...Finally! My Dream Kitchen Curtains Completed!

I had began this cute project over a year ago. I bartered with this one Farmgirl at MJF Connection. She had piles and piles of these old hankies that needed a good home.  My home! I already had in mind how these lovelies were going to be used.


So what does a gal like Karrieann do with some of these?



 Well, I hand stitched them into a quaint curtain for my Kitchen door.
That is what I did!



I love how they look! (This shot is without the use of flash)


What took so long to get these beauty up?  It took me this long to get the needed curtain rod! I live in this small town and only one store carried these rods. At times they didn't have the size that I wanted and I forget to get them at times! Last night these hankies were placed into their place of honor. This is the door that get used more than any other doors and will remind me daily of the generosity of people, people who have kind heart. Thank you Farmgirl "antoinette"!


* Revelation 3:20
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, 
I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

Karrieann your curtain is lovely!! What a great idea and I am so glad you were able to use the
hankies!! I would have posted on your blog, but those things are a mystery to me. I can look at
them but have failed at trying to post something on them. Your tatting is gorgeous, another one
of those things I would love to learn, but alas I am all thumbs. Farmgirl Hugs Toni

...A New Book That Surged My Tatting Fingers On!

Image
 I have few books for tatting instructions ...how to Celtic, how to needle, how to shuttle and numerous pages of patterns for tatting from online, doily this, edging that, motif those. I wanted something more or different to do. After Christmas I batted my puppy dog eyes (hubby says they are) at Hubby for a book that I wanted for Christmas but did not get. He faltered (I am so bad, I knew he would) and said for me to order it. I ordered it and it arrived sometime last week. I have been tatting my fingers off with glee! After all, this girl here received lots of threads and shuttles for Christmas... from that sweet Hubby! The book that I had to have was,    A TATTER'S WORKBOOK, edited by J&K. Kliot Approximately 172 patterns, 112 pages. Includes corner and straight edgings, medallions, round doily borders,collar border. This is a most unusual and fascinating collection of tatting patterns as recorded in a New England notebook by an anonymous tatter in the 1920's. The pa

...To Chain or Not To Chain!

I have been tatting my heart out since the Palmetto Tatting Guild's Tat Days this past year. I have come a long ways since. I have researched on tattings and tried many patterns... I still am, to improve my abilities and develop "my style". My daughter has become an amazing tatter in jewelry with updated modern twist. She just amazes me to no end. As my confidence grew, my style is also growing. Maybe I should say preferences instead of style. I have learned that I do not "like" to create things without patterns. I am not "into" making things other than doilies and edgings but if needed to will do the other things. I also am not at all keen on tatting with the ball of thread, multiple shuttles, ends and sewing in ends... I like doing one shuttle, less stuff to fuss with.  Now with that said.. I prefer rings and chains. So I had to make a compromise with myself and use the ball or use the second shuttle as the ball. Then again, I am falling in love wi
