      I had this Ming tree kit in one of my totes.  Been itching to put it together.

Bell

    This bell looks more like a tree, with this thread.  It looked better with the silver thread.

    Here is another flower, starting to poke through.

     Winter is starting to go away and spring is coming.  I saw this flower, pushing above the snow.

Italian

     I'm very impressed with this Italian magazine.  The magazine is "Il Mio Chiacchierino, #6".  There are tons of wonderful patterns.  Here is one of them.  I made the with three strands of sewing thread...2 rayon and one metallic.

     Still tatting in the evenings and during trips to town.  Something, different, to break up the afternoons.  

 

Color

Color

     No one said snowflakes had to be white.   This one needed a little color.

 

Doily

Doily

   A little doily, called "Bruce's Doily," by Be-Stitched.  This doily, demanded attention.  Good challenge.

 

Heart

Heart

    Found a quilled heart pattern, using metallic papers.  I used plain paper and didn't get that "WOW" effect.

 

Still

  Still snowing around here.  Love making these quilled snowflakes.
 

Pop

     I wanted something more, with a little more POP.

 

Empty

Empty

     I needed to empty a large shuttle for a doily I want to start soon.  Made a simple little wreath.

Mousey

Mousey

    I tried this, simple quilled mouse pattern,  wasn't thrilled with the plain mouse, so I added a boarder around it...still not thrilled with it.

 

Kevin

Kevin

    My husband likes the Minions, especial Kevin (the "Brains" of the operation).  The pattern is by Sarah Wood.  I didn't have the materials to make the eyes/goggles, so I tatted them.  

 

Trees

Trees

    My mom decorated this towel and gave it to me.  It needed a little edging to give it life.  I don't remember were I found the pattern, sorry.  I take that back, I do remember,  it is Lady Shuttlemaker's, Chataline.

 

Shuttles

Shuttles

      Here are the shuttles my Mom gave me for Christmas.  I had to decorate them a little.

      This was the other cross design...

     Wanted to do a cross, so I designed this.  Quilling, reminds me of tatting.
