Ribbon Bookmark

This is the Ribbon Bookmark from Lindsay Rogers Mastering Tatting.    My version is on the Left and the picture from the book on the Right.  It is almost the same size.

I acquired this vintage thread, Coats, size 20, ecru. A nice thread but only a partial ball.

I haven't been tatting much lately and I was not happy with the result of the chains.  The thread did not slide as smoothly as I like and uneven stitches resulted. 

I made this up in one afternoon, it measures 6 inches or 15 cm long.  This bookmark has already been gifted.
