Anne Orr Medallion #38
Has anyone tried tatting the medallion #38 from the book Tatting with Anne Orr?
I had problems when making it the first time by following the pattern for the medallion exactly as in the book. I followed the instructions by making five repeats and the medallion cupped-up on me. So, I improvised and make it with six repeats and it turned out just right.
I made a small change to the design by adding an outward ring to each of the clovers in the last round. It now looks more like a hexagon that a round medallion.

Which you can join to make a bigger piece - I love making using small motifs joined together.
ReplyDeletethis is very nice Jon. I will have to get my book out and try this one. I'll keep your suggestions in mind when I do!
ReplyDeleteTattycat, if you are able to make it stay flat with five repeats you have to tell me how you did it. I need to know what mistake I made the first time round.
ReplyDeleteI'll do my best but doubt that I could improve on anything you do!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely! I'll have to try this one.
