Vera has posted some of the motifs she has been working on like these that can be used as bookmarks or ornaments. This one is something that she's been wanting to tat for a long time. For Christmas Vera has her stars all assembled and put into small bouquets.

Pop Maria's last tatting for the year is this simple ring and chain edging turned into this gorgeous elegant two tone bracelet.

Batty Tatter enjoyed this Tree Top Ornament from the book Tatting for Today by Marion T. Leyds, but her points didn't quite meet the ring. She added one more ring just below the clover on either side of the points so that it fits the ring better and she's thinking she might just keep this one.

Elsa tatted Robin Perfetti's Magic Square which was translated into French and selected DMC 80 special thread, colours 437 and 169, but the design seemed too airy to use as a bookmark. She added in some tiny inserts to fill the voids. then capped it all off with a tatted triangle and some chained arches to finish it. She found this lovely design for a brooch on a Russian site, but since that's not something she would wear she changed it to a necklace.

Melanie found that keeping track of very small picots used for joining tucked in among a plethora of beads very challenging until she used tiny little loops of contrasting thread.

Diane received an Birthday Ice Drop from Denise in her exchange package. After a marathon of tatting she managed to finish her sister's mantle runner in time for Christmas and of course her sister loved it.

Fox had to face up to it, the row of split rings was wonky, so she bit the bullet, cut it off and started again. she has now completed the first split row again. Sigh.

Margaret tatted another Cosmic Ice Drop in Lizbeth size 20, with green beads and green glass gem using the pattern by Nicola Bowersox.

Marie had to make a few more trinket boxes to replace the ones sold at her shows. She designed these earrings for her baby sister, who has gorgeous blue eyes. Her gift from the tatting exchange included a tatted bell.

Muskaan tatted Snowflake for the Christmas tree by Agnieszka Michalowska, and in size 40, it measures 2¼” across. Round 9 of Agnieszka’s Doily #10 “Pikotek” done in aqua blue without the excess of picots.

Nikki forgot to post her Thanksgiving motifs and it seems a little out of season to post them now, but she's calling this 15 out of her 25.

Sue had this idea for a Christmas wreath. it's done in size 40 Lizbeth Christmas Green with 3 different sized picots randomly tatted along, but it would have looked better with more seed beads in more colours. She found a small motif she tatted that she's not sure what it was for, but it would made a great back for an Ice Drop. After all the snow they got she wanted colourful flowers, not more white stuff, so she tatted Diane's Pink Fudge Ice Drop pattern in size 40 Lizbeth Wildflower Garden.

Pop Maria tatted Day 15 of Lenen Bjorn's 24 Snowflakes in Tatting, followed by Day 16. The folks at Craftree have been regularly tatting the snowflakes in this book so that at the end of the year the whole collection would be done. Here are Days 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23 and 24.

Sarah enjoys the multiple nested shapes, and the clever way Lenore English formed the clover/trefoil at the tips of the inner star one January Reflections snowflake where one ring is made in the round with the star, and the two on either side are made in the following round, and join at the base of the centre ring.

Sue made herself earrings and pendant from Marilee Rockley's latest book and they remind her of summer and watermelons in the sun.

Cindy thought this shade of green would work perfectly with the towel, but now that the tatting is done she's not so sure. This tatted wreath ornament is from when she first learned to tat and she made a lot of them to give away.

Diane is filling up her little tree with Ice Drops so that her guests will have lots to choose from on Christmas Eve. Another day and she added three more Ice Drops to her tree. She finished another Spinning Wheel glass mat from Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior; this time it's in size 20 Lizbeth #615, Yellow Light. Tidying and cleaning left little time for tatting, so she only got one more Ice Drop done. She used some festive shuttles to work on her next Spinning Wheel. Three more Ice Drops are helping to fill her little tree back up. The Spinning Wheel glass mat, from Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior, in size 20 Lizbeth #689, Mint Light. In spite of warm temperatures, Diane has more Ice Drops. Diane shows how she ties the ribbon on to the Ice Drops and then secures it with a dot of glue. In honour of Rudolph there are lots of Ice Drops in red. Her friend Maria received her Ice Drop and Lucky Penny and immediately put them on her tree.

Fox is still zipping along through this row, thanks in part to Rita's large, smooth and wonderful shuttles that hold a lot of thread. She's now on the penultimate row of Renulek's doily.

Jane is giving Frivole's latest star patterns a whirl. The beads she used on her North star are a better fit than the pearls she used on her first try. The sentiment on this tatting never gets old.

Lilas shows a lovely tatted ornament and a Christmas greeting. This Christmas ball pattern is by Renulek.

Marie shows us her 3rd version of princess earrings. She can't remember where she found this angel pattern. This one is II Chiacchierine by Anteneela De Nittis. This one is from Be-Stitched. This wee angel was found on Pinterest. She doesn't know where this cross came from either. Here are all the treasures from her secret Santa.

Muskaan had to give Ice Drops a try and shows her progress through the pattern. She tatted Grace Tan's 3D Christmas Tree with ornaments which turned out 2 inches high in size 20 thread.
