I had a thought while reading this thread that I could put my tatted snowflakes onto a quilt top. Then I see tildiemae's mom has done it with crocheted snowflakes. I've given away hundreds of these tatted snowflakes, from about 1 inch across to some that are almost 10 inches across. Most are white, but there are some red poinsettias and a few red hearts. That would make a beautiful quilt or wall hanging. Then I could look at it all year instead of just at Christmas on my tree. Several years I have left my tree up until April or June, and one year I left it up all year; just so I could look at my tattings. I hate having them in a box most of the time after all the work I put into them.
Something else just got put onto my to-do list.
