I had big plans to make four of these motifs and join them together as a small mat - but I knew I wouldn't have enough thread before I even finished the second one. I think that's the only time that has ever happened - and no way to readily get more. So they became coasters! I wanted to put them in an acrylic base but the ones I had (bought at a tat day somewhere once) were octagonal and the squares were too big to fit in.
Remember edging #2 in the last post? Well, it became a bookmark. I had some rickrack that matched beautifully and I couldn't resist threading it through the chains.
I decided to make a triangular goodie bag and decorate it with angels, since Tami's business is called Angelic Creations. One of the angels remains here, lopsided at the skirt because I missed making an extra ring. LOL! I really had too many distractions going on. There is chocolate and beads inside and oh pooh...I just remembered I meant to put in a "big eye" beading needle. Sorry Tami!
I also realized I forgot to scan the shuttle but that's okay. I did have fun making everything but started feeling guilty that it was taking me so long so I kind of rushed to get it all sent off.

Oh, I love that bag it is so cool with it's triangular shape and the lovely tatted angel motifs on the three "leaves" of it. Lucky Tammy!
