Doilies, Hearts, Horseshoes and Mosquitoes

Beverly has joined the challenge and her first motif is one which she designed and it's (in case you can't guess) a Georgia mosquito. The second piece in the is an original design in the manner of a humming bird. The cute little Butterfly Snowflake doily pattern is by Samantha Melnychuk.
Madge tatted Lynn Morton's horseshoe design. Then she did a second version with beads and a third slightly different variation.
Shirl shows us her polymer clay tatting shuttle, hot out of the oven.
Hye-Soon has posted Midnight and the Spinning Wheel glass mat from Mary Konior. Ancolie tatted a new doily in DMC 40 using a pattern called Cristal. From the book "frivolité fine et précieuse". Ellen joined some ATC enthusiasts in an exhibit at the library and proudly displayed her tatting embellished ATCs.She has created another alphabet paperclip and has plans to share a pattern with Georgia's Online class. Heather has finally revealed that the mystery tatting is for a new book "Tatted Earrings and Things". She was doodling with her shuttles when she created this flower and the open ring designed flower is a variation on an edging she saw in a book. Victats Ruffled Heart design was so interesting to work on that she stay up late to complete it.

Tatting Chic tested some SummerTrail HDT that Yarnplayer did in both DMC and Lisbeth thread size 20. She used Vicki's Ruffled Heart to test both threads. Here is DMC on the left and Lizbeth on the right.
Wally used Altin Basak #10 with silver filament and without the filament for the center to make these flowers and an acrylic heart holds the tassel. Wally wasn't sleeping so she tatted up this small pendant with a pearl surrounded by red beads.
