Babylace Edging, In Red...with Geraniums

Well...It's been a week since my last post, not intentionally...but that seems how life goes for me.  I get lots of tatting time, and then I get none.  I do a number of posts, and then I don't.  They go hand in hand.  This time, we are traveling, so first I was getting ready and then we were going...but I have been tatting.  In the car.  Which means the size 80 edging I'm doing on the hankie from Michelle is impossible!  Which means, I HAD to start another...really...

Here it is...



I found this hankie while on my Birthday antiquing jaunt...red geraniums, aren't they pretty!!!  They look so like these pretty wildflowers I found yesterday, while we were in the Tetons...



Obviously, I can't tat the entire time we are in the car...I have to look out the window...a lot...this is beautiful country!!!

Anyway, I tried Mary Konior's Babylace edging for the hankie from Diane, loved it, but not for that hankie...so...




I think it's perfect for this hankie.  The thread is a size 30 Clark's vintage thread.  I've gotten down one side and around the corner in three days.  I tatted a little cross too on our first day of travel, but the photo I managed tonight just doesn't do it justice...so I'll try again when the light is better.
