Forgot to post

I did check my email last night, but I forgot to post my progress on Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. 

I now have 8 pattern repeats finished, which I think is pretty good progress!

Not much progress

It's not surprising that I didn't make much progress on Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. After all, it is play weekend!

There was a wall of recognition for veterans and those currently serving in the military. Both sides of the panels have posters recognizing these men and women.

Information was provided for Adopt A Soldier and Project Headspace.

45 raffle items were donated by community members, raising almost $2,000 for Adopt A Soldier.

The kids were really committed to doing their best. They were reviewing dances right up until the doors opened before each of the performances.

From what my daughter told me, Bandstand received mixed reviews on Broadway in 2017. I thought the play was very thought provoking, and I know others felt the same way.

I wonder how they'll top this one?

After spending so many hours at the school this weekend, I guess I have an excuse for getting so little tatting done!

Quick post

 

I chose size 20 Lizbeth #658 Ocean Turquoise Lt for round 12 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026.

I finished the blocks for my patriotic lap quilt, 24 diagonal strip squares, and 24 straight strip squares.

I now have the 48 squares I need! Time to go... we're off to the play!

Round 11

 

I was feeling more myself today, so I quilted six more quilt blocks. I now have 42, with only 6 more to go for my lap quilt.

To keep from doing too much of one thing, I switched back and forth between quilting and tatting. By doing that, I was able to complete round 11 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. 

Tonight is the drama club's first performance of Bandstand. I'm really looking forward to it. Tomorrow, I hope to start round 12. I think I even know which color I will use!

3/4

 

I can't believe I'm 3/4 of the way finished with round 11. This was a fairly easy pattern repeat to memorize, which makes the tatting go so much more quickly.

This weekend is the high school drama club production of Bandstand. Dave and I will be attending all three performances, I hope!

Not too tired to tat

 

I followed my chiropractor's instructions and took a short walk this morning, only ten minutes. Boy, did that ten minutes wear me out. I really didn't have much energy left for anything.

I did, however, get a good start on round 11 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. For this round I am using size 20 Lizbeth #649 Baby Blue. I really like the way it looks next to the purple!

Round 10

My chiropractor told me to rest, so that's what I've been doing. Tomorrow, I'm supposed to take a short walk in the morning, and if I'm up to it, another short walk in the afternoon. I'm not supposed to go back to work until next week. I guess I'll be following doctor's orders!

The result of all this rest is that I've completed round 10 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. I have not been spending all of my time tatting. My hands wouldn't be able to handle that. However, I have been tatting more than I normally would in a day.

I tatted round 10 in size 20 Lizbeth # 647 Purple Iris Dk. I really like the way this is turning out!
