Well, The Colors Are Different
If you look at Craftree you will find that I am working on a doily that was the 2015 Mystery Tat-Along. I want to show you this now because of the thread color. I am tatting this in King Tut, #941, Old Giza. I was not sure how it would come out, but the colors are interesting, to say the least. It is a very busy blend. Since King Tut is a quilting thread, I can see where this would have applications quilting over some busy print fabrics. In this photo I am about 2/3 the way finished and the doily is about 3"3/4 across.
The challenge I set for myself for this one is to do it in continuous tatting. So far, so good.

Love it even though it’s a ‘busy’ thread the design still shines through.
ReplyDeleteI love tatting with King Tut! Maybe in the new year I can work on perfecting my split rings and chains so that I can tat continuously. I have too many goals for the time available to me!
ReplyDeleteNice thread! I have a spool of black & white quilting thread the company named piano keys. I must try out something like this with it!
ReplyDeleteThe interesting thing is that the further you go, the less muddled the thread colour appears, it develops its own unity. I like it.
