You did a wonderful job!

Iris,
Here is my TIAS. I wasn't going to send this because there are mistakes in it. I did this while sitting with someone in the hospital and it wasn't easy to concentrate. Thanks for the TIAS. Hopefully mine will be better next time.

I send you my doily with the different center
I am looking out for the next TIAS

Iris,

Here is a photo of my rendition of your TIAS to include in the TIAS
blog. Thanks for doing it. It was fun. In fact I liked it so much I
am, like others, going to complete the whole doily.

Hi Iris,
I now see in your dolly picture that I was right when I thought that on day 5 there was a little mistake in the pattern

51) LC ring clover 6+3-3(join to opposite LC ring), 3+6-4-6-3, 3+3-6Continue from 13) to 22)

I think it had to be:
51) LC ring clover 6+3-3(join to opposite LC ring), 3+6+(join on big LC ring from first motive)4-6-3, 3+3-6Continue from 13) to 22)

One of my members also asked that, but on that moment you were in the plain and I couldn't mail you So I told her that you didn't made a join so the best thing was folow your pattern
It is also possible to do it without the join as you can see in the picture what is comming with this mail, meaby it wil gave problems when I close the doly, but than I can do something with neddle work.
Greetings

Yes, Riet, you are right, at the end to hurry I made this mistake. Thank you for the advice.

This is the doily Wally Sosa finished. I find, she has done a beautiful work. She joined the inner big rings togehter, which I forgot to write in my pattern. Thank you Wally.

Hi Iris,
Here is my completed TIAS. The design is absolutely stunning and I think it would make a lovely doiley. I hope you will be publishing a diagram for the whole doiley.
Thank you so much for 5 days of pure enchantment and anticipation.

Hi Iris,
Here is my part 4. I still don't know what it is, unless you are taking us through a doily step by step. I do think it is incredibly beautiful. It amazes me how your mind works and can figure all of these designs out. You're my hero!
Laura
Thank you, Laura

Hi, Iris,
attached is a pic of my versions of your wonderful TIAS, using hand-dyed
threads (I think Marilee's, but I've lost the labels; the green may be
Sherry's). In the purple one, the use of the variegated may
significantly reduce the contrast inherent in your design. That's why
I started the second one, to emphasize the contrast. See where I ran
out of thread?!

Thank you for all the work in designing and preparing the TIAS for us.
It's so fun!!
Big, big hugs,
Katie Verna

Katie, the color is so beautiful!

Iris is it like this.
I have to be sure before I put it on my blog
Thanks in advance
Riet the B-engel - Yes Riet, this is perfect!

I mail you my result of day 3 - Riet the B-engel

This is very pretty, Iris. I hope I still have it right! Laura Blanton

Here is my attempt at steps 1 - 12. I hope I have it right. The only mistake I know I made and had to redo was the last clover. I didn't pay attention and tatted it in the dark color instead of light. Whatever it is, I think it is going to be pretty.
Thanks again,
Laura Blanton

Whooppppeeeee - a new family

May I have the pleasure of introducing you to the latest button family? This is the message that came with them.

I am not sure if I had sent this to you or not. I finished them the end of September. Thank you for sharing them with us. I really enjoyed tatting them.

Just arrived!

Another lighthouse has arrived from Tine.  This is what she said

"This is the brandaris, a lichting house in the Netherlands.  I am late with it, because I had bruised my richt hand and wrist.  Now it goes a little bit better.  Greets from the Netherlands."

More lighthouses trickling in....

Look what I found! Just when I was thinking that my TIAS didn't look like a lighthouse, I found this one on the Bon Secour River that it must have modeled after! Cool or what? ~TattyCat

Hi Sherry,
Thank you for doing the TIAS 4. I really enjoyed participating.
Here is the picture of my Lighthouse. ~J.B. Satsuma, AL

Hi Sherry,
This is the photo of my finished TIAS as promised. Can't thank you enough for this. I am really glad I joined in.
Happy vacation and can't wait to see what you have planned for your blog while you are away. ~Best regards, Wendy

Day 12 finish line

I'm finally getting around to sending my picture of my finished lighthouses. I had to remember to tat my chains A LOT looser than I normally do or else I'd only get halfway to where I was supposed to join! ~Becky


Hi Sherry,
Thank you for doing the TIAS 4. I really enjoyed participating. Here is the picture of my Lighthouse.~J.B. Satsuma, AL


Sorry but I got behind on the TIAS. I had to do 200 small motifs for a friend who needed them asap!!! Then I lost my pieces for a day or two but found them buried!!! Anyway, it was fun to be on the receiving end and I didn't guess what it was until it was finished and then only because you said what it was!!!! I'm a bit dense at times over these things!!! Still, it's a lovely pattern and idea. Well done. ~Jane E.

Sherry, Been out of town, but now I'm home and here's my finished Oregon Lighthouse Bookmark! It does need blocked. You had me fooled clear to the end as I was just sure it was a Korean building, door, or something with the Korean influence. Thank you so much for doing this for us all. I've learned several things in the process.Karen in OR where we do have lighthouses

~Ellen


Hello Sherry,
Here is the finished Lighthouse. The nearest I got was the Empire State Building!!
~Wendy

Hi Sherry!
Here is my lighthouse. I did not send each day's progress but have been following along. It was a great pattern. Thank you for sharing. I have not pressed it yet, but I think it looks pretty good. I used Altin Basak thread, so it is a little smaller than size 20 would have been. ~Marie Smith

Thanks for the TIAS I enjoyed it. Any mistakes don't blame me. My great grandson Aracin started school this year and I am not use to tatting when it is so quite, still trying to get use to it. ~Sharon D.



Sherry,
I loved it! You did such a great job of keeping the
mystery alive! I had to run down to the beach this morning
and snap a picture of the Lighthouse Bookmark! LOL!~TattingChic :)

Hi Sherry. Here is my finished Lighthouse. I guessed correctly. Yippee. Congratulations to all the other participants who also guessed correctly, but most of all my thanks and appreciation go to you for arranging this TIAS 4. I have learnt so much doing this project.~Pam

Hi sherry,
I have finished your T.I.A.S
what fun.and I am excited that I had the right guess.
it is a little lopsided because I haven't blocked it yet, I wanted to get it posted now that it is finished. Blocking would have taken another day. ~Thanks again for the fun.

Hiya,
Here is my finished lighthouse, mine is definately Great Point Light in Nantucket as i had never seen one with the little porcgey bit and pitched roof over the doorway. but having read what you said and looked up lighthouses in Oregan i see that they have them like that too. thanks for the fun this will be put in a plastic sleeve and treasured.

Here it is finished. You did a great job! It's beautiful, useful and I had NO idea! Thanks for all the time you put into this for us.
Hugs,
Lala
