Angel from Dyan



This is the angel that I received this week, tatted by Dyan. Aren't the colors in the thread lovely? This is my 3rd angel, received from the 2009 angel roundrobin.

birthday bookmark


I just completed this bookmark for a friend's birthday. It is tatted from size 70 tatting cotton. The pattern is in Simple Angel Lesson Series by Sabina Carden-Madden. I've made this bookmark a couple times before but in a larger thread. Using the size 70 was a bit more challenging. This measured appoximately 1" x 6". Clicking on the photo will produce a larger image and allow you to get a closer more detailed view.

Another angel



You're viewing a photo of the angel I made for Eva in the angel roundrobin I'm in. The pattern is: Christina's Angel, designed by Mark Meyers. It is tatted with DMC #70 thread, colors #48 and #818, white and also a metallic looking silk thread I had. This lovely little angel is approximately 3" high. I'll be mailing it to Eva sometime this week.

Bedazzled 5

Guess I'm catching up on some posting today. The angels posted today are items I've had for a couple weeks but hadn't taken time to photograph them. Today I completed border 5 on the Bedazzled Quilt I'm doing. At this point the quilt is 48" square. The next border will be published on Claudia's Quilt Shoppe website in May.

I don't think I want a square guilt any bigger than this so will think about adding to 2 sides only for a retangular quilt. We'll see. It will depend on what the next border is.

Angel from Eva

I recently received this angel from Eva. It is the Dimpled Ring Angel written by Lenora English. This is a lovely little angel.

Dyan's angel


Dyan's angel is on its way to her. I tatted this using thread called Wildflowers by Caron. The pattern is one written by Becky Dempsey and is called Spring Angel. This is a tatted angel pattern that shows an angel who appears to be flying or hovering.

Sunshine Sampler Block 3

This is block 3 of the sunshine sampler (ugly fabric) challenge. The block is called Baby FourPatch.

1st angel received

Here is the lovely angel that I received from Meme in the angel roundrobin. This angel has both tatting and hairpin lace. The hairpin lace skirt is done with thread but the tatting is done with narrow ribbon. How unique!
