About Me

My photo
Minnesota, United States
I am retired and loving it. I have a wonderful husband of 55 years. We have 3 awesome children, 7 fabulous grandchildren and 8 incredibly precious great-grandchildren. I enjoy reading, walking, biking, card making, tatting, X stitching and quilling. My winters in Minnesota are spent mostly indoors while in the summer my husband and I spend quality time on our Harley enjoying the beautiful scenery in our area. I hate to cook, love anything sweet and have mixed feelings about exercising.

MSCB 2/17/16

This week on Mod Squad Challenge http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-great-outdoors.html we were asked to use "the Great Outdoors" in our card.
I used a Tiddly Ink Digital image colored with Spectrum Noir pens for my project.  Originally I had the Happy Birthday in blue letters but I didn't think they stood out enough.  I cut a second set in gold glitter paper and glued them offset to my blue ones.  TFL

looking for a pattern

Can anyone tell me where I can find a needle tatting pattern using a covered ring? I've seen several photos using this technique but have been unable to find any patterns.
