Tat It and SEE 2015

 Here is Part 1 and 2 of Jane Eborall's TIAS 2015. The thread is size 20 and the color is Blue Ice #163. The tatting bag is one of many gifts from my dear friend in Portugal, Maria. I love these shuttle and tatting bags.

Rectangle Tatted Doily

 This is the first and second round of Bruce's Tatted Doily by Nancy Tracy.  www.be-stitched.com  If you are new to tatting I highly recommend Nancy's website and sign up for her free pattern of the month.   I purchased some new threads from Handy Hands, This one is  Purple Berry Twist in size 10. No problems tatting with the thread but a knot appeared just before I completed the round...UGH

 

 Butterfly landing on a Cosmos.  An Applique BOM by Apple Blossom Quilts, Connie Sue Haidle.  http://www.appleblossomquilts.com     
It is a bright and cherry flower to work on during the cold, wintery snow we are having in Eastern New Mexico. Saturday we received 8 inches of snow and only 1 degree for a low and all the way up to 30 for a high. Have not seen 40 degrees in over 2 weeks. Sure hope that "Polar Express" goes somewhere else!!!!(:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.   May 2015 be happy, healthy & prosperous for all.
