Exchange - Jun 2009 Butterflies

[Ridgewoman]

Bev, Which book of Inga Madsen's was the Butterfly pattern in? Was it 12 Tatted FAiry Tales or Tatted Animals, or from a different source? It is just too wonderful! Mary in NC

It is in "Tatted Animals" I was so tickled when I found a butterfly in there...even tho I did make two boo boos...
After doing the first side (after figuring out which direction the body was suppose to go), the second was easier....
It works up fairly fast, so I'll probably do another!

Pictures, finally! They are in Marty's exchanges album. But here are thumbnails (because I can't figure out how to put in anything larger).

A beautiful butterfly landed in my mailbox this afternoon - all the way from Australia! Thank you, Katie, for such an exquisite piece of tatting! Thank you, too for the beautiful card and ball of lavender thread! I'll have to find a special pattern to use it on. Thank you again! Your work is very, very pretty!

Doin' a happy dance!

reen,
Thanks so much for your absolutely fantastic butterflies!!!!
I am so glad you decided to do this exchange and feel very lucky to have been your partner.
The cushion is now sitting on my desk in my tatting "nook" and everyone who has seen it has commented on how lovely it is.
The fridge magnets are really cute too -love the one with the peg!!
Will post a pic as soon as I can.

:) I'm glad you liked it, BahmaTerri!

And... I got mine yesterday! It's lovely, thank you so much :) Yay for first tatting exchanges!

I'm running late at the moment (as usual), so I'll deal with pictures and such tomorrow.

I'll have butterflies on the brain all day, I'm sure. Not a bad thing!

My Butterfly was waiting for me when we arrived home from California. It is breathtaking and such beautiful work by Diane in Michigan. Thank you Diane...I LOVE it....I handed it wrapped to my DH and he said, "OH WOW this is beautiful"....
I must think of something really special to do with it so I can show it off....
hugs and blessings in Christ, Bev

Thank you Laura for my lovely butterflies. The large one is stunning and the paper clip one is darling. My apologies for this being several days after the fact. I could have sworn I had posted my thanks the day it arrived. Maybe it is floating in cyber space somewhere. Pictures to follow. Again, Many thanks. Mary in NC
