We were recently invited to a milestone birthday party for a teammate of my husbands. The invitation said that no gifts were required but cards would be OK.
I slipped these two bookmarks into a card.
I did manage to add another green crystal to the Flowering Quatrain and a green satin ribbon to the cross bottom before I sealed the envelope but was not able to get a picture of that.
I've done the Flowering Quatrain before
here , this one was done in a Lizbeth 20 Sea Green Lt. No 686 and the cross in some Omega threads.
The cross is from Jan Stawasz Tatted Treasures. I should have taken more care on the graduated picots.
I had heard that this round caused some issues with the doily not lying flat. I adjusted the stitch count and so far it sits quite nicely. I am still climbing to the next round, in this case using a split chain. 
First of all I did not make this quilt. I don't even own a sewing machine but this lovely quilt belongs to me. I have a very talented sister who asked me if I wanted a Sisters Choice Quilt. I gave her input to style and colors I wanted in the quilt and let her choose the rest. I only wanted a lap quilt but this one covers the top of my queen size bed. 
The back of the quilt is a tatted print, yes that is tatting with a light tan almost wood like background. I have no idea where she found the material but I have seen a few tatted printed fabric. 
The label is a block surrounded by a tatted print and she has written our names with the date.
When I travel to the US I will tell the border security personnel that I am off to a tatting conference. I always need to explain that tatting is type of fibre art and then they get a sample piece of tatting to assist in the explanation.
