revised and new

So I completed the 4^th motif and also changed the leaves in the 3^rd.

Blossoms Garlands

I enjoyed playing with the 4 motifs to create 2 possible garlands for spring ! All that is required is to join them and perhaps add a leaf or two where necessary.

Garland #1 (on the left) has motifs 1 & 2 ;

Garland #2 has motifs 3 & 4.

Blossoms Motif #3 (revised)

I changed the colour of leaves in motif #3 and also tweaked the stitch-count. 

Much happier now. Revised leaf pattern is on the pic. 

Pattern for flowers is here.

Blossoms Motif #4

Stitch-count for the fourth motif is notated in the pic.
I added a different flower shape in the middle. 

Design TIP : I realised that as the number of motifs increase, it will become easier to design. In order to decide where to place leaves, and how many leaves, I placed one of the previous motifs under a white card paper; placed and positioned this new motif over it; and it was easy to see whether the leaf(s) looked good or not.

In Lizbeth 20, this motif also measures 2 x 1½ inches

What I cannot decide is which way to sew it on … which do you like better?

All Blossoms Motifs patterns will be added here under Nature 2D. 

whatever the weather, spring is never far from a tatting heart !
