are Always so vibrant.
    I like the first (top) arrangement of leaves - as if radiating from the quotation, although the bottom (framed) arrangement is probably more natural as strewn about in the ground.
    A real visual treat, Carollyn, & happy Thanksgiving :-)
