Sorry about the poor pictures but it IS winter and it's hard to get motivated to go into the conservatory for better light just to take a quick photo!!!!
This was quite a scary task to repair but I did it as I'm a stubborn OG (old git) and also I won't leave something with a mistake like that. I could've left it and finished the round I'm working on but that would've been the end of the adventure.
Now I've repaired it I may venture into another round!!!!
I'm keeping the aged fingers crossed that this may be chosen by the Palmetto Tatters as a teaching project at Tat Days in September but I've yet to be chosen so please keep your fingers crossed that I get through the selection process. I desperately NEED to go to America to catch up with all my lovely friends over there. I've submitted my application!!!!
Waiting to see you in September!
ReplyDeleteAs to the project, I still did not find the error.
I never did see the error, even with it circled. I'm glad you were able to sort it out. A mistake that I see can just about drive me crazy!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteIt has such a fabulously unique design!!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting I saw the color change but view a lot of Asian tatters and sometimes they do that intentionally. So I was fine with it any way 😄
ReplyDeleteWill keep my fingers crossed for you :) I love this design, I do hope you'll make another round. Congrats on fixing the mistake; it took me ages to identify it, but you're right, once you see it it just can't stay.... Only I wouldn't have had the skills to replace the motif without ruining the whole piece!!!
ReplyDeleteSo Jane, joining back to a picot that’s already there is easy, but how do you join back when the piece you are re-tatting has to provide the picot?
ReplyDeleteWell Bev, what I did was undo (with the scissors!) right up to the join and then gently 'ease out' some of the thread to get as big a 'picot' as I could. Not ideal and would be impossible if you were needing a very long picot. Call it cheating, if you like!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! No not cheating - whatever works, and it may prove useful one day.
ReplyDeleteLike the colors and design element. Look forward to seeing you in September and perhaps taking your class if I am not teaching!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phyllis but I don’t assume I’ll be selected until I get the email. Hope to see you there too, though!!!!
