As discussed, I added another row of chains around the Daisy Heart as I felt the flowers were quite bold and required a stronger outline, in my opinion. As Gina said, I would have made the first row of chains without picots but I didn't want to redo the whole thing so I just carried on adding the last row. I'm happy with that.
On another note, I love getting things in the post - don't you? So yesterday I had a nice envelope arrive from Canada and it was from Fox. In it there was a card and also this lovely bookmark:
Thank you Fox!
This bookmark will be going in my holiday book.
This is an interesting pattern which has pretty hearts in it. Because Fox used two colours in a particular way, you can't see them so well but I think it would look really nice with the colours used differently to highlight the hearts - can you see them? We had a thread about a similar pattern at In Tatters not too long ago. Fox often uses beads on joining picots and I particularly like the little silver ones in this.
Best wishes,
Ah yes! The daisy heart looks wonderful with the extra row around the border. You have a wonderful eye! I love it.
ReplyDeleteThe bookmark from Fox is great too - such fun snail mail :)
Good idea about the hearts - I see what you mean! I like this pattern a lot and will try it out next time I tat it! That will involve some directional drama... Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you have enclosed the pink heart - it works.
Fox : )
I LOVE the extra edge, it really finishes it beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I am wowed by that heart. The color choices are wonderful and the added row was perfect. It could not be prettier.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful heart and I love the colourway you have used,

The heart is absolutely gorgeous. Is there any chance I've seen that heart before, like in a tatting book or something? I would love to try and make it...!!! Thanks..
