This year at Pioneer Acres Annual Show they featured John Deere Tractors and Farm Equipment, Celebrating 100 Years of the Model D Tractor. There were over 100 tractors and equipment on display. I usually bring my shuttles and demo tatting for the three days of the show and this year I thought I would tat a tractor. As the date drew close one of my tatting friends said it had already been done. So began my search for a tatted tractor and I found one.
Grandpa's tractor is a pattern designed by Tamie Alliss dedicated to her grandfather. I ordered the pattern but it would not arrive in time for the show so I made one up. I used the John Deere colors of yellow and green in Omega thread. (Not the greatest thread to tat with IMHO).
I also enjoyed tatting with "Batty Tatter" who dropped by for a visit and gifted me a find from a garage sale.
I can't wait to try these yummy threads.
Nice job.
ReplyDeleteNice tractor! Gorgeous threads. Hope you enjoy them. :)

Oh well done, perfect John Deere, just right for the occasion!
ReplyDeleteI love the tractor!! You find the greatest things to tat!! I agree about the Omega thread, however my best tatting buddy here in Monterey prefers tatting with it, so I gifted all my Omega to her. I think I have Lizbeth in that color combination..... or maybe I'll have to order some ;)
