Mille-Fleurs pattern ready - and a Draw!

I know Forget-Me-(K)not was a very strong contender so I hope I won't disappoint too many of you but I went with a French name again.  Mille-Fleurs just really appealed to me and although I kept swapping the names around, in the end, Mille-Fleurs won.




As I mentioned before, I did things slightly differently in this pattern so I provided a lot of pictures to make sure it was all clear and there is also a video available that shows how to make the petals.



Thank you very much to my testers who gave me lots of good feedback!




I'm going to have a draw to win copies of this pattern.  There will be three winners.  If you'd like to be entered, please leave a comment on this post.  I will make the draw on Friday evening (UK time).

Best wishes,
Frivole

    1. Hi Michelle, it's an interesting blue isn't it? It's called Upper Atmosphere and is by Karey Solomon. I should tat a few more flowers in it an re-post as this doesn't show the full range of this thread! But I'd made a mistake so I just showed the one flower. :-)

  2. What a lovely pattern! I am newly returned to tatting after an absence of many years, and am amazed at all the new designs and techniques. I especially liked that this one can be an edging or a motif.

    1. Hi Linda, this is an old post now so the draw is no longer current but the pattern is available in my Etsy shop if you would like to tat it! And no, I'm afraid there is no meds for it, when the tatting bug strikes... that's it, you're done for! :-)
