Santa has arrived early to me here in NE Iowa.. I have been waiting and watching for the final book to full my collection of Mary Konior series... "A Pattern Book of Tatting". Well low and behold if I didn't find one in my price range on Ebay... The ironic part is that I won this auction the same evening as when my friend came and picked up the bookmarks I made for her!! The purchase price of the book was $3 less than the amount my friend gave me for making the bookmarks for her!! So it was if she bought the book for me!! Love It!! Also while she was here she ordered three more from me... What a great feeling that someone likes them as much as I like making them ;) The thing I like most about these bookmarks are you can customize them for who you are giving them to.. Needless to say about everyone in my family will be getting one for Christmas this year... along with my co-workers.. Also I had to try out a pattern out of the new book too. Plus I made a couple of covered ornaments for some exchanges I am in for Christmas... Only thing there, I didn't take pictures of them.. bummer...
Great book, And the price sounds right! I got mine on eBay as well and got a very good deal. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteThe bookmarks are lovely!
Question: What pattern did you use to cover the balls? I have a lot of different ones in various books, but the balls I have are large - a few inches around and I am not sure what pattern to use. Never done one before...

One of the patterns was Ginny Weathers Simple Ball Cover is what I think it was called. If you google it, it will come up. The other was out of the Glass Christmas Ball book by JoAnn Sterns.. #7
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jill! I think I 'll try this one!

Congrats on your "new" book! This year has been a fabulous one as far as getting all of the Mary Konior books in hardback!!! I have really enjoyed hunting for them...some sellers are charging and arm and a leg for them aren't they?? So, good job on getting one of the better priced ones (actually, I don't know how much you paid, but I'm hoping you did reward any of the unreasonable book sellers with their outrageous prices for Mary Konior's books).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your "new" book.
ReplyDeleteThe bookmark pattern is quite lovely! Where could I find this pattern?
