Cornucopia of Blossoming ideas

Combo ideas with blossoms motifs.

You might remember Alibaba had tied 20 thieves to the ‘board’, isolated from each other by invisible walls, while he went back to hunt down the rest. But it was festive season so in a humane gesture he temporarily set them free – snipped their shackles so that they could enjoy the ‘outdoors’, chat and catch up with each other. And as they mixed around, their huddles threw up a cornucopia of possible ideas shaping future projects …..

Please note that the original Blossoms motifs (or sprays) are not linked at this stage; they are merely arranged into possible shapes (a few of which have been shared earlier). For better definition of shape, one can add a few strategically placed leaves and similarly fill in any gaps.


Rushing out from their confinement, they took on the shape of bouquets!

Some crossed paths and fluttered around like butterflies!

What a couple of squares these dudes turned out!

Then there was a trio of siblings renewing their bonds of love and blood. What better shape than a heart?!

Stitchcount for Blossoms Heart #1 is notated on the tatted model itself, including the total number of petals/rings in each. Each ring has only 2 numbers since the 2nd half of ring is a mirror image. A single numeral means all 4 segments of the ring have same count. Numeral in the box indicates number of rings/petals.

Opposites attracted too, ending in cozy embraces!

Bosom pals huddled together, but larger huddles were also seen. Pretty wreaths, but were they playing or planning an escape?

Some just went nuts, playing choo-choo train! Or was it to scour the perimeter for possible escape routes?

These are starting ideas that need a bit more definition in terms of shape.
Put on your thinking caps and let’s get creative!!!


After this temporary sojourn, the 20 thieves were once again rounded up and corralled which is where they will stay till the remaining 20 are found. There might be another cornucopia in future….

  4. An Artist and Storyteller. Two admirable traits. Your talents know no bounds! It’s fun to watch how your different placements of flowers and leaves create a completely different images. Yet you’re using the same colors and same shape of individual motifs. You show how playful a tatter can be! Beautiful work, Muskaan. Beautiful work!

    1. Hey, I'm still a kid who Loves jigsaws, Linda ;-P
      But my best ever Maths project (I was head of our BEd Maths class for a collective exhibition) was showcasing how maths is used in everyday life and situations. It was so down-to-earth that even maths-challenged loved the exhibits and we all had a great time discovering the principles and concepts in our daily activities (including stitchcrafts!).
