Happy ITD

April 1 marks International Tatting Day and tatters around the world are encouraged to celebrate and participate by tatting in public.  For some reason unbeknownst to me eating chocolate is also involved. I celebrated with tatting at home and chocolate was involved. I also attended the online tatting class which is always a pleasure to reconnect with other tatters.

Speaking of other tatters this lovely maple leaf arrived yesterday as part of an exchange from another tatter in Canada.  She is reminded of maple syrup time which means that Spring has arrived.  If you have ever spent a winter in Canada you will know how wonderful the first signs of Spring feel.

I have heard that my exchange has also arrived to the home of a tatter in the UK.

What did you do for ITD?

Georgia's Heart

I've been taking some classes, online tatting classes. My teacher is Georgia Seitz and she leads the classes, coordinates guest teachers, provides patterns, teases us with eye candy, distributes the weeks lesson, updates the website and so much more.

This heart is from last week's class and is the logo from her website, The Online Tatting Class.  It can also be found in Book 4 of her Ribbonwinners series, "Tatting on the Edge... and Beyond."

I tatted this with DMC Christmas Red size 80 thread and it fits nicely on one of my crochet hearts.

Remember that International Tatting Day takes place on Friday April 1, 2016.  I've heard that Chocolate goes good with tatting but any treat would be nice.

So make plans now to tat with a buddy that day or tat in public and share the art of tatting to others. The world can always use another tatter.
