If you love tatted lace, jewellery, plants and anything handcrafted, come back often.
I will regularly post items that are made by me, plants that I grow and interesting things that I photograph.

Completed Hanky Edgings #1, #2 and #3
I wanted to post these earlier but the thought of washing, blocking and ironing didn't really appeal to me. I also needed to get a board large enough for blocking the hanky. Now what did they say about lazy bones?
I was also experimenting how best to display the hanky for photographs. For more info about the pattern and thread details, check out the previous posts here - #1, #2, #3.
I just love embroidered hankies and the tatted edgings really complement them. As far as photos, the one with the butterfly plate is especially eye-catching as is the one with the wall pocket (? not sure of name). It's hard to feature the tatting design as well as the embroidery without something taking a back seat. What a lovely collection!
Just think, years from now someone is going to find one or more of these and caress it while imagining whose loving and talented hands it came from just like I do with vintage lace. Beautiful! Hugs,Pat
Thank you all for the lovely comments and your preferences for the photos. The hankies are too beautiful to use as a hanky but very decorative on a dresser or in a cupboard showing off pretty tea cups.
Linda, I bought the hanky with the embroidery.
Fox, The first hanky edging tatted up fast but #2 and #3 took a longer time.
Pat, I would not mind if someone created something beautiful from it, like you do with lace in your CQs.
they are absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful work as always! The hankies are all just gorgeous - and the photos are teriffic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely display of hankies! I especially like your posy pocket at the top!
ReplyDeleteI have three hankies in progress right now, including the pretty blue rose hanky from you. I think I'd better get tatting!

ReplyDeleteSo pretty! You did a wonderful job (but I surely don't envy you having to block all those edgings).
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, they look wonderful all together!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty and love the embroidery. Linda
ReplyDeleteThose are the prettiest hankies I have ever seen - so delicate and I love the pastel colours.
ReplyDeleteYour edgings and are perfect and I cannot believe you have finished all these while I am lumping along with that red - oh why red? -border!
Witness full blown hankie anxiety! : ))
