Heartily Handled

I could not tat Frivole's sweet, little heart just once, because I had made such a hash of it - here, so I had another go at it.

#69-100 Motif Challenge

The HDT (I forget whose thread this is - sorry!) split and I had to actually cut the thread as I was doing the border!  But, at least it is better than the first attempt.

I also took the liberty of changing the pattern just a wee bit. Tatting the the bottom ring, I used a Josephine Knot of 14 stitches to make it large enough.  I like the way it looks!

I am paying dearly for my bravado in the last post; I have had to un-tat quite a lot of the Iris Niebach piece I am working on at the moment.  Ah, the ups and down of Tat-land...

    It's blue! Could it be from Tatskool? It looks so familiar.

    Your Catherine Wheel joins look good to me! I haven't mastered those yet!

    I'm stopping by to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day, and to again mention how impressed I am with all your tatting and the speed with which you finish your projects. I'm in awe over the flowers and leaves in your previous post!
