The Tennessee Southern Belles created incredible Welcome Bags for our Tat Days 2012. Included was this pattern "Blast" Firecracker pattern by Schari in Fall colors. We decided to try it in patriotic colors. THANKS for the pattern!

We will provide the red, white and blue thread so just bring a shuttle or needle.

Items for PTG Quilt. Georgia needs Dragon Flies by July 1. Here is a link to the information.

Items for Fringe Tatters. Items due July 30. This is a request from the Fringe! fringetatters@gmail.com
This year for the Cambridge tatting event we are planning to create a wall hanging of all 4 Seasons to be auctioned off as a fund raiser for the Fringe. Tatting for All Seasons is their theme. If you are willing to tat items that can be added to the wall hanging, please let them know at fringetatters@gmail.com. They want to collect items for all 4 seasons. Donated pieces need to be on the smaller size (probably about 2 - 3 inches). Write about colors. Thinking there will be pale blue behind the winter square (about 10 inches), green for Spring, yellow for Summer and orange for Fall. Looking for snowflake, heart, leaf, flower, pumpkin - any seasonal item. All tatting will need to be in their hands by July 30.

THANK YOU to our Tatting Community that is so very generous with their time and talent.

REQUESTS FOR TATTING

SMILE South Carolina State Fair in October: Each year we collect butterflies and other small tatted items to share with the thousands of fair goers.

SMILE Items to sell at craft fairs: We love to share our tatting and make more folks aware of this wonderful art form and craft shows are one way we do this. It also brings in a little cash to help support our teaching efforts throughout the year. Craft show goers are looking for unique items and we can provide just that. Items like, but not limited to, jewelry, bookmarks, decorative things, etc. School colors of Maroon and Black for Univ. of SC and Orange and/or Purple for Clemson sell well, too.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU for your generosity!
