NEW! Machine Embroidery Tatted Pineapples at Murphy's Designs

I am so excited about the new designs!  

Inez B requested that I make a Tatted Pineapple hanky corner so that is what I did.  Since these are so small, they use a light weight 60-wt. thread.  They stitch like a dream!  I also have the design done as a free-standing motif so you can add it to your project.  Since pineapples are often symbols of hospitality, I made a hostess gift with mine.  I also added "Give Thanks" on my towel.  

If you would like these designs done larger with a regular weight of thread, be sure to let me know.  I also want to make a matching tatted edge for the rest of my hanky edges.  

I have these on VERY special introductory SALE pricing!  But only for a while.  All designs are sent as email attachments.

NEW! Tatted Bracelets

Ann H. requested that I make tatted bracelets that could be customized for sizes and that didn't use any hardware.  That was a challenge!  But here they are.  These are done 4 different ways - Type 1 is narrow and Type 2 is wider with extra chains and picots.  Each type is done with and without crystals.  You have to put these together to get to the length you want.  

They don't have to be limited to bracelets either!  I'm hoping that you will send me pictures of what you make with these designs!  

They are on special introductory SALE pricing for a while.  All designs are sent as email attachments.

Tatting 25 - Mylar Bookmarks by Murphy’s Designs


Here are all 6 of the bookmarks done with regular 40 wt. rayon thread and Mylar.


I smaller ones fit a 4x4 inch (100x100 mm) hoop.  The larger ones fit in a 5x7 inch (130x180 mm) hoop size.


I made my tassels.  The red one on the left was done with DMC perle cotton.  The middle one (purple) was done with Wooly Nylon serger thread.  The right one is a serger thread that is variegated gold and block.  That one is a bit hard to see how pretty it is but matches the Mylar sparkle.


I don't know if I would do the Wooly Nylon very often.  It is very soft but it also snags a bit.
