Paper, Shuttel and Thread

We are less from 2 weeks away from the official end of summer here. The schools are back in session and everyone is settling in to their Fall routines. I used some files from SVG Cuts to make some back to school home decorations and gifts for some family members and friends.

I used files from School Days, and Miss Baker's Classroom. Mary and Leo premier a new kit every Thursday/Friday and offer a free file every week. Their customer service is the best.

When I wasn't playing with paper I was working on my tatting. I have 3 of 4 Spinning Wheels coasters done. I will be starting the place mat as soon as I finish the last coaster. I am working this set from Mary Konior's book Tatting with Visual Patterns with DMC Cebelia sz 30. My third coaster has disappeared, hopefully I will find it soon or I will have to make another.

Until next time,
Gwen

Like most of the East Coast I have been trying to weather this year's triple digit temperatures.

I found the pattern for this doily online.

I have decided to work some designs from Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior. This is my first attempt at the Spinning Wheel Glass Mat (pg74).
