Many years ago, whilst our son and daughter-in-law were still living in South Africa, Jenn embroidered this border on a hand towel for my mother who was delighted with it as it was covered in cats, each one different. It is now mine and I use it all the time and only noticed a couple of days ago that the red background in the centre circle is actually made up of four hearts. Maybe we are becoming more 'heart conscious' at the moment! I will offer the excuse that it is usually folded in half longways over the towel rail right through the hearts in the centre.
I have always loved that little border, mainly coz I would be looking at the cats - like you - never noticed the hearts! Makes me wonder what else in life we miss??!!
I agree it is precious but I would rather see it out that put away in a drawer. I only use it to dry the handle of my toothbrush before putting it away so it is hardly overworked. x

Ooh, so cute. Lovely handwork too. Yes, I'm also noticing hearts everywhere & nearly have enough for next year now. Take care.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are definitely more 'heart conscious' after this hearty exercise. x f

ReplyDeleteYou are right, I am sure we walk through life missing many small details. x
DeleteGreat border but I'd never use the towel as it would be too precious. Yes the hearts are obvious once you see them!
