It's the month of love. Yep, the big L. Hearts and Roses. So, I've already shared some String Roses, now it's time for a heart2heart (see what I did there?) I was pretty surprised to find I had another heart pattern left in me, but here's one that I've been playing with and am really loving: heart2heart starts with an alternating s-grid - add some v's to create the outer heart then a second heart shape is added inside.

Today I want to share a really simple technique/pattern I've called "String Rose". This idea first made an appearance on the blog during the  old into new challenge back in 2014. I named one of the experimentation tiles as Trentwith  and though this pattern was the initial source of inspiration, my version takes a different approach. I had always meant to share the technique as it's so simple, and fun, but I just didn't get around to it. Until now! 2 1/2 years later.....haha. O.k., here goes........ The String Rose Pattern - this shows the base technique. As it's all done in one continuous line, I thought a little insta-video might help out: A video posted by A Little Lime (@alittlelime) on Feb 4, 2017 at 11:09pm PST I've never lin...
