Baiduri



I bought Jon Yusoff's  book 'Elegant Tatting Gems'.  It has 18 snowflake designs, with charts and written instructions, which are very easy to follow.  This is number 4 and is called Baiduri.  I tatted it, using Flora 20 in two colours. 



 I made a mistake at the start and had to cut a picot and stitch in another one.  There is a fluffy stump that I will have to cut away but it might unravel, so this one is for me.  It was so nice to tat, though, I will happily tat another.

TIAS 2011





A bit late, but here is my tatted aeroplane.  Jane Eborall organised a TIAS and this is what it turned out to be.  I think it is quite cute.    Here is the pattern

Star in Clover





This Star was designed by  Jon Yussoff  and I tatted it using Lizbeth no 20 in this pretty blue.  Stars sometimes twinkle blue don't they ?  I like the little star in the middle with the clean lines as well as the elaborate outside one.  

Editha





This  lovely snowflake was designed by Christiane Eichler.   She named it Editha.   I tatted it in no 20 Lizbeth .  The colour is blue but it hasn't come out very well in the photo.

Merryment Doily




Another version of Merryment doily designed by Jon Yussoff.  This time tatted in Lizbeth no. 20  in a variegated yellow.  Looks entirely different from the Christmas decoration.

Christmas Decoration



I tatted this as a Christmas Tree Decoration in an HDT called Rainbow Bright by Tatskool.  She used Coats 60.  In these colours it makes a lovely Tree decoration.  
The pattern is called Merryment doily and designed by Jon Yussoff

Another Christina's Angel





Another Christina's Angel from Mark Myers' book Tatted Gathering of Angels.
I decided to tat this one in brighter colours.  Still Lizbeth no 20, but in a pretty blue for her dress.

Christina's Angel




I tatted Christina's Angel for a Christmas Swap on forums America.  The pattern is in Mark Myers' book,  Tatted Gathering of Angels.  I have used Lizbeth threads in  no 20.  A variegated green for her dress.  She looks quite delicate, I think.

Seahorse Dragon





This Seahorse Dragon is designed by Anne Bruvold, adapted from a  Seahorse pattern by Debbie Arnold.  If you just want the seahorse, then leave off the wings. I really like the wings though.


I tatted it using a variegated thread by Lizbeth  in no. 20.    I love seahorses and it seemed to need those greeny blue sea type colours.  Aren't they gorgeous.
