2012 25 Motif Challenge

Motif #1 is Tatted Heart from the Handy Hands catalog for Jan.-Dec. 2011 done in size 40 Lizbeth Rainbow Taffy.
Motif # 2 is the 5 pointed motif on the right in size 40 Lizbeth Christmas Red and the pattern is from here: http://www.middia.net/domocredix/index.php?id_kat=1&id=16
The center top one is the first try in which I some how wasn't smart enough that day to count 4 instead of 5. :D
The rest in this set are just random tattings which I did during the holidays whenever I could get a break.
The 3 red hearts(2 with stud earrings) are going to be a necklace and earring set for a young girl when I get the silver chain for the necklace and I finish off the ends.
There is a very white size 80 snowflake in the center which I have done before and the pattern is here: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxKhtrg2Lz1UVUTaVIcYuXZr-03CRF8jAVnY7ZIWUNOKx7Sr77sJWKeKf7YaWjwv7VgrkdkV8c1Ybfp5MJoj7ijkJH2xcP7HwAIBq7C6yzeABwvMFNlnroAwFZO2IZ1TJAQkWkFj18-IQ/s1600/PC022879.JPG
And all the butterflies and hearts are just from emptying shuttles.

Motif #3 is a hanky edging. From Mary Konior's Tatting with Visual Patterns. This is Asters done is size 40 Lizbeth Purple Iris Fusion. I gave this as a Christmas gift to a friend.

2011: 25 Motif Challenge- Motif #17

I have tatting to show!!! :)
Since our move I have gotten a little tatting done. Here is Mary Konior's Asters edging from Tatting with Visual Patterns on a headband. It's tatted in Lizbeth size 40 Juicy Watermelon with red beads. The only change I made in the pattern was using extra long picots to make joins and to create ends for it.(I think it's actually prettier in real life).

Here is a view showing the stretchy headband I used.

I checked out a book at the library called Traditional Tatting Patterns edited by Rita Weiss and found a beautiful square doily I wanted to try. It's called Filigree Scroll. I only got the center done, but I was trying to loosen my stitches a bit and I don't like the result of the center so I will have to try again. I love the color choices I made though. They are both HDTs :size 40 Celery by YarnPlayer, and size 50 Fushia by LadyShuttlemaker-AWESOME colors!!!


Note: anyone looking for tablecloth patterns to tat....I found 2 in this book and they are gorgeous! :)
