18 My Moon and Stars
'You are my sun, my moon and all my stars' A line from an E.E.Cummings poem gave me the name for this heart. The Sunshine Heart will finish the quote.
This Moon and Flowers Heart features a long crescent heart held in place with tiny picots made from the outer passive from the inside of the tally. 12 pairs. An extra twist was made around the pair of passives making the outside curve. This helps keep the weaver threads spaced more evenly.
The tally is made with 3 pairs, one pair on each side, and the other bobbin to the weaver making the middle thread. This helps to keep the shape. It is important to keep the passives laying towards you as the crescent shape is made. A support pin on the inside of the curve, at the side, not in the tally, can help keep the shape as you work. The worker pair comes out from the edge, goes around the pin with the outer passive.
The star is cut from a 10mm round sequin. You can add more criss cross pairs if you have smaller stars and would like to add more into the design. Choose your own edge techniques. The edge is worked in one direction. Magic threads were added to make the final join easier.
