One of My Favourites

... is this heart design by Susan K. Fuller, called Heart's Desire.  A few years ago she kindly agreed for me to draw a diagram for her lovely pattern and post it on my blog.  You can find it under the patterns tab.

I think this heart design has a lovely shape and is really elegant.  I had not tatted it for some time so it was nice to make it again and it will be just the thing to decorate a card very soon.


Thank you for your contributions to the previous post.  Judith Connors wrote to give the history of the term "reverse stitch" which I will use from now on.  So when the stitches are flipped but done with the 2nd half first followed by the first half of the knot, they are "RODS" (reverse order double stitches) but when they are NOT flipped and the order is reversed (2nd half followed by 1st half), then they are "reverse stitches".

Anybody else tatting hearts at the moment?  Which is your favourite?

Best wishes,
Frivole

    Ah, thanks for clarity on the terminology. Yes, it's a lovely heart. I first tatted it by counting the stitches from a picture, before I knew that was bad form, so I'm glad you have permission to give the diagram and I can tat it in good conscience!

    This is also one of my favorite hearts and yes I am tatting one now. I used your pattern to needle tat this heart (one of my first projects). I still like to do it once a year.

    This design is one of my favourites too! This, and Mary Konior's "Queen of Hearts". I just love the color you have used for this one!

    I also love this heart pattern! I've only tatted one heart this year, the Tat Chat Heart by LaRae Mikulecky. I guess I just haven't been in the mood to tat hearts!

    Perfection, every which way !!! Heart's Desire & a freeform heart by Patty Dowden are my all-time top 2 favourites. I just tatted the first, but the latter is one of a kind.
