Baby Booties, Bracelet, Bookmarks, Doily, Necklace, Butterflies and Flowers

Margaret tatted these booties in Lizbeth white no 20 and the ribbon is rainbow by Spiral, but she's not sure where the pattern came from as all she has is the page marked on the top - Three-dimensional patterns.

Marie did the Pearl Bracelet pattern from Nina Libin's, "One Shuttle, Lots of Beads" done in DMC Metallic Embroidery thread.

Laurette tatted this bookmark from the Be-Stitched.com site in size 20 Lizabeth Vineyard Harvest and Leaf Green Med for the border.

Julie is currently working on Jon Yusoff's Star in Clovers tatted with Tat-alicious' "patriotic" thread. She decided to mount it in a ring so that it can be hung for the holidays.

Kristen is moving, which will result in more time to tat and decided she to move her blog as well. Want to guess what this new project is? Jon's Overlapping Chains bookmark was tatted using Lizbeth thread and made long enough to hang out both ends of the book, although she put it aside for a while before adding the outer rounds. The mystery project is the beginnings of Marilee Rockley's Ripple Tatted Necklace pattern.

Fox tatted the pattern by Anni Hansen from Iris' book in LadyShuttleMaker's Magnolia HDT size 50. The rompers decorated in tatting were made by Suneeti who thinks they might be too "girly" for a boy. Umintsuru and Fox decided to work together through Julie Patterson’s Just Marking Tome. Umintsuru chose Lizbeth #80 Desert Boom for the ‘Petals Variation’ pattern and Fox chose Krystle’s #80 Wisteria Lane for the ‘Eye Spy’ pattern.

IsDihara tatted the Washington, D.C. Cherry Blossom by Anita Barry in Lizbeth size 20 Pink Parade with Hakelgarn 20 White for the centre. Georgia Seitz posted the pattern for anyone who would like to make some for the Palmetto Tat Days scholarship quilt in size 30 or smaller thread.

Earrings, Doilies, Motifs, Bookmarks, Dragon, Parrot, and Edging

Margaret received these pay it forward earrings from Wendy tatted in Country Kitchen Lizbeth 40 with Swarovski crystal beads.

Marie's first attempt at creating a doily was made with three colors of Star, size 80 tatting thread but the last two rows were a little tight. The finished doily was made with size 30 crochet threads and measures just over 7 inches across.

 

SunshineCraft shows us her tatted blob AKA the clover doily by Eileen Stafford. It takes so little time to do the first couple of rows it seems like you could do several, until reality sets in and you realize each row gets bigger and takes longer to complete.
 

Bree has begun tatting ornaments for her Christmas tree since they are downsizing to a 2.5 foot tree. These two are in Lizbeth, lime green, size 20. She is planning on using finer thread for larger designs.
 

Diane's newest Stumpy bookmarks are done in Sulky Blendables Iris. She's been using what's left of her skein of Easter in August from Anika to make pretty butterflies and flowers from Tatting Collage by Lindsay Rogers.

Fox has been frustrated by Tatting Together Square Motifs by Iris Niebach although this pattern by Liz Christiansen worked out quite well on the first try. She modified a cross pattern by Julie Patterson and tatted it in HDT by Krystle. Another modified cross pattern was done in HDT by Tat-ilicious

Frances shares her Empress Flower Garden suncatcher, tatted with size 40 thread in Lizbeth Ocean Sunset and dark Green which will be sent off to a friend for her birthday.

IsDihara tatted Anne's minor Norwegian dragon with sparkly gold, but sadly after suffering a mishap with the dogs he's missing his head. The owner of Toothless the dragon wants Mommy to fix him, giving him 2 heads and feet making a Hideous Zippleback.

Kelly, with some trepidation, needle tatted Jane's wonderful new parrot pattern in Altin Basak threads and it worked out very well.

Sue finished tatting the butterfly edging in size 40 Lizbeth Girly Girl and sewed it onto a skort. 2 separate butterflies were added to the hem.

