Julie used Yarnplayer's Sugar Maple HDT to tat Mary Konior's Black Magic from Tatting With Visual Patterns. She used a lock stitch chain and a modified section of the design for a tail.

Sue received her copy of the Ring of Tatters newsletter which resulted in this lovely bracelet being tatted while she lazed in the sun drinking her coffee.

Nancy has a necklace and earring set done using the "Landing" pattern by Tatting Box. She also has a charming pair of tatted booties done.

Diane is almost finished this round of her "Masterpiece" doily. This is round 9 completed of the Jan Stawasz Masterpiece, and it now measures 19 inches.

Fox found the problem with the oval design. It seems a chain didn't get joined where it should resulting in a missing pattern repeat. She fixed it by adding an extra ring, and it looks okay at first glance, but adding the next row might ruin it so she's going to stop for now. The cap that refused to cup is starting to cup now that she's using the right thread.

Kristen tatted this interwoven piece and used size 20 for the white and size 40 for the colours. She met up with another Canberra tatter they have both been working on a Jan Stawasz pattern from Tatting Theory and Patterns. Lots of individual motifs have been tatted.

Marie made this lovely bracelet to go with her swirl earrings. One design led to another and she made this bracelet. What's a bracelet and earrings without a pendant? Here's the complete set.

Muskaan experimented with inverted curled tatting and concluded that it's a great technique for 3D designs. The pattern for this example jewellery motif is available in PDF.

Phyllis has been doing a lot of test tatting by in between she made the green doily, from the Spring 2015 issue of the Bulletin of IOLI, called Whirl by Randy Houtz.  The snowflakes are from the book The Complete Book of Tatting by Rebecca Jones.

HisKid made this bookmark for one of the men in the senior's group who likes yellow and white, so she used size 40 Lizbeth Pineapple Parfait for this bookmark.

Wanda tatted her own "Mandy" Edging in Lizbeth #694 Harvest Orange Medium and #692 Mocha Brown Dark size 10 to border a runner.

Motifs, Doilies, Baby Booties, Bonnet, TIAS and Angels

Lelia has been tatting little doodles to give away on April 1st is International Tatting Day

Ginny is on to row 5 of Renulek's Spring Doily.

Nancy has shaped the hanky into a baby bonnet and it, with the adorable booties are ready to be shipped off.

SunshineCraft has a lot of unfinished projects, but she did complete Jane Eborall's TIAS sailboat. Here lie 2 doilies and an edging, incomplete because she keeps getting distracted by even more lovely patterns.

Fox is using red Lizbeth on the next row of Renulek's Spring Doily, but she's having fits over fuzz in the thread and inconsistent thickness.

Margaret tatted Marjorie's Angel in Lizbeth Pineapple Parfait, which seemed appropriate as a decoration for a card for her mother, whose name is Marjorie. The pattern was so much fun she did more Marjorie's angels in Lizbeth Christmas Green Mix and Girly Girl, both size 20. All the angels halo's were done with Madeira silver thread.

Earrings, Bonnet, Necklaces, Motifs, Bookmarks, Doilies, Teapot and Bracelet

Cigdem has decided to join the challenge and her first pieces are a pair of chandelier earrings.

Carrie has been working on a baby bonnet for her girlfriend who is expecting, using a pattern from NIN which she didn't realize was sized for a preemie baby, so she'll need some help re-sizing it. She has also done Ripple necklaces by Marilee Rockley in Aunt Lydia's size 10 black and Mexicana for the twins, her Mom and her sister.

Barbara tatted a design from Jon Yusoff's Elegant Tatting Gems which called Mustika in Lizbeth size 20 #637 Country Grape, Med.

Mistene used Lizbeth No. 20, color 621, Dusty Rose Light to tat Zamrud, which came out smaller than some of the others. Almas was done in Lizbeth No. 20, color 644, Boysenberry Dark.

Jane has more bookmarks done and the last batch used a classic pattern she's done before. She now has 20 completed, a few more than were commissioned, but she wanted a little leeway.

Nancy tatted a "mini" version of Mary Konior's Spinning Wheel Glass Mat in Lizbeth size 20 Leaf Green Med and Pistachio Green Lt., for a friend who wanted a smaller, coaster size, design.

Fox added some picots to the Josephine knots and suddenly had a pretty motif. Another motif she has been working on is a Jan Stawasz design which is being tatted in #40 Lizbeth. Frivole suggested adding a white chain to Fox' design and it really made it pop. She also had to try out this design by Corina Meyfeldt with the unusual bead placement. Here is Fox' design re-worked and tatted by Ladytats is size 80 DMC.

Marie liked the pink and grey colours she was working with and tatted the design again switching the colours.

Martha received so many requests for her Celtic Button Teapot Pattern that it's now available in her Etsy shop.

Sue got lots of practice making SSSRs doing this piece in size 40 Lizbeth Lilac Dk. and Lizbeth Caribbean. Then she wove one chain through the other. It wasn't large enough for the bracelet she wanted, but it was good practice. She tatted the center of the Flower Burst doily from the book Ultimate Book of Tatted Doilies in size 60 Flame Lantana from Tatskool.
