Motif #25....!
This bookmark was designed by, grrlshapedthing and she is from New Zealand and a member of InTatters. She named it 'Supermodel Bookmark'. I used Lizbeth thread size 20 #131 called Vineyard Harvest. By the time I finished it my eyes were blurry, but I wanted it up today so I could finish this challenge which took me way to long. I will be doing another one, but I want to get a good start with it first and start doing things from some of my many purchased books.

Motif #24....!
Finally! I saw this heart on Trina Halls page and it was a free pattern designed by Susan Fuller. The thread I used was size 20 Elizabeth #117 called Country Side. I will select another pattern later today to finish this challenge. Things are looking up and I'm back in the spirit of things again. Please forgive my long delay.

Motif #23
This is the Canadian Sugar Maple Leaf Deisned by Gale Marshall in 2002. I used HDT from Yarnplayer in size 20 called Knitty Gritty. (love the thread) The only problem I had was the pattern only had directions for the first 'Trefoils' as there called, but there are five, so I had to go back and repeat number one. This is a good size piece finished so I'm hoping it will show up a little better in my window. I was told that white would actually show up better. I'm going to make one in white just to see, but later. (Only two more to go!!!)

This pattern came from a Anna magazine, September 2009. I made this to set under neath a tea pot, but the pot is to big, so under the cup it will go instead, maybe...
Again I used Lizbeth thread size 20 #632.

Motif #19
I have finally finished my Celtic doily. The name on this pattern is Lenore English 09/05. The thread I used was Omega size 30, color 1336/Natural along with HDT from Marilee at Yarnplayer. I had purchased Spring Grass which is a variegated thread in size 30 and then asked Marilee if she could please dye for me one of the solid colors from the variegated thread. Together we picked the Pistachio color. I was so happy when it came and now that I have it done, I am very pleased with it. It did turn out smaller than I thought it would, but that's OK to. I took a picture of both sides of it because it looks so different being a Celtic design. I'm still wondering which side is the right side. I have my eye on a couple more Celtic designs, but now....which one! (I was in such a hurry to post this, that I have not even cleaned or pressed this yet, so forgive me for that!)
