Motif 23 & 24 - 25 Motif Challenge

Wow!  Where has the time gone!  I had hoped to finish my 25 Motif Challenge in January so I could start another one.  Now I need to make sure I finish it before 12th April.  Because of the limited time, I have opted to tat some small motifs.

First motif is Jon Yusoff's dragonfly motif which can be found on her Tat-a-Renda blog.  This dragonfly was so easy and quick to tat up.  Perfect pattern to use up the leftover thread on your shuttle.  I really like how the bigger wings sat on top of the smaller ones.

The second motif is a simple downward picot flower which can be found on Ring of Tatters website here.  You will need to scroll down to "Downward Picots" for the simple pattern.  This was a fun and quick motif to tat up.  It also allowed me to use up the leftover thread from another shuttle.  I now have two free shuttles!

Of course I had to take a pic of both motifs and try to create a picture out of it :).

One more motif to go then I better get back to Robin Perfetti's Frauberger Doily pattern.  I am nearly finished with the doily :).

That's it for now.  Thanks for visiting my blog :).

Cheers,

Jenn :).

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone!  May all your wishes and dreams come true in 2016 :).

To start 2016 off, I decided to tat Robin Perfetti's Frauberger Doily pattern.  You can find more information about the doily on Robin's Tatting by The Bay blog here and the computerise diagram here.

Round 1 of Robin Perfetti's Frauberger Doily

I really like Robin's colour scheme of white with variegated thread and how she does each round of this doily.  Hopefully she doesn't mind that I copied both :).  For mine, I am using Lizbeth #20 white thread and #115 Springtime.  I'm really enjoying tatting this pattern.  Quick and easy :).  Currently up to last round (round 3).

That's it for now.  Thanks for visiting my blog :).

Cheers,
