Jane taught the lesson, which was her lovely new "Walled Garden Motif." Her lesson featured a terrific new way to start a motif with a self-closing mock ring without tying the two shuttle threads together. I didn't get mine finished, but several others did! Here are some pictures from yesterday - enjoy!
oh what fun the meeting must have been. congrats on having Jane and Sally there.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time! They are loads of fun, and it was wonderful to be able to "extend Tat Days" just a little bit.
DeleteRiet will be with us through the SC State Fair, where we'll be demonstrating the middle of October.
When are you going to come see us again? Maybe Tat Days 2013??
has the date been set yet for 2013? I am once again committed to the 4 days over Labor Day. [for some reason they think I am an advanced tatter. (now I am tooting my own horn)]
DeleteYes - September 6 & 7, 2013 - the Friday and Saturday following Labor Day. Hope you can work it out and come be with us!
DeleteToot, toot - you ARE an advanced tatter - I've seen your work! :-)
I wonder if Dave would consider moving southeast when we retire? It looks like you have so much fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, wish y'all would! We do have so much fun - not just at Tat Days and at our regular meetings (not to mention the SC State Fair), but whenever any of us travels, we try to get together with the closest tatter (even if it's just for a quick lunch and a chat).
DeleteAccording to a study I read recently, all the deep South states (except Florida) are retirement-friendly with a lower cost-of-living compared with the Northeast and Midwest. Y'all c'mon down!
Jealous! What fun!

DeleteIt was great - wish you'd been here! We went to supper afterwards - there were 18 of us at Flight Deck, so they put us in a private dining room. We had a blast!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the photos & telling about the meeting. It was almost like being there : )
ReplyDeleteIf you're ever traveling down our way the 3rd Saturday of the month, please let us know - we'd love to have you join us for fun and tatting!
DeleteJane and I have had so much fun meeting all of you. Leaving for the UK tomorrow and will miss gathering together for tatting. Thank you everyone for such happy memories which will cheer me up when tatting alone in the coming months
ReplyDeleteI miss y'all already! :-(
DeleteTravel safely and keep in touch, and y'all come and see us when you can!!
