Two Doves

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about making a wedding gift with a pattern from Filvolite Con Sabor. I finally finished the second dove and framed them together.

I made the second dove to face the first. Instead of an olive branch, I have the doves holding a heart (my January Heart, pattern found on My Patterns page), which I thought was appropriate for a wedding. They are mounted on a wooden plaque. The frame is an odd size, which I happened to have in a box of old frames. I think it turned out well.

I’ve turned in to Lisa at Tatting Corner one of the patterns I hope to teach at Tat Days this coming July. It has been test-tatted and the pattern corrected as necessary. I’m thrilled with how it has come out. The second item I submitted for Tat Days I’m revamping a bit. It was okay, but I kept fiddling with it. Now I have to update the written pattern and get it test-tatted. I’m much happier with it now.

Last Sunday was Palm Sunday, and this coming Sunday is Easter. I’m looking forward to this entire week (Holy Week) but it will be busy. If I have time I am considering tatting around another egg before the weekend, or maybe Saturday. I have the ones I’ve previously done out as decorations, enticing me to make another. We’ll see if that happens.

John 12:13  They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! ” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”“Blessed is the king of Israel!”
