Tatting Motif #1

Here is my first tatting motif for the 25 Motif Challenge.  My work is no where near the work represented in this blog, but I won’t get better if I don’t challenge myself – RIGHT??

I did this pattern called “Black Magic” from my very favorite tatting book by Mary Konior “Tatting with Visual Patterns”.   It’s DMC Pearl Cotton size 12 – Ecru.  It is going to be attached to a crazy quilt block that I’m doing as part of a round robbin.  The size is perfect for the block and I’m excited to attach it tonight.

Now if I can only figure out how to take better pictures of my tatting, I’d be all set!!
