Eva received an angel from Dyan.The pattern is "Leens Tatted Angel" by Eileen Stafford.

Wally has had such a busy and exciting past week. She made a special scarf for her wedding and got married. She has posted homework from the design-tat group. There is a cute bunny to make us think of spring.Wally timed herself tatting a motif to see if it was faster to use a shuttle or a needle and as another reminder of spring she tatted a cute lamb. WOW.

Homework Time

Patricia has been very busy and has completed 6 more motifs for her 25 motif challenge. #8 She was playing around with creating different rounds. #9 is the “eight inch doily” from Easy Tatting by Rozella Linden. #10 is a variation of the Lacy Square and #11 is the Lacy Square also from Easy Tatting. #12 is the Oval Doily from Tatting Collage by Lindsay Rogers. #13 Was supposed to be a circle but didn’t work out mathematically, so it became a fan.





Steph is welcoming spring with some tatting. She has tatted her 19th Easter Egg from the book Tatted Easter Eggs in Altin Basik thread and has tatted a butterfly from the pattern by Edda Guastalla and can be found on Georgia Seitz's awesome website.



Vinnie is using a motif of her own design that was the homework for the Design-Tat group as motif #21 for the challenge. She has also fallen in love with a simple swan pattern.
