Well, I was really only kidding. It's hardly a fair deal to trade her beautiful quilts, no matter how small, for some of my tatting! Really. Look at these perfectly even little stitches:
She does such beautiful work. In any case, when my youngest returned home from a visit with Grandma, guess what she brought with her? Sheesh! A bargain, indeed.
I'm not sure that any tatting I could produce would be a fair trade for these beauties! Snowflakes, perhaps? A doily or two? Coasters? Pillowcases or towels with tatted edgings? Hhhhhmmmmm. Probably all of those things! Any suggestions?
A certain especially gorgeous tat-along lace mat when it's done?
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful quilting and her colors are lovely.
I've seen your tatting, and it is perfect! Your mom's quilts are stunning... any chance I could persuade her to fair trade with me? ;-)
ReplyDeleteany piece of art or object is only worth what someone is willing to give for it, and if she is willing to trade the quilts for your beautiful tatting, then yes, it is worth it, you love the quilting, she loves the tatting, now you just decide on which pieces and it is all squared :) she may find the quilting to be easy to do, where as you find the tatting to do :)
ReplyDeleteit is all good sweetie :)
Your mother does beautiful quilting. I agree with Bree, if you both agree on it, it's a fair trade. We want to see what you end of making/giving for them :-)
ReplyDeleteThose wall hangings are GORGEOUS and I am green with envy over the perfectly even stitches. Can I be adopted (along with Diane)?!? (*grins*)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see the tatting side of the trade.
