I thought I would try something different in the way
of my two passions, tatting and bobbin lace.  This heart
is for an exchange.  I used 1 ply silk thread from a 12 ply
skein from The Thread Gatherer out of Boise, ID.  This made
the thread very fine.  So far the finest thread I have used
for bobbin lace. I tatted the 3 connected motifs first.  Then
pinned it to the pillow and made a simple whole stitch pricking
surrounding it.  As I was working on it I found some areas
that could use improvement.  I should have stabilized
the whole stitch ground by putting a twist after each
passive and the workers at the ends.
I will learn next time, hehe.

This is my second attempt at this pattern.  Here I took 6
pairs of bobbins and used size 80 tatting cotton.  It made
for a much sturdier edging.
