Diane tatted Stumpy in Sulky Blendables, Storm Clouds colour and it might have been the name, but she didn't enjoy tatting this one.

Fox is trekking ever onward with the Crown of Thorns edging she's doing for a hanky and belatedly remembering that a standard hanky is 11 inches along each side which needs about 44 inches of tatting to go around it. She has become re-acquainted with Valdani thread size 12 in some brighter colours and so far so good. The edging grows -slowly. Old Fashioned Heart designed by Etha Schuette in Valdani #12.

Diane uses Tropical Fruit and kept misjudging how much thread it would take to tat a Flowerpiece fragment. She began to think the thread was jinxed and switched to Ocean Sunset. Here is Stumpy in Sulky Blendables Heather. The one in Hydrangea really does remind her of the flowers. The name Earth Pastels doesn't work for her, but it's a pretty colour. Here's another pair in Silver Slate and a whole collection ready to be sent off. King Tut thread in Jewel of the Nile colour is certainly vibrant.

Fox used #80 variegated Lizbeth from Denise, following Jon's Crown of Thorns pattern and managed to get a few repeats done while on vacation. Before she left she finished Karey’s Plain and Fancy Doily using Jess’s HDT, #40 and Delica beads from Miranda.

Jess is still out of town, but she has been working on Mary Maynard's granny afghan pattern and teaching her brothers girlfriend how to tat.

Marty has been enthralled with split chains recently and she started a little string of stuff but ran out of thread. Then she wound on two colors of Sulky and started again, but it lost it's definition and started to look very cramped about the same time she ran out of thread. Then she hunted up a couple of other shuttles with more left-over thread and made this interesting little motif but was disgusted to run out of thread and not be able to find the ball of thread to add more.

Sherry decided her lanyard needed just a little something more so she added an adaptation for her Wisteria pattern from her Branching Encapsulation book.

Vanessa tatted an adaptation from Mary Konior's Patchwork pattern, adding extra picots to the middle and then fraying them.

Wanda finished the insulated cup liner she was working on. The kitty is from Nancy Tracy at Be-Stitched and she guesses it's size 20 thread. The birds, butterfly and flowers are all things made while emptying shuttles in a variety of colors but mostly size 20, although she thinks the blue/white bird is size 40. The only thing she actually tatted specifically for this cup is the grass.
