Spiritual Gifts

 My sister wanted a few  Irene Crosses to gift to teachers in Bible Study.  Here you go. 

Star 6 and 7

Star 6 from the book Tatting Christmas Decorations by Laura Bziukiewicz . 

This star was done using a vintage Coats size 30 thread and measures 3 inches or 7.5 cm across.  

Star 7 tatted using the same vintage Coats size 30 thread measures  3.25 inches or  8.5 cm across. 

 

More Ribbons

 Whoops,  I should have posted a few months ago. 

I made the flower headband which I first saw at Camp Wanna Tat and expanded on the original adding many more flowers and the pinecones at the ends. I used a ball cap for display but it currently adorns a sunhat.  The flowers leaves and pinecones were from a variety of patterns that I either purchased or was taught in a class.

The angel is made with one continuous Sanbest thread.  I took apart some earrings to use the bead for the head.  Lesson here is search your stash, you never know what you may find.  There are over 2500 double stitches used to make the angel.

I was awarded second for the flower headband and a third place ribbon for the angel.

Star 4 from the book Tatting Christmas Decorations by Laura Bziukiewicz . 

This star was done using a vintage Coats size 30 thread and measures 2.5 inches or 6.5 cm across.
