Leafy

Leafy

     Going through my new colors.  I found a gorgeous, "leafy" green thread in size 80.  The first years of tatting, I used only size 80 thread and made crosses.   Well....back to beginnings!  Speaking of beginnings, the only thing I tatted was crosses.  I would use up a ball of thread and the thread that was left, I would make up baubles.  I had very few patterns, so I had to make them up as I went.  The only book I had was Lene Bjorn's, "Tatted Bookmarks, Crosses".

     This is the "Universal Bauble," from my first book:  "Baubles and Motifs".  The result of left-over thread.
