Thanks for bringing the tatted butterfly to our attention! <br /><br />Even though this is a large butterfly made with large thread, it's very attractive and would probably be fun to do. Where I might be lacking is the skill to attach it to Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019762.post-81265213446265969012009-11-16T22:04:10.284-05:002009-11-16T22:04:10.284-05:00Thank you Bev!Thank you Bev!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127914310809216760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019762.post-15492723498895054492009-11-16T16:01:40.224-05:002009-11-16T16:01:40.224-05:00I was given a pattern from the 50's that has a...I was given a pattern from the 50's that has a very similar butterfly that if tatted in size 10 thread would be that big. It looks like the same butterfly but instead of being attached to a linen, there are a number of them (in size 20 thread) tatted periodically around a large doily. <br />I will try to make a PDF of the scanned pattern and get it to you.

LOL! You sure have an eye.... Yes, this would be a sensational edging, and as Sally prefers, in colour it would be very unusual.<br />Maybe someone will recognize the pattern...<br />Fox : )Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889386206601730189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019762.post-42518478655162914882009-11-15T13:18:57.077-05:002009-11-15T13:18:57.077-05:00Geraldine - was it your own design or a pattern yo...Geraldine - was it your own design or a pattern you found somewhere?Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127914310809216760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019762.post-87085409688470730932009-11-15T12:55:51.687-05:002009-11-15T12:55:51.687-05:00have done a butterfly this big but the wingjoins w...have done a butterfly this big but the wingjoins were not goodgeraldinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08881004535084233803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019762.post-89018802855818327092009-11-15T11:15:19.405-05:002009-11-15T11:15:19.405-05:00Do hope you can find the pattern, being a colourfu...Do hope you can find the pattern, being a colourful person I would like to see it tatted in bright colours and attached to a scarf.
