25 motif challenge

here is another one of Kareys bag patter that I used beads on I like this one much better I think the beads fit the thread and pattern much better.

25 motif challenge

Here are two motifs of Karey Solomon it it from her Tatting Y2K calendar, It is a bag pattern but i have only done one side so far and then i started the other side and had the idea of doing it with beads instead of chains and i think it turned out OK. This is motif 3 and 4.

Big Doily

Here is a picture of the doily just before I took it to the State Fair today!
