2012 25 Motif Challenge: Motif #23

I have been working on these for some time now and gave a little glimpse the other day.  Here they are all completed and ready to give my mother-in-law for Christmas this year.  She had seen the flowers I had made quite awhile back and said they would make a great collar edging, so...I decided that would be a great gift for her this year, and her favorite color is blue so I did a blue edging too-which is my challenge #23.















This edging is from Tatting Doilies & Edgings edited by Rita Weiss.  It is from pg. 33 Gift Edgings(the bottom edging in the picture).  It's tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Peacock Blues.















This one is my flower design based on Mary's Butterfly( http://maryshandmade.blogspot.com/ ).
It's tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Island Breeze(funny, in the picture the colors look like swirling pinwheels).
Can't wait to see her face!!!  I might have to remember my camera quicker this year!!!  :)
