Appreciating Jon's Gems

I said it was the end of Almas.  It still is!  THAT one I will not do again!  But I did not want Jon to think I have not enjoyed all the others I have tatted so far from her wonderful book of snowflakes:


And, I have already begun tatting a new one from the book,
but I will save that for another day.

Lastly,
WHERE IS ANGELINE?

  2. Love your jacket, the lace is the perfect embellishment and adds a beautiful finishing detail to the jacket!

    Your snowflakes are also incredibly lovel! You have tempted me with so many of them, all beautifully done, that I am simply going to have to get Jon's book...have been trying to be good since I think I spent my limit on tatting books this year procuring Mary Konior's books, but Jon's snowflakes are so so very nice :-)

  4. The jacket is a real stunner! Have you worn it yet?

  5. Thanks, Michelle. No, it is really a light weight jacket and very short, so the weather is wrong for its wear. Springtime... I am so pleased, as the sleeves are not only comfortable for the first time ever, but really look good. New life for the old overcoat!

  9. What a wonderful jacket! You'll enjoy wearing this one.
    I, too, have been checking Angeline's page quite regularly. It's surfaced before and should again. Karen in OR

  11. The jacket looks amazing (and expensive!). Definitely the right decision to sew the trim in that direction - hanging down it would've driven you mad... Looks really nice like that though.

    And i love Jon's snowflakes too... I'm just about to start making some for mini xmas gifts.

    And the coat looks spectacular, like couture wear.
