2013 25 Motif Challenge #2 And Give-Away!! :)

Ok....I realized this week I now have 100 followers in this my 4th year on the blog.  I am stunned!!!

I tatted this in the past couple of days and really like how it turned out!!  It's Small Round #11 from the Ultimate Book of Tatted Doilies.  It's tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Island Breeze and Raspberry Pink Med.  I hope to be able to tat this again in the reverse(the Raspberry for the chains and the Island breeze for the rings).  It's a great pattern for someone who is looking for something a little fancy with just rings and chains. In the size 40 thread it measures only 4 1/2 inches across(it's small, but sweet).  :)

As for the Give-Away.  I am planning on this doily and some "goodies" to be given to one of my followers.  Please leave a comment on this post if you are interested and next Friday May 3, I will use a random number generator to choose the winner.  I wish you all the best and have a great weekend!!  :)

2012 25 Motif Challenge: Motif # 8 Flower Burst Doily

This is the Flower Burst Doily from the Ultimate Book of Tatted Doilies. It's tatted with size 40 Lizbeth Tropical Punch and Lemon Yellow. It's pretty, but not beautiful. I could not get the chains to lay right, but that's ok for now.

Next is another suncatcher. This one is done in size 40 Lizbeth Juicy Watermelon(one of my favorite colors). I love this one(it looks better in person), and my husband has claimed it and has already demanded that it be put in the window next to our bed(his side of the bed of course). :)
This is Sue Hanson's Val's Suncatcher:  http://freespace.virgin.net/bo.hanson/Tatting/CrystalRing/CrystalsRing.html

And....just because I am loving these flowers...here are more(and another run-out-of thread fragment.
