Necklace, Pendant, Snowflakes, Crosses, Doilies and Motifs

Jane finished the Diana necklace pattern by Gunhild Fette which adds beads to a single shuttle split ring and gives her one more technique mastered.

Ginny loves Marilee Rockley's Rotation pattern which she purchased on Etsy.

Julie has tatted 4 of Diane's snowflakes that use a centre finding and sent them home with her sister as a belated Christmas gift.

Diane is making slow progress on her latest cross, being careful to follow the pattern line by line. Starting with a partially filled shuttle meant having to stop and add thread.

Fox was ready to throw in the towel, but with a little encouragement she was persuaded to persist and the results were certainly worth it.

Michelle has tatted several of Lene Bjorn's Camilla bookmark as gifts for graduating students. A lovely surprise package from Fox included some of her delightful tatting.

mb duke joins the challenge with Jane's Bookmark Cross adapted by Grace Tan.

Carrie finished Marilee Rockley's Remembrance ring which  will go to a friend in Indianapolis.

Laurie has learned to tat cluny leaves and proudly shows us her two first clunies.

Jane finished the choker and made a pair of twirly earrings to go with it. Jon's Daisy Pin is the flower that Jane used to make this bib necklace. She dyed some thread in preparation for tatting Gunhild's pattern Diana, then found the winding and unwinding to get the beads in the right place was a bit of a challenge.

Wooroosa is back to tatting after a long hiatus, with this lovely pastel doily.

Kristen started on a flowery decoration from Projects in Tatting to be used on a pillowcase. It didn't go well. So of course she tried again, and again and the chains just won't lay right.So she set it aside for now and picked up another design that she can use in a row.

Cindy finished round 3 of the Jan Stawasz doily without any trouble and went on to round 4. Here's round 4 in Lizbeth Latte Foam, Size 20 completed.

Diane's latest Spinning Wheel Glass Mat by Mary Konior is done in Gold Dust HDT by Marilee Rockley. She had enough of the thread left over to make a cross bookmark but she isn't crazy about how the tassel looks. All of these lovelies were tatting in one skein of the Gold Dust thread. She has another Workbasket cross started.

Fox's favourite feline is surrounded in tatting. The Suzanne Schwencke’s patterns and is a really interesting tat done in Karey Solomon's HDT. A coin saved from Queen Elizabeth's coronation has a new home in a tiny felt pocket decorated with tatting. This little one inch pattern is by Jennifer WIlliams. Using her arsenal of pencils, markers and scissors, she has called upon all of her pattern aids to master this design.

Marie tatted Camilla, another cross form Tatted Bookmarks, by Lene Bjorn. This is one of the Christmas balls she made for an aunt and forgot to take a picture of it at the time.

Martha's strange looking tatted bit was a trial run for a spectacular dragon. Then there's the baby dragon.

Michelle wanted to makes something special for her daughter for her prom. Frivole generously shared the pattern for the bracelet base. Add a couple of flowers and some leaves and the result if a keepsake wrist corsage the perfectly matches her daughter's dress.  Anika's HDT, both colors were used for this Rita Weiss' design bookmark. The little cross was a present for a colleague. Jane's bookmark that Grace Tan converted into this lovely cross, would have looked even better in 2 colours.

Sue tatted more suncatchers, one in size 40 Lizbeth Island Breeze with blue beads and one in size 40 Lizbeth Scottish Thistle and purple and green beads. The Hearts bookmarks by Dee Powell from the book Tatted Bookmarks Needle & Shuttle.  is tatted in size 40 Tat-ilicious HDT from Jess called Queen Anthias but when it was dampened for blocking the colour ran a little, so this is one she'll keep. She used size 40 Lizbeth paired with quilting thread for the chains and doubled that stitch count on the chains to tat the Blue Coaster from the Big Book of Tatting designs by Darlene Polachic, which obviously isn't blue.

Necklaces, Snowflakes, Bookmarks, Doilies, Motifs and Basket

Jane did another necklace using only one colour and lost the X and O effect. She's working on earrings to go with it. She added bugle beads to this choker and she'll have to concentrate as she weaves the red foundation row through the ring before closing.

Nancy tried out Lizbeth's Cranberry Bush for these snowflakes  for her eldest daughter's Christmas tree, using online patterns.

Linda made CQ cards for some people and will tuck inside an angel and bookmark.

Ancolie tatted Mary Konior's Filet pattern in DMC 80.

Cindy has finished round 2 of the Jan Stawasz doily after starting it twice. Several people have said that his diagrams are confusing.

Diane is working on her latest Spinning Wheel glass mat and although she has lost the tag, she thinks the name of this Marilee Rockley HDT is Gold Dust.  The motif is Flower Fragment from A Pattern Book of Tatting by Mary Konior done in a pale pink, size 20 Lizbeth #621.

Fox really enjoyed tatting the centre of this design from a Danish Magazine, which she tried two ways. It was the outer round that she found trying. This little motif by Elgiva Nicholls is pretty small and is very tight between the elements so that you can barely see the twisted picots.

IsDihara used Lizbeth size 20 #156 Juicy Watermelon to tat Susanne Schwenke's triangle motif.

Jess finished the raspberry round of the wedding doily and now she's working on one in cream and daffodil. She started another round in Lizbeth size 40 silver but she has just about run out, needing only about 5 more yards and she can't find the ball. Can anyone help?

Marie tatted the Split Ring Cross by Wendy Durrel in Lizbeth, size 20, Leaf Green Med and Tropical Punch. The mixing of the colours in Leaf Green Med and Ecru gave this one a Celtic effect.

Mica likes this snowflake so much she couldn't resist tatting it with one strand of DMC metallic floss.

Michelle has mastered interlocking rings with a shuttle, now to figure out what to do with it. This lovely HDT thread was used to make a basket from an old Tatsy pamphlet.

Wanda stitched rows of thread onto this cloth to hang tatting from. Then it was draped over a cardboard box to create and instant display case for the craft show. Unfortunately after all the work involved the sales were dismal due to the weather, the location and a poorly planned event.
