The Utahraptor and Fantasy Tree are those I made for the Shuttlebirds convention. Both got first place blue ribbons, but the Utahraptor also got a "high blue" (considered for sweepstakes) ribbon and a Judge's Choice ribbon. I'm so vain -- I love getting the big ribbons!
The butterfly I made from Anne Bruvold's Christmas hearts got a blue ribbon, too. These are such perfect little hearts (not bragging on my tatting -- bragging on Anne's pattern!) . Depending on the categories at the State Fair (have to remember to look!), I might have to put a tail on it and call it a bookmark. Since I can only enter one thing in each category in the State Fair, I can't put the dinosaur and the butterfly in unless one of them fits somewhere besides "other".
These are seven of the Christmas ornaments I made using Jon Yusoff's snowflake patterns, and some little bits of fillers of one kind or another (one went to the marvelous Jeff). I entered them as a set and ended up with a sweepstakes ribbon! It made me laugh, though: the comment card said "Nice even loops, nice way to display" -- so I got a ribbon for display, or for tatting? Which ever, I have to thank Jon for such lovely patterns.

Is there a pattern for the Utaraptor?
Congratulations! As always, your ribbons are very well-deserved. Your work is beautiful and unique. Good luck at the State Fair!
Exquisite pieces, Marty!! I love the Utaraptor and especially the Fantasy Tree--that's a work of art. Wow. Would love to see it in person.

I got a great deal of satisfaction seeing the big ribbon on the Utahraptor! I remember seeing it for the first time and being stunned! I knew you would be entering it! Surely it was noticed by all the fairgoers! Congrats again for all your efforts in showing the versatility of tatting!
The Utahraptor MUST go to the State Fair!
