Hug of Hearts 15. The Posy Heart

 15. The Posy Heart

This colourful heart uses tallies which hide a different colour inside.

I made a simple half stitch edge with a cloth stitch pink as the inner passive, this helps to hide the run off when taking the thrown out pairs into the edge.  

The pink thread was used as the worker to make the tallies, the white thread is hidden inside.  At the edge, the pink thread is discarded and a green thread added to be the worker for the leaf tallies.

5 pairs pink, 2 pairs green, 17 pairs white. 

I will make this one again, but with Magic Threads.  All the pink threads will then be only seen in the petals, and the green (hidden inside the petals) will create green stalks.
