Morning Sunflower

I have been working on a sunflower design this past week. It's my first major project since getting back into tatting. (Still trying to figure out why I ever stopped.)

I found the pattern online at the Needle Tatting Board. It is called "Dresden", by Roger aka Freedman.

I was looking for a sunflower pattern as this will be a gift for my sister in law who loves sunflowers.

The materials I'm using are Aunt Lydia's size 10 cotton crochet thread and a size 5 tatting needle.
