An Annie Orr Edging

Hello. Another small update, from Missouri this time!

Our family has a house at the Lake of the Ozarks and it is the best place to tat! So relaxing and uncomplicated! (Although Ihave  taken a few breaks to go shopping!!)

So, with "nothing" else to do, I have made great strides in this Annie Orr edging pattern (from the red Annie Orr book and probably available for free online):


It is over a foot long, (15 repeats) and I am guessing I need 20-25 more before I can attach it to the pillowcase I'm making if for.

(The thread is size 40 Lizbeth)

It's a process, and the first time I've made a continuous edging pattern, beleve it or not! :)

We're off to TN for a few days later this week, and then back to Iowa for the 4th...and then Chris and I are meeting up in LONDON to spend 2 weeks in the UK!! I am so excited!!!!! :) This will be my first time there since 2004 and my first time since I leaned how to tat. 

Do any of you UK tatters have any must-go places for tatting books, swag etc? :-D

    1. I'm still sad I didn't do my geography homework and realize how close I would be to you when I was in Bath, Margaret. Next time, for sure! :)