Wanda rediscovered a picture she had given her mother years ago that had been embellished with tatting. Seeing it years later explains why you ought to use acid free paper and glues that don't turn colour with age.

 

Bookmarks, Heart, Necklaces, Motifs, Doilies, Edgings, Bracelet, Earrings and Snowflakes

Margaret tatted several bookmarks from the Free Tatting Patterns web site. The first one was done with Lizbeth Rainbow Taffy and white size 20. The heart is Happy Heart by Joelle Paulson also done in Rainbow Taffy. Kersti's Floral Tatted Bookmark was done in Lizbeth Falling Leaves. These crosses were done in Lizbeth Purple Splendor and white both in size 20 thread. The next Floral Tatted Bookmark was tatted in Lizbeth Purple Splendor and the other Lizbeth Falling Leaves and white.
 

Marie tatted a necklace from Nina Libin's, "One Shuttle, Lots of Beads" in Lizbeth Autumn Spice size 20.

Laurette tatted this trio called Lace Elegance from Tatting Doilies & Edgings edited by Rita Weiss in size 20 Lizbeth Sea Scape #125.

Linda tatted Marilee Rockley's new tatting pattern, One Small Candle and used Lizbeth 657 Ocean Turquoise Dk, for the candle base, 623 Raspberry Pink Lt for the candle and the flame was done in 614 Lemon Lt. She was looking for a pattern to fit a 2012 penny for a wedding gift and Nancy Tracy's Tatted Medallion was a perfect fit. A ribbon is woven around and tied with a bow at the bottom. Another one of Nancy's patterns, Fields of Clover Doily, was completed in only 2 hours and will go to the Art League for a raffle during the fair.
 

Ancolie found this motif quick to work up and it's number 9 for her challenge.

Anne created a transit of Venus based on a pattern by Ellen Lai.

Diane tatted the familiar Stump in Sulky Blendables Country Colonial colour and that gives her another set to send off to Chris. She finished another Spinning Wheel glass mat this one is in HDT from Anika.

Fox is almost done the edging and that has her planning out some new patterns. Finally though, Jon’s Crown of Thorns tatted in Lizbeth size 80 is done. The motif she was working on as a break from it is Proud Beauty from The Tatter’s Treasure Chest. Just to keep herself obsessively ammused, she spent several hours working on perfecting things like picot conformity, stitch formation and single shuttle split rings.

Frances found the Empress edging Frivole had been using in The Tatters Treasure Chest and she got out her Ocean Sunset and green and tatted it as a medallion. One row looked good so she added another. It reminds her of stained glass and she's thinking of adding yet another row to it.

Frivole modified the Quatrain pattern to make a bookmark, but she didn't like the cutting tying and hiding ends. So she gave it a re-think and came up with this one. Then she tried some other options but they didn't look like the original which she really likes. Here's another variation with flowers down the centre and she has some more ideas to try.

 

Jess has Iris Neibach's Tatting Together square motifs and selected Lis Christiansen's pattern but the rings are very large and the chains are very long so she decided to scale the entire pattern down by only doing half the prescribed stitches. Here it is with her own Mindanao Gum size 80 with Lizbeth Fudge Dk size 80.  

Michelle tatted Lynn Morton's bracelet again and she likes it better this time because she reduced the ds on the chains and it looks more balanced to her although she wishes she had used something other than a magnetic clasp. The earring is being modeled by her daughter and the pattern takes after something she saw somewhere on the internet.

StephanieGrace wanted to tat some sunshine for Jane and this was the results. Although the heat has her thinking more along the lines of snow, like Elegant Snowflake from Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman done in LizBeth size 20 in white. This Ribbon-Floss Snowflake from the same book is tatted with blue perle cotton.
 

Sue has plans to tat a lot of bracelets for the women's ministry weekend so she's doing a simple design in a rainbow of colours and adding a heart to each one.

Vanessa tatted one of Mary Konior's designs in a sunny yellow to grace a lovely hanky.
