Mary Konior Strikes Again

This is patchwork by Mary Konior.



Again, like in Orsi's design, I like the chains that curve in opposite directions.  I'd like to make a design of my own eventually that incorporates that particular element.

This is another great pattern which would create a different motif once you joined four of them together.

Best wishes,

  4. This is lovely. I am a big fan of chains that curve in opposite directions as well. Wish I could tat them correctly the first time!

  5. Hello, I just found your blog and have enjoyed looking at all your beautiful tatted pieces. I especially like the contours on this motif, and your color choice is perfect. What book is this motif in of Mary Konoir? Thank you!

  6. Hi Carol,

    Thank you for your comment. This design is to be found in "Tatting with Visual Patterns", her latest book which is still available for purchase I believe.

  7. I love the added color!!! Could someone post a link on how to add color like has been done on here? Is a third shuttle used?

    1. Hello Nancy, no you just need two shuttles with a different colour in each shuttle. As you naturally make all the rings with one shuttle and all the chains with the other, your motif will come out like the one above. In this case I used Lizbeth "Juicy Watermelon" (which is a variegated thread) for the rings and "Leaf Green" for the chains.

    Can this be accomplished with needle tatting?

    1. Hi Shelley, I'm no expert with a tatting needle, but this is a simple pattern with just rings and chains so I don't see why not!
