Crafting without the Barn

 With the exterior construction, many of the contents of the Art Barn had to be removed to allow for enlarging the door frame and installing the light fixture.  What was left inside required covering to keep the dust off it.  That’s not going to get in my way!  Over the past week or so, I have managed to finish a project begun at the 2022 Palmetto Tatter’s Guild’s 20th annual Tat Days held in nearby Lake Junaluska Conference Center outside Waynesville, NC.  There I took Martha Ess’s Rick Rack Sunflake (tm) class and have completed it.  

This was my first experience with using Rick Rack as an anchor for tatting, but I was pleased with the way it came out.  Because of the way the fabric was sewn together, it has a tendency to bow a bit, but a healthy shot of steam from my steam iron seems to have taken care of most of that.
