Once upon a time .....
Every good fairytale starts this way, but this is not a fairytale but have turned into a UFO - and perhaps almost into a nightmare. I was looking through my blog and stumbled over this doily which I had completely forgotten.
This was a challenge given to me in 2009, yes almost 5 years ago.......
It looks like I have done almost a round since I last posted a picture of it here, so I have not been totally idle or lazy during my blogging break, but it's been more than a year since I last worked on it.
I have no idea when it will get done because I still think it is cumbersome working with stuff larger that 20 cm i diameter. But I hope it wille be finished one day because I do prefer to finish what I have started.
Design by Jan Stawasz and thread is Flora size 20.

It is really nice,and love the color choice. Worth finishing.
It's too pretty not to finish! Work all those ends in, and then you will feel as though you're starting afresh.
It will be awesome when completed because it looks beautiful already!! :)
Gosh Susanne....forgot about that one. I didn't get nearly as far. Funny I found mine when I was unpacking a few weeks ago and thought I had better finish it..!!
I am very happy that you had a great time at the workshop. Good to see you tatting again.
Look forward to seeing your beautiful work again that is always inspiring.
Which pattern is this doily? I have both of his books. I love his designs. It is so sad that he died and we will not enjoy seeing new designs from fin... but he left us with Tatting beauty for all. I hope I hear back from you.
Sherry,
The pattern is from his first book. A friend of mine have borrowed the book so I can not look for it right now.
