I thought I'd have to wait yet another week - but - out of nowhere, I was inspired to sew the one in the pattern!
I'm just so proud of this little cozy! True humili-tea!

This heart pattern is fairly new, designed last year by Linda Davies, also known as Tattyhead. You can find the link on her blog which takes you to the PDF HERE!
As you can see in this scan where I put it in a birthday card for my daughter-in-law, the scan makes the thread look much pinker. Another reason why I'm not fond of this scanner/printer.
These are from Birgit Phelps Peacock Heart pattern. When I tatted Irene's Heart of the Butterfly, I filled both shuttles nearly full and I didn't need all that thread so I tatted Birgit's heart and still had enough to tat another one plus some heart balloons. If I'd been thinking, I could have tatted the two together to make a basket, but it didn't occur to me at the time. Birgit has some clover earrings on her pattern page too if you are planning ahead for St. Paddy's Day.
I loved this pattern the very first time I saw it. I tatted this one in Cebelia size 30. No color number on the label or inner spool but it is obviously red! I used a printout from 2001 but that's only because it was in my Heart binder and handy. I also have the book edited by Georgia Seitz titled "Tatting Online, The Official 1999 Tat_Chat Pattern Book." You can email Georgia to find out if the book is still available. The pattern is on page 83 and designed by Irene Woo.
