Well I can get a move on at times and as I've said before - I really enjoy making this doily. It'll eventually find it's way into the box of finished tatting!!!!

Cushion
I'd forgotten to show you the finished cushion. So, here it is.
I managed to put 'window frames' round each square just to bring out the differences in the colours. There's also a dark strip round the outside too. The back (last picture) is reasonably 'plain' in a wonky sort of way.
Can you spot the added bits of 'tit and tat'? Oh, I mean tatting?

Zig Zag doily
It's the translation of a Dutch doily which I absolutely love. I think the pattern is almost ready to 'go' onto my web site but I do want to check it through once more.
Bev has done a terrific job test tatting it too and made lots of really good suggestions.
So I've started another but in yellow and size 40 thread. I had to search through my stash to find two balls of size 40 but this is what I decided on. As the design is so interesting and as there are very few cuts and ties during the whole pattern I decided to make it in just one colour again. I'd like to see it in a variegated thread but I think you'd lose the beauty of the flow.
