Baby Bri

Greetings to you all!!

As the clouds are gray and rain is falling outside, I decided to pause and check out the tatting blog world. I really stuggle not being able to tat as much as I'd like so I live vicariously through you. Still doctoring the elbow.

Until I have new projects to show, I'll report on some of the projects I've completed and gifted.

Remember this?...


 


Well, I gifted this bonnet to a coworker (Jan) who became a grandmother for the first time.  She then gifted it to her daughter and granddaughter.

With Jan's permission I want to introduce you to Bri.

 

Her grandmother gifted me this photo.  I really do enjoy receiving photos of my work in context.  Isn't she beautiful.

Well, until the next time, have a wonderful day!!
John

  2. The bonnet is magnificent and the baby is simply adorable. She will treasure the bonnet and perhaps one day her own baby will wear it too.

  5. A work of art and I hope a cherished family heirloom! I also hope a note stays with it honoring the tatter and a mention that even though tatting became very popular in the early 21st century, items such as hand-tatted baby bonnets were still rare! A lovely gift, and a sweet photo! Hope your elbow is mending.

  6. Hi, John,

    Rub a little dark chocolate on your back molars several times a day and at the same time put a shuttle under your pillow for one week, exactly 5 days before a full moon. Guaranteed to help a bad elbow.

    Charming cap. Beautiful child.

  7. A stunning bonnet, John! And what a gorgeous little one Bri is...the two are an absolutely beautiful pair.

    I hope your elbow mends soon. I am also in tatting withdrawal with an injured thumb. Grrr. You have my deepest sympathy for your enforced time away from the shuttles.

  8. What a beautiful photo! - I love the added touch of the necklace, all very Victorian - or is it Edwardian? What size thread did you use for your bonnet?

  9. Very beautiful job on that bonnet, John. And the mommy and daddy did a beautiful job on the baby, too, which doesn't hurt.

    Two posts! We're busy bloggers, eh? ;-)

    1. Teresa, I combined several edge patterns together for the top of the bonnet and created the back. I would like to write out the pattern in the near future.

  14. This is so beautiful! I’m planning to make a baby bonnet for my friend and this is so lovely. Are there pictures of the back itself! Or possibly, did you write out your pattern? I'd pay...
