This is from a recent eBay purchase and it will take a while for me to work up to it (it's a little out of my league).

About Me
- Shay
- the rural Midwest, United States
- Middle-aged Middle-westerner, retired Marine and Detroiter who somehow wound up in a farm village of 900 people. My hobbies are military history and needlework. I share the bungalow with the Spousal Unit, the bad-tempered and imperious Primary Cat (aka the Drama Queen), Reserve Cat who is by far the nicest and sweetest inhabitant of the bungalow, Funnyface, our ginormous two-year-old alpha male German Shepherd and Babyface, our year-old German Shepherd puppy. You will find here free patterns from my collection of pre-1955 needlework magazines (sewing, knitting, tatting, crochet, embroidery, etc) as well as old recipes, vintage household hints, poetry, occasional rants, LOLCats, and any pieces of ephemera that tickle my fancy.

It's gorgeous! I'll give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
Very pretty! I'll bet you can do it! Please post a picture when you've finished it!
after a pep talk from Sharon and another look at the pattern, I am a little less intimidated. I have avoided "onion ring" tatting patterns before as my tension is not as even as it could be, but I have some vintage yellow Coats & Clarks that might look good in this.
What a cool pattern - and I thought I had seen every vintage pattern known to man LOL - I am going to try and tat this one up today, it's so unusual! Thank you so much for sharing it.
I printed it out and am carrying it around with me but still haven't tried it yet. Soon though!

I've seen that pattern on eTatters with an explanation. It sure looks cool. Looking forward to your pic of it when you're done.
