10. Trilogy Heart
Three little Bedfordshire buds just fitted nicely into this heart shape. I also made one using roseground which used fewer pairs and gave a finer texture.
The two pairs of thick thread is not easy to hide in the finish at the end. If they are knotted, they would create a huge lump. To avoid this lump, after the rest of the threads have been closed, I lay the the thick theads over each other and use a handy passive or worker thread to make a couple of little stitches to hold them together. Trim the thick threads and this will be hidden at the back of the work.
The center design can be made using a different colour by carrying some of the pairs in with the passives to return to the ground further on. This would create a little coloured line in the edge, so be aware when adding colour.
