Tat Along Challenge - Tischband by Ruth Scharf


Are you fascinated by this pattern called Tischband by Ruth Scharf? I am starting a Tat-Along using this Ruth Scharf's pattern.


If you have her book Occhi (Book 1), please refer to the Tischband pattern and tat along with me. You can tat just one repeat or as many as you want.

If you do not have Ruth's book, not to worry as Ruth has so kindly given special permission to share that pattern with you here.

I have been tatting flower medallions or what Ruth calls Blute 1.  In the Tischband pattern, you tat multiples of Blute 1 and Blatt 2.

If you would like to join the tat-along, just leave a comment on this post. Anyone can join and all we ask of you is to post your progress on your blog so that we can show Ruth the progress of the Tat-Along. 

It would be fun to see the results of different tatters from all over the world. So if you are up for it, join in. There is no time limit, so no pressure, tat along at your own pace.

    This pattern is so beautiful! I'm not sure that I have enough skill to tat it but I would like to try! And I do not have this book, so I need the pattern :)

    I would love to Wendy. but I have committed to several other tatting projects at the moment, so will not be able to. however, I really like Ruth's patterns for leaf shapes. have fun with your tat-a-long. I don't have any of Ruth's books, so will have to watch for them.

    Mariya,
    Don't worry about it. I am sure we can help each other. I think it looks more difficult than it is.

    Diane,
    Tat at your own pace but we can enocourage each other on.

    Tattabug,
    Pattern will be available soon. Watch this space.

    Julie,
    I think it is going to be fun!

    Fox,
    So happy you decided to join in.

    Sharon,
    If you can't find the book, no worries.

    Karen,
    These flower medallions are easy and after one or two, you do not need the pattern anymore.

    Ladytats,
    You can join us when you can and even you tat one repeat, it would be fun!!

    Thank you all for joining in.

    This is a great idea. I'd love to join in, but probably won't get around to producing anything for a month or two. I'm swamped with other projects right now, but really want to try one of Ruth's patterns and this is a great opportunity. Thanks for hosting this!

    I am hoping to join in, since I have the book. I'll have to wait until Jane's TIAS is over so I don't have too many things going on at once, but then I will try to catch up.

    Hello Cindy and Martha,

    Slow and steady wins the race. Just kidding, there is no race. We just want to see lots and lots of different versions of Tischband.

    Please join us, Spinning Tatter. The flowers are very addictive to tat and after one, you can do it without the pattern.
