2011: 25 Motif Challenge- Motifs 22,23,24,&25

Wow! I was actually able to get 25 done for the challenge this year. I have done other things, but I don't like to count repeats.
I tatted some motifs to put in photo coasters for a Christmas present.

First is Mary Konior's Queen of Hearts from Tatting with Visual Patterns in size 100 Rainbow Bright HDT from Tatskool. (I messed up a chain in this-shhhhh) #22

Next: Mary Konior's Posy from Tatting with Visual Patterns in size 40 Lizbeth Fruit Fizz. (I messed up the joins in this-shhhhh) #23

Next: Tatted Cross by Mark Myers in size 40 Lizbeth Lilac Dk. (I left out 2 rings in this-shhhh)

--this is a repeat so it's not counted

Next: Knobby Snowflake from Christmas Angels and Other Tatting Patterns by Monica Hahn in size 40 Lizbeth Rainbow Taffy and Lemon Yellow. (I think I didn't mess this up, but it's just slightly large for the coaster). #24

Last: I just tatted this this morning. I saw it on Mary's site:

and hers are gorgeous!!! She posted the pattern and I couldn't wait to try it.

It's done in size 40 Lizbeth Rainbow Taffy. It's so very pretty, but not quite as awesome as Mary's. :)

2011: 25 Motif Challenge- Motif #6

I tried to start the Mary Konior Windmills pattern from Tatting with Visual Patterns a few weeks back and didn't succeed(this time), but I really think using the 100 size thread wasn't the best choice(although, I thought rainbow windmills would look awesome).

Yesterday I finished tatting 2 crosses(Mary Konior's Large Cross from tatting with Visual Patterns) for my husband just like the one I made for him here:https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8qSS9SI5jGqVf_RxCuFjvNKdWzyT7-rpSn634KllZkeGgJfvpfIXtHssFxhVlPZNPvpOFkrmJRWV_hTOM3UhzkW7ar_FxdhjbWtwFtXKTPM6603Ap4jx5DnntZCWF3NVspuDqG1cZXuU/s1600/lg+cross+for+Richard.jpg
And then I really needed a huge break from the size 10 thread to make those crosses in 4 days, so I grabbed the beautiful Rainbow Bright size 100 HDT from Tatskool and tried Mary Konior's Carnival pattern in Tatting with Visual Patterns. I have to say that I was confused by this pattern, but I really wanted to tat it in color because I don't know how you can look at a pattern named Carnival and think plain white.
