These bookmarks will be donated to the Boutique at Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion in Rollag MN. A 4 day celebration of steam engines, tractors, and all things big iron.
The last few years I have demo'd tatting there. This year due to farmguy's health, I was not able to go.
But I did some of my part to help by tatting the bookmarks and sending them with another gal.
The green is a Flora thread in size 20. The varigated threads are Lizbeth. The cross bookmark is done in an acrylic lace yarn that should be purple and green but for some reason the scan does not show true.
This is what the thread looks like
I also did a quick run up to Rollag and picked up my refurbished Circular Sock Machine
Farmguy has 2 surgeries scheduled for this week so we shall see how things go this time. Wednesday he is to have the Nephrostomy tubes in his back replaced ans apparently, good medical practice states they need to be replaced every 90 days. The one on Friday is to reverse the iliostomy. Thanks be to God that there will be no complications this time around.
I hope you had a wonderful tatting labor day weekend.
Those are beautiful books, sure to be appreciated at the Steam Engine show.
