The Grand Finale of the Hug of Hearts, the 25th following a series of 24 little hearts which used many different techniques, the 'Always in My Heart' heart.
A 14cm heart which can be altered by removing sections to reveal different size picture frames. This can be made as one full heart, a small center heart, a nine pin edge and honeycomb heart, two sizes of heart shape opening to frame a precious picture, a frilly or smooth edge featuring a 9 pin edge which can be omitted. The choice is yours.

I made this using Egyptian cotton thread, but any 28-30 wpc thread or colour is encouraged. Takes about 80 pairs to make it in one piece. The outside frame, worked in one direction takes approx 24 pairs.
Techniques include 9 pin edge. Honeycomb. Bedfordshire buds. Plaits. Picots Windmill crossings. Leaves (tallies). Adding in and taking out pairs into trails.
