My tatted heart, that is! My own real heart is still a work in progress as I have mentioned before.
~*~
Here's a photo of it in the late afternoon sun.
(Click on photo to enlarge)
I finished this last Sunday. I tatted it for my friend,
Laura, who has had some major challenges
health-wise. In spite of this she still finds a
way to be giving and very sweet to her online friends.

I wanted to surprise her with it so I waited until I
had heard from her that she had received it to post it.
She even has a post about it here!

This will count as Motif #2 for my second round of the

Please see my last post if you are interested in the
information about the materials that I used for this heart.

Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend! Thank you for coming to visit! I hope you leave a comment before going over to Laura's Tatting Muse to say hello or wish her well. Comments are always welcome here!
Caio for now!

What you do is AMAZING! I know Laura was more than thrilled to received this special gift from you.

Your heart is gorgeous! I looked back and noticed the teapot too. It is so cute!
Thanks for all your sweet comments on my blog.
Thank you for your sweet comments.
Your heart is really pretty. Laura will love it!!
Have a great week,
Rosemary
Well, you might not have liked the picture, but it comes across very well! Beautiful job. And what a wonderful thought to sent it to her.
Your tatted heart is stunning. I love the thread you chose. Just perfect for that heart. Lovely photograph too.
that is such a beautiful work of art!
Great work, that heart is lovely. Have fun with the challenge. I'm too mind swamped to start myself but I do love seeing everyone else's work.
The heart is beautiful, but even moreso the friendship you have found with Laura. I disobeyed you and went to her blog first and read about your friendship. Lovely just lovely. Twyla
This heart is so adorable! What a lovely gift for your dear friend.
Thank you for sharing the finished piece.
Tanya
I do not tat but I find your creations very fascinating.
I am a collector of fine needlework and the beauty of the tatted collars I am caretaker of are of such beauty they take one's breath away.
Your tatted heart is lovely.
Susan
Hi TattingChic, Lovely heart for Laura. It looks like you double layered the heart. It looks fantastic.
I wanted to let you know that I added the link on my site for that website I found, "free-tatting patterns".
Have a great day!
Oh, WOW! It's beautiful!
It turned out a treat, TattingChic...Laura will adore it! Beautiful...and love that strong red color. Happy week ahead, my friend ((HUGS))
ello my Dear,Thank you so much for stoping by and wishing me well.I am doing better,just not all the way yet.

Loving the wonderful complete heart!
Hi Patricia! Thank you. I hope she was. I just wanted to brighten her day and give her a tatted "hug".
Hi Chatelaine! Thank you! I'm glad you came to visit!
Thanks, Rosemary! I'm glad you stopped by.
Thank you, Tattrldy! You're very kind! Glad you came over to visit.
Thank you, Yarnjourney! I appreciate your sweet comment.
Thank you, Tinkerverve!
Hi Imoshen! The nice thing about the 25 Motif Challenge is that you get to pick when the year starts and it ends 1 yr after that. You could even tat 25 of the same thing and count each one as a motif. It's kind of cool. I'm glad that I've done it because it's kept me tatting.
Hi Twyla, I'm so glad that you took the time to go over and visit Laura's blog! Gosh, "disobeyed" is such a strong word...I had no idea that I had delivered a "commandment"! LOL! ;)
Hi Tanya! Thank you. I appreciate your comment! Glad you stopped by!
Hi Susan, thanks for stopping by. Glad to hear that you have a deep appreciation for tatting. I'd love to see some of your pieces that you have collected!
Hi Carol! Thanks for your sweet comment! I actually did not double layer the heart! It is just one strand of size 20 thread! The long shadows of the late afternoon sun that were cast made the lace look more "thick" or deep than it actually was. Isn't that funny?
Thank you, Cathy!
Hi Tracy! Thank you. Glad you like the "strong" red color! ((Hugs)) back to you!
ello back to you, dear Marie Antoinette! It's good to hear from you! I'm glad you are feeling better. Hope you're back feeling 100% better soon!
Thank you, Natasha! You're a sweetie!
A beautiful heart, indeed!!! Thanks for your two comments on my blog this weekend and yes, tatting would look great on the candlestick pincushion. Tatting enhances many things, it's true. pat
The heart turned out beautiful! I found a large amount of antique tatted lace at an auction last weekend. I love tatting but will probably sell it. SO much work goes into it but you know this:-)
Michelle
I did a little antique shopping this weekend and found a small tatted piece. I thought of you :)
What a beautiful heart - I love hearts so much, and that is very special.
Thank you so much for popping by. I so enjoy your visits, and you always say things that make me feel so warm inside. Thanks for that.
Just lovely! The way you packaged it was very special too. Girl, you have a heart of GOLD!

