Krystle tatted the same bookmark in Flora size 10 thread, but one was tatted 8 weeks ago and the other tatted recently and yes we can see the improvement. The second one has better tension with more even stitches and picots.
Connie Angeline received her Valentine exchange tea towel so now she can show that towel she sent and the one received. The edging is from an old Workbasket and is presented upside down to resemble hearts and the heart motif itself is Betsey Evans design. Connie still doesn't know who her partner was that sent her this towel with it's scattered hearts.
This is Charlotte's first attempt at working with fine thread. The pattern is Mary Konior's Patchwork tatted in YLI cotton machine quilting thread in the mango colourway.
Kelly tatted a doily called called "That Medallion Again" shown here with 16 more mini motifs added around it's perimeter and a finishing row of chain to pull it all together. It's lovely and if your sister in law doesn't love it you can send it my way. These tiny shamrocks are a modification of the celtic butterfly wings. Aren't they adorable?
Angie finished the yellow hanky edging and attached it to a piece of linen that she had. Ellen Lai's shamrock bookmark was the quickest thing she could tat for a birthday gift.

Vinnie has been playing with mignonette tatting over some shiny beads. They would make lovely buttons or depending on the size they would also make lovely earrings, especially the covered flower bead.
Heather has a new butterfly design on her blog. This sample is done in Grapity - Lime HDT. It's so cute!

Wally tatted up an assortment of Jane Eborall's earring pattern and then did a modified version to create a pin. Jane Eborall's technique was used for these sequins, then Wally adapted it for smaller sequins and added some beads. She plans on making it into a hair pin. This simple flower is made by joining the sequins in the ring with picots between them and then a tatted chain forms the petals.
