I may get shot here because I see everyone else loves it as it is, but I see your concern and would become OC about it, too. May I offer a suggestion? (I am under medication for sore knee so blame it on that, if you like.) Since the little gold heart had the big open space between threads, what if you added a bead or a French knot to nest in that hole in a shade slightly lighter or darker, like you did with the scotch squares in the teal heart? That would "balance the stitch styles a little and also give the little gold heart a little more substantial presence up against the bigger hearts? Just a thought.....Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168062879331647053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-87262648818404267772009-09-15T16:24:17.201-04:002009-09-15T16:24:17.201-04:00Hi,
