Square Motif

I wanted to tat two square doilies for my bedside cabinets and so, instead of trawling through my pattern books, I thought I would design one.

This is what I have come up with, but knowing tatting, there is probably something out in tatland that is almost, if not exactly, the same.

I have used a split ring to climb out of the centre ring and also self closing mock rings as part of the design.

I would be greatful if any of my followers could tell me if they recognise this pattern as another designer's. If it isn't the same as anyone elses then I will write the pattern out for it and publish it as a freebie.

Thank you, in advance, for your help with my quest!

30th Birthday Card

My future daughter-in-law is 30th tomorrow (Sept 7th) and this is the card that I have done for her. She is very special to us and is going through a trying time at the moment. 3 days after her birthday she will be having surgery for breast cancer! We are very hopeful for a full recovery as there does not appear to be any lymph involvement, which was very encouraging news!
