MOTIF # 20

From Be-Stitched.com: the 2009 Christmas tree, decorated.

Lisbeth Christmas Green with wooden (button) star and various ornaments. Some of the ornaments were from Wickedtats Halloween Give Away that I received from S'pore. Always fun to get a box from Aileen. A number of people tatted this tree, the base seemed the biggest challenge. :>)

MOTIF # 19

2009 Bell ~ Flora 20 This went kind of Wonky on me, it was supposed to be an easy pattern but I fought all the way through. I'm sorry, I really don't remember where I got the pattern and I didn't write the source down.

MOTIF # 18

RidgeRooster calls out from New Mexico

Jane Eborall's TIAS are always fun; but this one was also challenging. Size 20 threads.
The Blue is from RainbowBrite series by TatSkool, Peach is Lisbeth, and tail feathers is HDT
I don't know why RidgeRooster has a dip in his fore face; think it was mocking its creator's pug nose. LOL

Motif # 17

Designed by DanTatter (Suzanne) for Design-Tat Class 2009

This lovely motif came from Dantatter's creative mind and was 'test tatted' by Bev.
Size 20 Raspberry Ripple HDT by Tatskool (Ireland) I do love tatting with this thread in what ever color she dyes! It is so firm and smooth, a real joy to work with and it shows in the finished piece.

MOTIF # 16

Generic snowflake. Similar to one in the HandyHands, "Tatting ABC's & 123's"
Tatted in size 30 Anchor thread. It is about the size of an old silver dollar (remember those?)
It turned out very lacy looking.

Edging for my granddaughter's wedding headpiece being designed by Zena Herbert at SeaofDreams, UK. It's tatted in Anchor size 30 in cream. Zena needed a 6" piece of edging that would curve. This is Mary Konier's, "Beauty Spots"
