Inspired by Eleonora, I borrowed the center motif to create this bookmark in shades of purple. Again, in Coats hand quilting thread. My niece is delighted, because I've promised it to her.
Tatting while listening to audio books is what I call relaxation. I get home from work, get dinner out of the way, then park myself in my favorite chair. I pick up my lap desk covered with shuttles, patterns, strings and beads, stick the earbuds in and say, "Checking out!" Nobody bothers me then -- until it's time to go ride the stationary bike, that is.
