tatting from last spring

These are 2 pieces that I had finished last spring.


The floral bookmark is from the book Tatted Bookmarks Needle & Shuttle Edited by Barbara Foster


The snowflake pattern is Flutterflake by © Emma Crew, 2001

I need to trim the ends of the butterflys and block them to lay flat. I also need to learn how to do the joins of the center rosette better.

I have joined a bunch of tatting groups. Everyone has been very nice and helpful. I notice that tatters are more than willing to help other tatters.
