Motif #15

 Bow

I think now I should have tatted this one first and then built on after that. To late now, but this will be the base of my project and if anyone has Rosemarie Peels book, they will know what it is I am trying to do!

Motif #14

LEAF

All of these are of coarse using the same thread. After looking at this, I think I should have put a stem on it, later!

Motif #13

SHAMROCK

Here is yet another piece of my project.

Motif #12

IVY

These are again part of the picture that I will be making still using Rosemarie Peel's book. Same thread as Motif #11.

Motif #11

 
Fern

I am now working from Rosemarie Peel's book, 20 Tatted Motifs. There will be sections to this in order to complete the picture that I will be making in the end. I am using Olympus thread size 40, which is equivalent to size 30, is what I was told. As far as the color, I took the label off and now I'm not sure of the exact # of this color. I will be needing more of these, but two is enough for display.

Motif #10

 
Maple Leaf

I used the same pattern as I did for Motif #9, but am now doing it with HDT size 20 and the Green one is called Forest that I purchased from Yarnplayer.com. On these two I did the stem different. On the green one I did the stem using the second half of the DS, but on the Sugar Plum one I did the first half. It seem to lay better using the first half and I don't know why it should actually make any difference. I am now trying to finish another piece that I started earlier, but never finished and it's not a leaf!

Motif #9

Maple Leaf

I have finally used one of my HDT's! It is the Maple Leaf Motif by Tammy Rodgers. I used size 40 HDT thread that I purchased from Marilee, at Yarnplayer and it's called Sugar Maple. I have to say that I really like using this thread because I feel like I am more in control with it. I am looking for more leaf patterns so they aren't all the same. I love to hang things in my window during the different seasons. I started off noticing that I made a mistake in the beginning, so I ended compensating for it by increasing the number in the chain. I have my shuttle already wound to make it correct this time.
