Hi,
I saw this on Carollyn's Blog back in October link to her blog, I was really taken with this snowflake, its called Flutterflake designed by Emma Crew. Its tatted in two different size threads which caused a major problems for me, one I don't use the very thin thread plus I don't have much in the stash, and two my eyes really cant see to tat with it. So on several bright days and I mean the days when the sun did shine I made the butterflies, it took three days to tat six butterflies with thin thread, I used some thread that Fox had sent me, quilting thread I think on the card the number is PQ #063, there's no name just a number, actually the thread is really pretty and made some beautiful butterflies for the snowflake. The white part of the snowflake is Lizbeth thread no 20 in white, I still have to sew in the ends at least with the butterflies there was no ends to sew in.
I would love to tat this pattern again but its going to have be a summers day for the butterflies.
Hope you are having a lovely weekend
Hugs
Margaret
