Easter Egg, Doily, Motifs, Butterflies, Flowers, Bookmarks and Edging

Marie has encapsulated a unakite cabochon using two strands of metallic gold sewing thread to make a pendant.

JB tatted Egg #12 in HDT colour "Snowflake" by Marilee Rockley. Egg #23 was tatted in another HDT colour Cloud 9 also by Marilee Rockley. And here is her Easter tree with all the lovely eggs on it.

Laurette used Lizabeth Denim Whisper #120 to tat design 52 from Tatting - 60 Original Lace Treasures by Christel Weidman.

Jess tatted the centre for Iris Neibach's "Nora" doily from Tatted Doilies in her own Rainbow-licious Size 40 and attached it to a hair clip. Jess started Anne Bruvold's Dragon wing doily in one of her recent dye colour trials. The final doily is paired up with the One Shuttle Chevron Heart by Jess.

Axa tatted a celtic style egg by Helen Bailey using Anchor Artiste size 20.

Garyo has found the magic thread technique, where a loop of thread is tatted over and used to pull the finishing ends in, works very well on the motifs used in this piece.

Jessica has been working on her tatted garland for Christmas this year and emptying shuttles for the upcoming Shuttlebirds event.

Linda always manages to get some tatting on her CQ blocks. Like the butterfly on this heart.

Ancolie did another ATC for May embellished with a flower motif.

Diane tried out another of the Sulky blendable colours, Caramel Apple, using Kersti's Stumpy, of course.

Fox used the new #40 thread from Jess on this edging and she likes how the dark colour is consistently at the top. She was sent a picture of Karen's Tischband tatting. The first one is in Finca thread that Fox sent her and the second one was done in size 40 Olympus. The bookmark is a Lenore English pattern, tatted in and unknown #40 with silk from Krystle with three different colours of beads.

Katherinne was really pleased at how this celtic knot cross was coming out, until she realized that she had missed a picot and 5 stitches on one of the early chains. Of course she didn't notice it until the cross was almost completed.

Kathy's Easter display includes the collar by Gloria Crowther and the felt bag she did last year decorated with a ’string’ of Eliz Davis’ butterflies. Above the word “spring’ is a bookmark by Julie Patterson, done in Caron Wildflower thread.

Michelle's sister asked her to tat a ladybug, and using Jon's pattern for a daisy as inspirations this is what she came up with. Diane sent her some Oliver Twist thread and each sample was just the right size for this Mary Konior cross. She ordered a quad pen and some HDT from Sherry and used it to tat this Mary Konior cross. She tatted some of Wanda's bunny pattern for two young ladies. Here's a picture of all of the Oliver Twists thread crosses taken in daylight. Lastly here is a modified version of the Green Knots pattern available at inTatters.

Sherry worked on this medallion tatted in Pear Glace size 20 HDT.

Tattabugg joined the Spring exchange on intatters and tatted her favourite butterfly, the Pipevine Swallowtail pattern by Debbie Arnold. The black thread is size 80 DMC and the lovely blue variegated is either yarnplayers Aqua Bay or one from ladyshuttlemaker, but it's tag is missing and she's not sure.

Motifs, Necklace, Earrings, Easter Egg, Doilies, Edging, Bookmarks and Scottie Dog

Carol is joining the challenge and begins with Jon Yusoff's Cintamani snowflake from Elegant Tatted Gems done in Lizbeth size 20 Caribbean Breeze.

Marie decided to take the cabochons she previously crafted in silver, and encapsulate them in tatting. This one is jade with two strands of metallic gold sewing thread in the tatting. This necklace is done with red glass baubles using grass green and strawberry pink thread and the pattern from her book, Baubles and Motifs II. The matching earrings have gold filled ear wires.

JB did egg #18 from the Tatted Easter Eggs in Lizbeth Salmon Med. size 20. She's not a fan of dimpled rings because they often result in broken thread but this is a really pretty egg.

Frivole has been working on this long term project for a while, but she's decided to stop here. The design is from Tatting Patterns, reprints of designs from the Workbasket Magazine.

Jess has been in the dye pots again with the results that she has a more vivid Rainbowlicious HDT.

Garyo has been working on this design by Teiko Fujito. Little by little it grew. It's being worked in Lizbeth #40 Spring Garden and it's at the stage where it doesn't look like much is happening, but it's getting bigger.

Jessica started on a new edging from Priscilla Book #3 using a variegated thread. She's re-written it to short form and included the re-write on her blog.

Ancolie has started the challenge again. On this trendy bag she embroidered an Eiffel Tower on one side and added a tatted motif to the other side. She participated in an Easter theme ATC exchange and included some tatted motifs.

Diane was thrilled that one skein of Yarnplayer's Nectarine HDT made all of these goodies.

Fox was sent a thoughtful gift from La Cosette, a shuttle commemorating Misha who passed away last year, mailed, complete with a tiny logo motif. The doily is one of Karey Solomon's designs from a booklet called Sweet Knottings tatted in size 80 thread. The blue vintage thread came from Tattin'Kat thread and the white thread is fairly new but broke 6 times.

Kelly stopped in at a thrift store and found some hankies both with and without tatting and a lovely round doily in fine thread.

Sherry has covered the border of her little one's dress with prancing Scottie dogs.

Wanda made an edging with size 20 Lizbeth #115 Springtime, just tatting with an idea of what she wanted and it looks like it's coming out beautifully. She brought some tatting to the show and tell at the senior's centre and she was surprised at how much tatting she had on hand.
