Laurette tatted the Bookmark with Overlapping Chains by Jon in size 20 Lizbeth Red Burst and White.It was a bit of a challenge to keep it overlapped on the second round. Chiara tatted 3 Praying Angels using a Teri Dusenbury pattern to give as a little present to her friends. They were made using DMC perle cotton n.8 in variegated light blue, variegated orange and solid yellow. The skirt was tatted a little longer than in the pattern.

Heather has been tatting LOTS. She has several celtic style necklaces created, a tutu for a ballerina doll, Jon's tutorial for tatting with a ring was easy and fun to follow and grew from one into 6 joined rings. Then there was some free form tatting and some on the go projects. Jeff has some new tatting books including Jon's Tatted Snowflake Collection and he has plans for tatting lots of snowflakes like the one Jon sent him.
