©Roger aka Freedman © 2002 http://groups.msn.com/NeedleTattingTwo  Medallion Cross, yes it's made from that famous little Medallion we all used to learn how to Needle Tat. With this the sides, top and bottom are worked off it to shape a nice little cross. Approx. 4x5½" made with #5 needle & #10 Thread. I also made one using #20 that measures approx. 3x4½"

R=Ring Ch=Chain P or - = Picot +=Join CL=Close RW=Reverse Work DNT=Do Not Turn(or do not reverse)
