I am back from the Shuttlebirds Workshop at Ross Point Camp and Conference Center. I had a real treat taking a course from Heidi Nakayama and produced this Dora Young motif. Using a size 20 thread the blocked motif measures just shy of 4" square. It would make a perfect coaster.
There is one split chain, you can see it at the 9 o'clock position. The pinwheels are made up of lock joins and you use a few new techniques to move the thread over one to create the pinwheel effect.
The pattern is on Page 16 and 17 of All New Knotless Tatting Designs.

I also took another course from Heidi but she has asked me not to post a picture so you will need to see me in person for that one.
I participated in the Poker Run with Natalie and even completed a small blossom for the competition. I will tell you more about that in another post.
I brought home new books, threads and even a few shuttles.
The venue, food and classes were once again well organized and each mealtime we were gifted little goodies. I just want to thank Patti D and the rest of the Shuttlebirds for a totally awesome time at Ross Point. I hope to see you all again next year.

Wow, beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteStunning and so beautiful
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI love your colour choice, Bernice. It's a fascinating pattern and one which I keep returning to. I'd love to meet Heidi one day.
ReplyDeleteThe colors were by accident, I had the orange wound but then the ball I wanted to use was a size 40 so I had purchased some colors for flowers and this is what ended up. Mimi D did the same thing and I let her wind a shuttle full of blue. She gave me a moonlit shuttle, best to use something with a hook due to all the lock joins.
DeleteCome to Shuttlebirds Jane and you can meet Heidi. :)
DeleteReally impressive motif. Sounds like a good trip. .
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit of a drive but worth every minute.
DeleteCheers,
Bernice
Wow this is great and excellent work I am afraid I could not do this without some help. It look great❤🌹❤
ReplyDeleteVery nice work. I don't see the split chain, so it worked! Some day I want to go to Shuttlebirds. I am lucky to be close to Tat Days in Georgia.
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to seeing you again next year Bernice.
ReplyDeleteOh you must think of going, perhaps combining the trip with another NW adventure.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I have that book but have not been game to try it.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome motif!!! :)
