pickme roundup1

Our game of the month for February was to pick and tat motifs from a collected assortment commemorating spring. These included hearts (it was Feb after all), flowers, butterflies, and foliage, all derived from Endrucks' patterns. We created categorised Directories for each to make patterns and ideas easy to access (more about the Directories and links after I finish the roundup). I have been posting my own choices with some background.  

Actually the motifs could be used as standalone, or could be gathered together for the March game of the month .... more about that later. Since links to the directories will be shared eventually, I am not sharing any direct pdf links, only the models tatted by our lovely members. Let the suspense build up a bit before I lead you to the respective patterns.
