Coming Soon

I hoped to get this pattern finished in June during Pride Month unfortunately I did not succeed.  The first challenge was the colors since some of my thread was lost in the fire.  So the original sample did not follow the colors just the shape.  Even with this sample I hope you will excuse the fact that I don't use white thread.  Some of the colors I used size 20 Opera thread which comes out to a similar size as Lizbeth thread but I don't have white Opera thread.  The pattern is still being typed out but I'm tio happy with it to wait to share it.  The flag will be a gift to my friends Lisa and Heather.

A Very Canadian Tat-a-long 2022

It's that time of year again! Today marks the first day of the Very Canadian Tat-a-long. This last for three days and will take around 30 minutes to tat each day. 

 Unfortunately there is no diagram this year, I haven't downloaded a program onto my new computer. I was using an older program which is no longer available. 

 Again this year the AVCT will be followed by a 4th of July Tat-a-long that will start on July 2nd and finishe on July 4th. I hope you will check back afterwards because there are a few more patterns that I'm planning on sharing.
