Lots of Lizbeth thread!

Laurette joins the challenge and used the Blue Doily pattern by Eileen Stafford to make this pair of doiles The first one was the top one with white chain with green rings, and the second has the colors reversed. The thread is DMC size 12 perle cotton.

Mica tatted the Ribbon -Floss Snowflake from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman worked in Kreinik braid No. 4. She tried out the Shuttle brother's SCMR butterfly in DMC 80. Another little snowflake from Tatted Snowflakes. This one is "Tiny Snowflake" and it really is tiny even when made with Kreinik No. 4 braid.


Chiara tatted the Funny Face Bookmark by Jane Eborall in variegated brown DMC perlè 8 and DMC white 10. Eyes are 2 black plastic pearls and nose a Swarovki red crystal.

Laura's been at snowflakes again and has 2 more lovely flakes done in all kinds of threads. She's also been tatting up the Lizbeth thread she got in the thread exchange and has been hard at work at bobbin lace.

Happy Easter and Creative Tatting

Mica formally known as JMM has completed motif #5 which is a snowflake from 24 Snowflakes in Tatting and is made with one strand of DMC metallic floss which gave her one heck of a time. She is now working on a doily called Mani Di Fata and you will have to visit her blog for the details.






Krystle is experimenting with size 80 thread and has tatted YarnPlayer's Quadrille pattern.




Jill has finished motifs 19 and 20 a heart ornament and a cross made using a Mary Konior's pattern. I think the heart turned out very well.

Steph is practising the daisy picot technique using YarnPlayers butterfly bookmark pattern.

Vinnie is showing us her creativity and she has designed her own 2 motifs for # 23 and #24 she is also working on Iris's TIAS.







Carolyn has made a sun-catcher by Birgit Phelps in bright spring colours for motif #24.





Kathy has decorated two eggs for Easter and not only is there tatting but they have a major WOW about them.





Tattingchic has her holidays confused I think because it looks like Santa came to visit not the Easter Bunny.

Nita has adapted a pattern that she found for motif #12. Does anyone know the designer?

Ellen has used some more of her tatting to create more beautiful Artist Trading Cards (ATC).





Carol has tatted Mary and her little lambs. I think with so many lambs that Mary is going to be kept busy.
