And the winner is................................

There were 80 people who added their comments,with awesome ideas of what to do with snowflake patterns whether they are done in white or in colours. Several people reported problems with commenting, but I included them too. Since I thought everyone might like to see the ideas I put them in a list.

in live or artificial plants
Arrange them in the shape of a tree on a wall above a table so that it looks like it is sitting on the table
frame
clock face in place of the numbers
decoupage them on plates or tins and fill with cookies to use and give as gifts

There were so many great ideas, I think I may have to tat all of the designs over again in colour just to try out some of them. If I'm going to do a blitz of snowflakes, I think I may as well join the 25 Motif Challenge again just to keep track.

Add of course, the thing you are all waiting for..........the winner of today's draw. The names were all printed and put in a hat and hubby pulled out a name. The winner is:


Rose Anne B

First off I apologize Sharon for not coming back and checking who the winner was! LOL! I was away all weekend visiting my 97 years young Dad - cooking n cleaning for him!

Thank you very much "DH" for drawing my name. And yes once I get around to trying some of these patterns I definitely will let you know Sharon and not sure how others will know - unless they check my blog for "tatting".

Well my book arrived today safe and sound and "autographed" too - WOW!!! Thank you Sharon.
