In honor of Valentine's Day, my 7th motif is a bookmark from the pattern 'Hearts', by Dee Powell from the book Tatted Bookmarks from Handy Hands. This pattern was easy to work - and I really do enjoy making bookmarks since they make great gifts to include in a card.
The thread is Gram's Variegated, Cebelia size 30 - my very first HDT (hand dyed thread) from Krystledawne. I didn't expect the thread variegation to be so pretty - but I really love this one! This second picture shows the true color better - it's varied pinks, not red. This thread is very nice to tat with - and I like how I can see my stitches. Is this the thread, or is it that my tatting is improving?
Happy Valentine's Day. May your heart be happy and full of love today!
That is a beautiful bookmark! Funny thing is I just made one of those with another color from that batch of thread lol....
