A finish to the volunteer's crosses(I think). ;)

So...I finally filled in the center with just rings. 
It made it pucker a little, but if I blocked it I 
am sure it would be flat.
Next is an idea I got in my head.  It is small, 
but I figure some like small crosses.  I also 
wrote down the pattern and added that next 
time I need to add joining picots to the center 
corners for more stability and to keep the 
chains from overlapping.  I like the design. 
Both designs and most of the others have been 
tatted in size 10 thread.  I am thinking this 2nd 
cross would make great cross earring in size 40 
and shorten the bottom a little and leave off the 
"tail".
Have a great tatting filled weekend!!! :)

Continuing crosses

Continuing to tat crosses for volunteers. 
This first one is an Elaine P. Gan design. 

The second is out of my head trying to 
empty the shuttle from the first cross.  
I am sure someone has tatted a similar 
one at some point.  I am trying to figure 
out how I want to fill the center.  
I believe I only have 1 more to get done, 
but since I have another week I might tat 
a few extra if I have time.
Have a great day and happy tatting!! :)
