2014 25 Motif Challenge # 10

This is Rose Medallion # 39 from Tatting with Anne Orr.

It's tatted in size 40 Fairy Dust HDT from Tat-ilicious, and Lizbeth Lilac Med.

 The picture below gives you an idea of the size compared to the Vine Medallion tatted in size 3.

In the book they are both tatted in size 40 and the Rose medallion seems a little larger, but with the size 3 it dwarfs in size(just a bit).     :)
Oh, if I remember correctly, I followed the pattern on the Vine Medallion(the big one) and yet noticed that the picture showed 8 rings around the center ring, yet the pattern calls for only 7 picots so I just did what I read.  Either way I love it!

My daughter is reading a book(downloaded to her tablet) titled Love by the Letter by Melissa Jagears and she was telling me that it mentions the girl tatting a few times.  Pretty neat!!  :)

This was going to be motif #5, but....

I was working on this motif called Rose Medallion #39 from Tatting with Anne Orr. And it has turned out good, yet I didn't exactly joined the "rose" chains the way they were supposed to be, but my husband and daughter think it's awesome and so do I, so.... I am going to leave this one the way it is and try another true to the pattern for motif #5.
I think I need a better camera to make my tatting look better and not so fuzzy! :)
