The Heart is in the Mail

Another recuperating being out there inspired this.

Ohhhh, I really like it this time! But, I will send it off tomorrow with my best wishes.

I do like this pattern....from Judith Connor's Tatting Adventures with beads, shuttle and needle. The thread is Lisbeth #20, and it is a wonderfully soft lilac shade.

Also fooling around with SCMR"s:


That border? Only fifteen more repeats (it seems ENDLESS) and then I get to sew it on to the hanky!

  2. All your hearts are beautiful. I think the beads show up more on the lavendar one. Nice job on the coaster. I am going to have to check into getting that book.
    SCMRs are so cool. Pretty motif.
