New Shuttles

Sue Anna mailed to me 2 beautiful pop-a-bobbin shuttles filled with Wildflower and lime green, Lizbeth #20 Threads. The first shuttle is Cocobolo Rosewood with the lime green thread. The pattern can be found in the Antique Pattern Library and Gina from Threads of a Tatting Goddess, is using the pattern for a challenge in vintage motifs. I decided to play around with it and using split rings one can tat till the thread runs out. How does one become a pro with split rings?? By reading and tatting patterns from the Queen of Split Rings...Jane Eborall!!!! Thank you Gina for sharing this on your blog. http://threadsofatattinggoddess.blogspot.com/
The second shuttle Cedar with Wildflower. The butterfly shows the thread off and pattern can be found in the Handy Hands Cat. The pattern for the bookmark/edging is Spring Flowers by Julie Patterson.
The purple "What is it" is my Day 2 with Jane Eborall's, TIAS.. More on this latter.

Beautiful colors! It's great to see them while my days here are filled with a lot of white and gray(it's winter in Michigan). :)
