Hi,
This is February Pinterest challenge that Suzanne and I are doing, hopefully we will complete 12 one for every month of the year. This is my February's piece, its a tatted cross using a button in the middle, the pattern is called Encapsulated Button Sunburst Motif of which this cross is a variation. The pattern was originally published in November 2002 issue of the Tatting Times published by Karey Solomon and was a free pattern by Lily Morales who uses variations of advanced techniques adapted from the "3-5-7-9 Button Motif" from a Labour of Love by Lily Morales 2002
link to patten I was not as happy with this cross and may do it again,
Here is an update on the Renuleks mat I have finished round three it was too dark yesterday to sew in the ends. I am using Lizbeth thread White and Countryside no 20. I have not blocked it yet so it looks a little creased perhaps after the forth round I will give it a quick press. This pattern is being done by a lot of tatters around the world, each with there own colours its proving to be a popular pattern which Renuelks has designed.
Hope you are having a nice day, take care
Hugs
Margaret
