It was published in The Queenslander on 16th March 1938 (the Trove site sometimes has technical difficulties so you may not be able to see the actual tatting shown in the newspaper). I have now completed the chart and am happy to share it here".
Shuttle tatted in Lizbeth size 20 thread, color: #100 Falling Leaves. Many thanks to Jon and others who had wonderful suggestions and ideas on how to improve the original pattern. I most say I learn a lot from working on this!

Beautiful, gorgeous colours, one of my favorite threads well done
Margaret
It looks great! Nice job
Margaret you have been so supportive during this project and I want to say how helpful you kind words have been. Having to cut 2 rounds was not an easy thing to do, but....all is well NOW...lol This has truly been a learning project which has open my eyes and MIND to see tatting in a whole new light!
Thank you! And I see you're out to a beautiful start as well. Happy Tatting!
That is really wonderful in the autumn colors!!! :)
Thank you so much for your kind words. A really learning experience!
It came out beautifully, Nancy. I also learned a lot from doing this project. Especially about blocking!
It is interesting to notice how the darker colours in this thread form their own pattern. You just never know till it is completed how the variegation will look. This one is very good!
Fox : )
Thank you Fox. My intention was to change up the colors a bit, but once I started with S/R's to climb out to the next rows, I was hooked on the idea and got a bit carried away!
Thanks for your comment on my blog. You finished the lace mat! It looks fantastic.
Looks very good Nancy. Yeah for you persevering. It can be hard to do things over again. but this looks very good.
