Niebach Elegance

Yesterday I was having a look at some of the pictures in the albums at In Tatters (always inspiring) and came upon this design very nicely tatted by Telefonky.

It's an Iris Niebach design which is available free here.

I have to say that I have a book of Iris Niebach's doilies but personally find her diagrams hard to follow.  I tried a couple of times with the doilies, got lost and gave up (Oh no!!  Now I've said that, I will have to tackle one next because I can't bear to give up!!  I can't be beaten by a pattern!).

Anyway, I was struck by the elegance of this motif and had to make it.  I find it graceful.

No.14 of 25-motif challenge

The centre hearts are a little fiddly to make
but overall it's a straightforward design to tat.

Do you like it?

Best wishes,
