So....if you saw my friend, Cheryl's tatted heart:
It was formed from the center of this doily which I was tatting and having her tat the same thing, but her picots were too large and it stayed in a straight line as if it were an edging and she formed it into the heart. Well, I just kept mine going till it formed a circle to show her what could be done. Then, she wanted to see if and how you could add more to make a doily so I did a second round(no pattern used on this whole project-didn't think I could do that). She really likes it and then asked if I could do more, and I said there were several options and I would do something and show her later. Well, you get to see it first. It's all tatted in size 10. And I am going to write it up for any beginner who wants to tat it. And I think she is going to want to see if I can do more(which I am wondering already)-good thing I have so many awesome tatters to watch for inspiration and ideas!!! Thank you all for sharing your projects with us beginners!!! :)
Have an awesome evening!!! :)

I'm so happy to read that your friend Cheryl is learning to tat. I hope to meet you both on the 29th!
Thanks Diane! Can I get the time and location for the 29th from you??? I sure hope we can make it!! :)
wonderful, teaching someone else to tat.
Your doily is very nice. and the colors work well together.
Well done. It's pretty and lies flat, which is not always a given!
Thank you Ladytats, and Jane!! The center colors were what Cheryl had and wanted me to use at first, and I didn't want to keep using up her very small stash of tatting thread so I told her I would use something I had. I am glad the navy thread worked with the pastel variegated, but either way, I figured it's just for teaching so color wasn't a big deal for now. :) And Jane, I am so glad it lies flat cuz' I was really worried that it wouldn't. It does cup a little, but I forced it to behave without blocking. :)
This is very pretty. Simple and effective and lovely colour combo.
