Tatting

3-D Shamrock Terry McGuffin star[offsite link]
Terry´s 3-D shamrock displays well inside a glass ornament. Run clear filament (4 lb. fishing line works well) up thru base of shamrock. Whip stitch, then continue up thru center. Hang in center of tear drop shaped ornament or use epoxy type adhesive to suspend in split ornament.

Anna Spina´s bracelet pattern has only photos and the diagram. Here is a suggestion on how to tat it: R = ring CH = chain, + = join, - = picot clr = close ring rw = reverse work You need 4 diamonds, the center of the bracelet stacks up two of them. The diamond pattern is a classic cloverleaf separated by chains. Here is the basic pattern. Using one shuttle and ball thead or two shuttles, begin with the cloverlea

Bloomin´ Shamrocks Gina Brummet star[offsite link]
I got my inspiration for this one from a heart necklace by Terry McGuffin. The printout had a date from years ago and I think the site no longer exists but there was a shape inside the main piece that got me thinking - if I turned it this way and added a dip in the pointy part so it´s now rounded and then put more than one together....and it just panned out. Photo only no pattern.
