Tatting Projects completed on Sunday

I went to tat some of the projects in Martha Ess' new book "Playing with Picots" and I realized I did not have one empty shuttle, so I decided to use what was on my shuttles to tat up some of Martha's designs.

The first was Little Sister Angel  tatted in size 40 Lizbeth thread. It measures 1 5/8" long x
1 1/8" wide.










Then I figured a good pattern to empty my shuttle of  Falling Leaves and yellow Lizbeth thread was Sunrise, Sunset Bookmark  I only had enough thread on the shuttle to make the bookmark 3"s long instead of 5 1/2"s long, this did not include the tassel.  this length worked out quite well for a prayer book size.


Well I have to go pack my bags, I am off to Birmingham, AL for 3 days with my church group 1st thing tomorrow morning.  I am looking forward to getting away for 3 days and making new friends on the trip.  There will be 25 of us going.  I will be taking my tatting, knitting and crocheting along since it is a 6 hr. ride each way.  I know I will get a lot done if I don't fall asleep on the way....LOL
