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.
