I like to carry my tatting with me EVERYWHERE.
I dislike the tatting that I take with me EVERYWHERE ending up in a CLUMP of tangled thread and shuttles, causing me to spend more time UNTANGLING on the go than TATTING on the go.
This became a PRESSING matter for me so I created a
TATTING PRESS.
Now my work stays neat,
even when life gets messy...
If you would like to try a tatting press, leave a comment ON THIS POST telling me which fabric/ribbon combination you like (brown, pink or green). It will measure about 4.5 inches in diameter and (hopefully) will have two shuttle pockets. No worries if you don't (currently) tat. I think the press may be useful for other crafts as well. You can let me know about that!
I will draw one name on May 21st and get the press to you ASAP! Please make sure there is a way for me to contact you so I can get your mailing information (my email is under About Me).
This is my first giveaway.
HOPEFULLY I have covered all the bases!
Oh, and good luck!
What a GREAT idea! I love it - they are all beautiful, but I think I like the green ribbon the best.
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway - Pick me!
Aren't you the cleverest! What a terrific idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm in and I love the brown one! It is a very evocative print, to me.
Thanks for having this give-away!

What a clever idea. I seem to just throw the shuttles and project in a sandwich baggy and then can put it in my shirt pocket. Would probably prefer a manly color/ not to flowery even thou I tat flowery bookmarks, etc. Take care and happy tatting.

Now that is a cool idea! I like all three, but the pink really caught my eye. What fun! Please count me in.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good idea. Perfect not just for tatting, but for small cross stitch or hardanger projects. I like them all, but I think the brown is my favorite.

I like it, what a great idea!! This could be the latest craze amoung the tatting world.
ReplyDeleteI like all three really, but I guess I would say the brown one.
Oh this is a fantastic idea! I love it!! I do believe I like the combination on the right best...so spring like!
ReplyDeleteDarn -- I can't think of anything I work on that is quite small enough to fit in that darling keeper. Just wanted to let you know what a clever thing you are to come up with this idea -- and it's so cute!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, and such a good idea! I'd love to have one -- especially the green one, it's so cheerful. :) If I get lucky, you can reach me at marty1077 at yahoo dot com.
ReplyDeleteIf I don't get lucky and win the pretty press, are you going to provide the pattern or maybe other presses for purchase?
These are so cute! They're all so lovely.. But I think my favorite one is the brown ribbon with the roses!

WOW!! great idea! I've started tatting during the easter holidays and just the other day my mum said: "you have to finish your work before you let it in the case".. but I live in Rome and I have to catch the bus to go to my job office.. I always do some knitting or crochet in the bus.. end I wanted to tat too! now this is the solution!!
ReplyDeletegoo job!!
I would love to try one. I like the pink ribbon combo the best. My email is in my profile just in case =) Keeping my fingers crossed!
