I Like It!

Here's the third large motif, this one tatted without mishap (I think). I really like the way these are coming together. The negative spaces between motifs are very interesting to me, and it will be even more so when the small motifs are completely surrounded by the large ones. I don't think I've mentioned the color yet; it's Lizbeth 606 Charcoal.

And here's the reason why I'm making this.

This formerly beautiful, and now sad and dejected-looking, pillow needed replacing. I really need a pillow behind my back because this recliner is just a little too big for me (I got a great deal on it used, so I don't care). But this one's lifespan is clearly over.

So I got a new pillow cover from The Slipcover Shop, in a plain lavender duck cloth that will be very durable.

And here's an idea of what it will look like with the tatting on it.

With two more row of motifs plus two rounds of edging, it should be just about the right size. I'll try to get a photo that captures the lavender color better, but I will clearly have to do it at some other time of day.

A friend of mine has loaned me an air purifier to see if it will help with Squijum's allergies. Let's hope it does, because the vet and I are running out of ideas.
