The one thing that never sat right with me was that bottom ring - it just does not seem to flow with the rest of the pattern. Of course the pattern as a whole is so lovely that I was able to overlook that one ring:) I don't have any of Stawasz's books, but am considering getting this one. Your flower motif made in green threads is absolutely beautiful!micahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322090750409629793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-13522555507066586302013-01-09T19:55:53.532-05:002013-01-09T19:55:53.532-05:00I love the Queen of hearts you've tatted!

(It's like one of those picture puzzles where they challenge you to find the differences!) In fact I apparently drifted off for a short nap after finding those rings (must have worn me out!), and woke up with both motifs still on the screen on my tablet (which is sitting on my lap)! I didn't quite understand yesterday what was 'wrong' with the motif and thought it was so pretty! And it still looks fine, but now I know what's missing! Not sure the rings are really necessary! <br /><br />It IS interesting that Jan would show a motif that mostly copies Mary'sKathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-47905500976901649232013-01-09T19:32:52.843-05:002013-01-09T19:32:52.843-05:00I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive.

So 'spring-y'.

They don't show up that much in my opinion. Both motifs look very nice. I like the vivid greens in the left one. <br /><br />As for the patterns and Jan's book. At least there was notation giving credit to MK. <br /><br />I do not have any of his books. I have so much available to me in my library right now, and the online free patterns, or the ones available on Etsy, that I haven't bought a book for some time. there would have to be a very compelling pattern for me to buy one at this point.Ladytatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333655818263465112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-86664916660760889312013-01-09T15:16:45.546-05:002013-01-09T15:16:45.546-05:00i really like the heart would like to try and make...i really like the heart would like to try and make one,can't find the patern thou. <br />and as for the two that are side by side... i can't see a difference either!!they both look greatlej619https://www.blogger.com/profile/12657550598436666883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-34226881566879771112013-01-09T14:31:02.406-05:002013-01-09T14:31:02.406-05:00Beautiful motif!!! :)Beautiful motif!!! :)God's Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14235608410243857253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-13481116918682283042013-01-09T14:14:24.716-05:002013-01-09T14:14:24.716-05:00Well Fox, that's one possibility I had not con...Well Fox, that's one possibility I had not considered.
