Finished.
To say that I'm pleased with this would be an understatement. It's a delightful pattern which I've thoroughly enjoyed making. I'm off to explore Teri's blog again to see what else I might like to make. She's certainly an amazing designer.
I remember when we used to talk a lot and she was always singing the praises of Dora Young and this is reflected in this pattern. As I'd never seen Dora's book I hadn't much of a clue why she was so intrigued. Now I thoroughly do understand and am finding that Teri's work has ME very interested now.

Wow, that's lovely!
ReplyDeleteTeri is a totally talented designer. I adore her work but find it hard to understand some of her thought processes.
DeleteAbsloutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks - but it's really down to Teri.
DeleteI agree! It is lovely! You've added something else to my ever growing list of roundtoits!
ReplyDeleteMy apologies - get in touch when you get roundtoit and I'll try and help you to diagnose the pattern!!!
DeleteNagyon szép.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Delete🦎She really had some beautiful designs very talented always enjoyed her tatting patterns.🦎and your too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Madtatter80. It's all down to Teri and a grumpy old git who really loves her work!!!
DeleteShe really is talented - and that's a gorgeous piece of work.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Her way of notating her designs does make sense but I struggled and sort of translated it into 'Jane'!!!!
DeleteI just love pineapple designs. I have yet to do this pattern, it's on my list, your's is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWell mine is only as good as the designer made it. Love Teri's designs.
DeleteThat is outstanding!!! :) You sure tatted it quickly!! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tatting :). Teri have a lot of wonderful patterns/designs. One could get lost easily browsing her blog. We are lucky to have so many talented designers sharing their patterns/designs with us :).
ReplyDeleteI knew you would finish this in record time! It's a great design, and your change in thread gives it a crisp look. So glad you are reminding tatters of Teri's many accomplishments and contributions. She did some interesting things with the pineapple design, including a pretty drawstring bag and a large butterfly.
ReplyDeleteJust thinking of starting the one pineapple butterfly!!!
DeleteSo, where, preciously can I get the pattern Jane? I looked at her blog, but there's lots to go thru
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot to go through!!! Here's the direct link, Batty Tatter. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwCuo3mE5IYWX0x1OGY0WkRqczA/edit
DeleteIt's a wonderful work, and I've to tell that I know exactly how difficult it could be to tat something like that.
ReplyDeleteSome years ago, I've tatted Pineapple Heaven by Doretha Albee. Here is a picture of my example of that work: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10203845930890119&set=a.3994206975001.170674.1275721357&type=3&theater
As you can see, it's really similar of your work.
The pattern of the pineapple I've got from Georgia Seitz's page: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2011/dorethaalbeepineheaven.pdf
