I have been tatting 3 hanky edgings since August. I have finally finished all three edgings. Previous post on this was here and here. This handkerchief was given to me by Gina of Threads of a Tatting Goddess from this post here. This hanky is embroidered on all 4 corners with pink roses. They are so pretty. Thank you Gina!
I chose this edging No. 8 pattern from Kirstine Nikolajsen and Inge Lise Nikolajsen's 'Tatted Handkerchiefs' book and adpated it to fit the scallops on this hanky. I love how the edging ruffles. The first photo shows the edging which I pinned and blocked straight but it looked a little strange so I washed the hanky again and let the edging dry naturally. Does it look better?
And Isdihara, I did notice tatting in the Downton Abbey ladies' collar. Do you think they would feature my tatting-edged hanky? Now, that would be a dream!!
Thank you for all your lovely comments for Hanky Edging #5. I will definitely think about them when I tat the next edging. Diane, it may be sometime next year.
That edging is just so precious and perfect for the hanky. I am working on my hanky from Gina, now that I have gotten the thread while at Palmetto Tat Days!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! The thread colors match the roses perfectly, and the edging is so sweet and pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat gorgeous edging and color sure do compliment that hanky wonderfully! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is splendid! Especially the ruffling.

It's beautiful, and I like it dried naturally better than when it was blocked.
ReplyDeletevery nice,. I like your color choice and the ruffling works perfectly.
ReplyDeleteAnother beauty! I'm with you... I like the ruffled look!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed! Working an edging on scallops is challenging to begin with and you've chosen a color combination to enhance the embroidered roses AND complement the hanky as a whole. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and the colour matches so well with the roses. I like the ruffling.
