aug roundup 1

 Our game of the month for August 2022 in our Endrucks 1920 Project FB group, where a heart was to be prettified, can be considered quite a success. We were happy to see lots of personalised versions coming in, including a few patterns! There are too many pics to share, hence in this 1st part I will focus on the adaptations that come with a proper pattern pdf. All posts will be organised alphabetically.

But first, the heart that started it all -

Heart motif  from pattern #3 by Meenakshi (muskaan) Jain

First spied in January 2022, converted to a pattern in June, and used for our 'pretty me aug 2022' game in our FB group.

Key Chain Pendant by Marina MadJar Tatting

Keeping the heart motif exactly the same, Marina added a split ring braid connecting hearts as well as the key chain ring, all tatted in one pass. 

The insertion of a large bead between twin hearts makes it look like an embedded pearl!

Heart motif and Bookmark by Margaret Davies

Margaret enlarged the motif by adding another round enclosing the original heart. Further decoration consists of either picots, Josephine rings, or beads.

The entire motif is worked in one pass.

The bookmark is a further adaptation of the enlarged heart with individual hearts within.

Both patterns are contained in this pdf -

Coaster by Ninetta Caruso

Repeating 5 hearts with a split ring between each and Ninetta gives us a coaster that can be tatted in one pass.

Butterfly motif by Stephanie Mc (Tattimic)

Hearts make such lovely butterflies! Stephanie adds a distinct body between the wings, again tatted continuously!
