25 Motif Challenge #3


Motif Challenge #3 has finally been done. I chose the recent Be-Stitched design by Nancy Tracy.
You can find the pattern here. I did make an adjustment to my medallion. I only put four rings in my chains around the outer edge. I used DMC thread #745 size 10. I like the yellow color also. It seems so bright and cheery. A nice gift for a spring day!

Tatted Creations

This tatted bookmark is my new favorite item to make for friends.
I found this pattern on some website which I cannot remember at this point, but the pattern is taken from page 23 in the Tatting Doilies & Edgings book published by Dover Press edited by Rita Weiss. It is an adaption from edging #1. Isn't it pretty?



Another one of the motifs I've made in the last year.
This design is taken from Tatting Patterns and Designs by
Blomqvist and Persson.

This is my favorite motif I have made lately.
It is from Festive Snowflakes & Ornaments by Barbara Foster.
I didn't think I would like this snowflake, but when finished,
I fell in love with it. So beautiful!!



Tatting Items

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure to look at lots of others tatting blogs. I had such a lovely time and am quite envious. I realized, that I did not have any of my tatting on my blog. So here are things I have made in the past. I do not have the time to find each book they came from at the moment. I will try to add who the designer was in the future. I did not design any of these motifs. They are all from others books I have bought over the years. I will try to load more pictures in the next few days of some other items.


This is a tatted name tag that I never made into an actual name tag.


These are some Christmas items I made in the last few years.


This is my first snowflake from a book I purchased last Christmas. I was going to make every snowflake in the book, but got side tracked onto a different project or child. Who knows???


This pretty pumpkin is from the Be-Stitched website. It was originally a Jack-O-Lantern Bookmark.
I just didn't want a bookmark and made one of the repeats.
