One of the local guilds I belong to has given us a summer challenge, we are to do a project base on this quote.
This was the push I needed to make some flowers that I have wanted to make since I took a class at Shuttlebirds in 2018. My first flower is from Mary Konior "Tatting with Visual Patterns" pgs 66 and 67. You create a circle of petals and assemble. I added a bead and then wound the petals around. I had two threads so I just tied them in a knot at the bottom. I may add a calyx.
I was just using up some extra crochet cotton size 10 that was on a teaching Tatsy shuttle so this flower is large. I lightly starched the cotton with white school glue and water .