This is really really gorgeous. Your friend is very lucky to have you care for her.
Your heart is amazing. And the one you tatted, too! heehee. Thanks for visiting me on my new endeavor. God bless! - Alexia

Wonderful work. It looks so intricate, and I know a lot of time went into making that masterpiece!
Thank you, Pat! I'm glad you stopped by. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Michelle! Lucky you for finding some tatting. I've found a lot of tatting at antique shops - it's not always easy to find!
Awww...thanks, Paperbird! I hope you show the tatting that you found on your blog!
Oh, thank you, Lace Hearts! I really appreciate that sweet comment. I believe it's very important to give away as many "Warm Fuzzies" as possible!
Oh, thank you, Barb! You are very sweet. I don't know about that heart-of-gold thing, but I do know that I appreciate the friendship she has offered me.
Hi Dianelaces! Thank you. I am the lucky one to have her friendship and support this last year.
Hi Alexia! I'm glad to see you "out and about" again in bloggerland. Good luck in your new endeavor and I hope you accomplish all you set out to do!
Thank you, Nancy. I appreciate the comment.
Thank you, Andrea! You are kind.
Aw, thanks Reen! You're sweet!
Thank you, Dean! Glad you like it. I love the vivid! I knew my friend liked it so that's why it's in that color!
Thank you, Thimbleanna. I don't know how "lucky" my friend feels with all her health issues she's been faced with, but I do hope this comforts her in some way!
Thank you, Victoria!
Thank you, Amy! Glad you like the color. I do, too.
Thanks, Kelly! It was worth the time! It was a learning piece, too! I got to practise more split-chains!
Oh, that is gorgeous... once again you've "wowed" me! And the color is so vibrant and pretty!
How kind of you to give a bit of your heart to your friend. Blessings to you both.
What a beauty...I know your friend will always treasure it...hugs, Linda
I'm home from Arkansas and playing catch up. Your little heart is lovely...absolutely lovely! You did a fine job; I'm sure Laura will hold it lovingly!
Hi!
You are just such a sweet Heart!!! That is gorgeous! Thanks for being such a sweet blogging frined!
Blessings..Lorena
Oh the heart turned out so pretty and I love the rich color. Laura will just love it. Your heart sent to hers. So beautiful!!
You asked if I moved? No, but I have a new yard because I have been redesigning it and doing lots of new planting. It took us several weeks and we are finally finished. Thank you for asking and thank you for your kind comments. Good Luck in my giveaway.
Hugs, Celestina Marie
Your heart turned out beautifully Tatting Chic!!
Also, your photograph is pretty too.
Laura is a lucky girl.
Your heart will bring her joy and your kindness!
xox
Constance
Wow, this is gorgeous! Your friend is fortunate to be receiving such a labor of love.
Karen
That little tatted heart is beautiful!! I just know she loved it :)
xo,
rue
That is a stunning heart! How thrilled Laura must be. I love it when you share your work, you are so talented! I think you have a beautiful heart but as you said, our hearts are always a work in progress :)
Thinking of you fondly,
Kathi :)
That is a beautiful work of art, and so sweet of you to make it for a friend in need.
XO,
Donna Lynn
That's beautiful! Thanks for popping in at my blog and giving me the heads' up about yours!
I'm learning to shuttle tat as a way of trimming dresses. My specialty is smocking, but tatted trim is more and more difficult to find anymore.
I don't want to learn anything fancy. Just a tiny picot trim. So far I can make one ring. :)
the heart is beautiful, the sentiment is warm, the photo is AWESOME!!!
xo
Hi TattingChic,
It's hard to come up with something that someone else hasn't already said but it's a beautiful heart for a beautiful lady and from a lovely friend. God Bless you both.
That is so beautiful. I've said it before, but your skill truly amazes me! xorachel
Thank you so much, Farm Chick Paula! I so enjoy your visits. You always say the sweetest things!
Thank you, Laura Ingall Gunn! What a sweet thing to say! Blessings to you, too!
Thank you, Linda! She does appreciate tatting that others do as well as her own.
Awww, thanks Betty! That is a sweet thing to say: "I'm sure Laura will hold it lovingly".
Hi Lorena, I'm so glad you stopped by! Thank YOU for being a sweet bloggy friend!
Hi, Celestina Marie! Thank you! I'm glad you like the color. It is one of my faves of Yarnplayer's HDT's. I'm glad to hear you didn't move. Thank you for the update! Love the way you decorate your yard and home!
Thank you so much, Constance! I'm glad you like the heart and the photograph. I wondered if the long shadows were too harsh for the delicate tatting, but it seems to have brought out a different element to the texture that can't be seen in other light.
Thank you, Karen! I am fortunate to have such a sweet friend to tat for!
Thank you, Sweet Rue!
Well said, Kathi! Yes, we all have a work in progress with our hearts. What a long and hard work it is sometimes, too, isn't it! Tatting is almost as hard, but I think it's actually easier than the work in progress of my actual heart, LOL!
Thank you so much, Donna! I'm so glad you stopped by.
Keep tatting, Flea! I hope to see those simple and pretty little tatted trims on your smocked dresses soon! Do come back to visit often, okay!?
Thank you so much, Elyse! I'm so glad you like the photo!
Sy, what a lovely comment from a lovely tatting blogger friend! Thank you!
Thank you so much, Rachel! Now, we have to get your sweet niece Karla to tat! I hope she still wants to learn! :)
