Becky commented on my blog that she would really like to stitch the Stitching Prairie Fairie that I stitched about a month ago. So I did the next best thing ;) I got another copy from Jean's Needle Little Love during here recent SALE!
I tatted a little cross bookmark for Becky in Size 20 and added a tassle. As I have said before the results of tatting in Size 20 can be a little undelicate, but I did not want to tat in 40 as then the cross will be too tiny.
Becky emailed me a wonderful thank you note and am glad to hear that her eyes are mending well but she is taking it easy. She is a wise one :) Her blog and all her creations made from the heart and through her hands have been an inspiration to me. I now strive to stitch a little more neatly :p, to finish a little more cleverly ;) and to love it all a little more dearly :)
Thank you Becky.
I think the bookmark is lovely! Becky is a treasure and what a great gift.

Lovely, lovely work Barbara! Tatting to me is a real art - I think I tried it once years ago but couldn't do it very well. Your cross is just beautiful as well as the color. I'm glad to see someone tatting as not too many people do anymore. We have to keep all these needlework arts alive and well!
ReplyDeleteYes, Becky is an inspiration for me also.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely gift. xx
ReplyDeleteBarbara, thank you for the nice comments on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThe bookmark is lovely!!
Your tatting is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my blog. Love your tatting. Your bookmark is beautiful. This is something that I have been trying to teach my self for many years. I had an old Aunt who tried to teach me when my 19 year old son was a baby but I had to many distractions at the time. Every now and then I get my book out and have a go. I think I need more staying power. I'm goo d at making rings. One day when I'm on my own I will try again.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift for Becky!
