Motif #25

The edging I'm working on to make a little centerpiece for my kitchen table is almost done.  I haven't really made many edgings, and wanted to try combining tatting with quilting, and then see what the best way to add the edging is.  I am just going to make it a simple circle, and I'm just fiddling with it until I get it to what seems like a reasonable size.  


This is the "Lacey Edging" from A Christmas Angel and Other Tatting Patterns by Monica Hahn.  I like this one because it has a simple repeat that I can do while watching TV, or on my lunch break at work, without much serious concentration.



The edging is going to be Motif #25 of my 25-Motif Challenge.  Wow!  I was worried I wouldn't get 25 done in one year, and it actually only took 8 months. It's true - the challenge helps one to see how much we really DO get done in one year.  I will end my challenge for now, but I definitely plan to do it a second time!
