I forgot to add this last week. I made it for mom and gave it to her Sunday. The hanky has a little butterfly over one of the flowers and a edging from the book "Every Woman's Complete Guide to Tatting", a reprint of Norma Benporath's book edited by Barbara Foster (Handy Hands). It's a great book!
The thread used in this hanky is Olympus (from Japan) #30. It ruffles a little so the scan didn't give justice to the beautiful undulation of the edging. Mom loved it and she'll happily carry it every where in her purse.  This is the 2nd hanky I do for her. I made one with a very ethereal edge in Mignonette Tatting. Mom save it somewhere. I'll ask her to to take it out and scan it. Hankies are so beautiful but I get pretty bore soon because you have to repeat over and over the same pattern. I'm making another hanky and will finish it soon if my hands are not sweaty. It's a finer thread and with the heat and sweat I can't close the tiny rings well so it's taking a long time to finish.
