Motif number 36 from Tatting by Myra Piper is a star instead of a snowflake. Stars just cry out for gold metallic thread, don't they? It would be nice if gold metallic thread scanned as pretty as it looks -- instead of scanning as a weird mustard yellow. Still, the pattern is a pretty one and very simple.I'm posting this because I've reached dither-point. There are too many things I want to do! I was having such a difficult time deciding that what I actually did was another "Cornelia" by Iris Niebach in KingTut quilting thread. I left out two repeats so that it curves around a satin-covered styrofoam ornament. Now, I'm trying to make something for the bottom that will match.
Once that's done, I've got an idea for Sharon Briggs' latest challenge...

From my computer screen I can tell that it is gold metallic thread.
That star pattern is very pretty. :)
Very pretty! I think I have that pattern. Oh, dear! Another choice for when I finish my doily...
Lovely piece of tatting. I've not used King Tut quilting thread, maybe I'll give it a try as I like your results.
