Doilies, Edging, Earrings, Necklaces, Butterflies, Collar, Flowers, Motifs, Lady and Bookmark

mb duke just  finished round 2 of Doily XII from Jan Stawasz's Tatted Treasures, which took her about 2 weeks to tat.

Carrie started Janette Baker's Star of David runner from Learn To Tat in the wrong size thread, which meant running out for more supplies, so this was as far as she got. She switched to something she can accomplish with the thread she has on hand, Janette Baker's Josephine Ring Edge.

Jane made earrings to go with the Diana necklace and managed to get the colour variations mostly in the same places. She  made a little muslin bag for each necklace and earring set yesterday so they are ready to be posted.

Wooroosa has used spectacular colour combinations to make this Jan Stawasz doily from his Theory and Patterns.

Julie was sifting through a box of treasures and came across a card which contained some lovely flutters made by her grandmother. She'd like to tat them from the pattern, but doesn't know the source.

SunshineCraft tatted this vintage pattern from an Anne Orr book, but she's not sure she'll ever feel girlish enough to wear it.

Ancolie tatted two small flowers suitable for a "moo" (mini) card.

Cindy was glad the Round 4 of Jan Stawasz Doily XI was simple rings and chains which made it easy to tat sitting outside in beautiful, sunny weather. Even unblocked, it looks beautiful so far.

Fox tatted this motif from Aunt Ellen’e Treasury of Tatting using Olympus leftovers in size #40. The next one is the beginnings of an oval vintage pattern that done using ”Knitty Gritty", #40, from Yarnplayer. She is sending some motifs and shuttles to her son, who is about to leave for his trip to Peru, so that he can take pictures of them there.

Marie received these goodies from a tatting exchange with Maria, in Portugal. This little "Sunbonnet Sue" from the Big Book of Tatting was done in Lizbeth, size 20, Blue River Glades and Green Orchid Med.

Michelle made this motif from a pattern in Angelina Crichlow's book.

Sue tatted this motif when she first started tatting 4 years ago in size 10 cotton crochet and her daughter wanted it added to a pair of pants. It's a great way to add a splash of colour and style.

Wanda taught a tatting class at Odd Balls Yarn Shop and you can tell from the concentration of her students that they were determined to persevere. Large thread really helps to see individual stitches.

Necklace, Pendant, Snowflakes, Crosses, Doilies and Motifs

Jane finished the Diana necklace pattern by Gunhild Fette which adds beads to a single shuttle split ring and gives her one more technique mastered.

Ginny loves Marilee Rockley's Rotation pattern which she purchased on Etsy.

Julie has tatted 4 of Diane's snowflakes that use a centre finding and sent them home with her sister as a belated Christmas gift.

Diane is making slow progress on her latest cross, being careful to follow the pattern line by line. Starting with a partially filled shuttle meant having to stop and add thread.

Fox was ready to throw in the towel, but with a little encouragement she was persuaded to persist and the results were certainly worth it.

Michelle has tatted several of Lene Bjorn's Camilla bookmark as gifts for graduating students. A lovely surprise package from Fox included some of her delightful tatting.

mb duke joins the challenge with Jane's Bookmark Cross adapted by Grace Tan.

Carrie finished Marilee Rockley's Remembrance ring which  will go to a friend in Indianapolis.

Laurie has learned to tat cluny leaves and proudly shows us her two first clunies.

Jane finished the choker and made a pair of twirly earrings to go with it. Jon's Daisy Pin is the flower that Jane used to make this bib necklace. She dyed some thread in preparation for tatting Gunhild's pattern Diana, then found the winding and unwinding to get the beads in the right place was a bit of a challenge.

Wooroosa is back to tatting after a long hiatus, with this lovely pastel doily.

Kristen started on a flowery decoration from Projects in Tatting to be used on a pillowcase. It didn't go well. So of course she tried again, and again and the chains just won't lay right.So she set it aside for now and picked up another design that she can use in a row.

Cindy finished round 3 of the Jan Stawasz doily without any trouble and went on to round 4. Here's round 4 in Lizbeth Latte Foam, Size 20 completed.

Diane's latest Spinning Wheel Glass Mat by Mary Konior is done in Gold Dust HDT by Marilee Rockley. She had enough of the thread left over to make a cross bookmark but she isn't crazy about how the tassel looks. All of these lovelies were tatting in one skein of the Gold Dust thread. She has another Workbasket cross started.

Fox's favourite feline is surrounded in tatting. The Suzanne Schwencke’s patterns and is a really interesting tat done in Karey Solomon's HDT. A coin saved from Queen Elizabeth's coronation has a new home in a tiny felt pocket decorated with tatting. This little one inch pattern is by Jennifer WIlliams. Using her arsenal of pencils, markers and scissors, she has called upon all of her pattern aids to master this design.

Marie tatted Camilla, another cross form Tatted Bookmarks, by Lene Bjorn. This is one of the Christmas balls she made for an aunt and forgot to take a picture of it at the time.

Martha's strange looking tatted bit was a trial run for a spectacular dragon. Then there's the baby dragon.

Michelle wanted to makes something special for her daughter for her prom. Frivole generously shared the pattern for the bracelet base. Add a couple of flowers and some leaves and the result if a keepsake wrist corsage the perfectly matches her daughter's dress.  Anika's HDT, both colors were used for this Rita Weiss' design bookmark. The little cross was a present for a colleague. Jane's bookmark that Grace Tan converted into this lovely cross, would have looked even better in 2 colours.

Sue tatted more suncatchers, one in size 40 Lizbeth Island Breeze with blue beads and one in size 40 Lizbeth Scottish Thistle and purple and green beads. The Hearts bookmarks by Dee Powell from the book Tatted Bookmarks Needle & Shuttle.  is tatted in size 40 Tat-ilicious HDT from Jess called Queen Anthias but when it was dampened for blocking the colour ran a little, so this is one she'll keep. She used size 40 Lizbeth paired with quilting thread for the chains and doubled that stitch count on the chains to tat the Blue Coaster from the Big Book of Tatting designs by Darlene Polachic, which obviously isn't blue.
