In May of 2013 I was working full time and a coworker brought in some tatting that an Aunt had gifted her. She unwrapped the tissue and inside was a beautiful blue cross.
I hadn't seen any tatting for a while and awed at the lovely knots all lined up. I told her that my mother had taught me to tat almost 50 years ago but I only did one hanky and then never did another stitch.
With my interest now piqued, I started to browse the internet for samples of tatting. It was this heart that I saw and had to know how to make it. One day I was able to track down the pattern and purchased it on etsy. As happenchance would have it the gal who designed this and who I purchased the pattern from lived in the same city.
It was destiny and tatting became my passion for the next five years. I tatted this heart up quickly tonight adding a SSSR at the top should I turn these into earrings. I used a DMC pearl 12 , measures 3 cm or 1.25 inches long.
I still love this little heart that stole my heart.

It’s very elegant, no wonder it brought you back into the world of tatting.
