Another 2 colleagues are leaving. I love to make the 4-leaf clover bookmarks to give away since it is a symbol of good luck. The leaves of 4-leaf clovers are said to stand for Hope, Faith, Love, and Luck, so I hope my Lucky Sequin Clover will bring them luck in love, happiness, success and fortune. These will be Motif No. 7/25 for the challenge. The centre piece already went to Eileen, the other bookmark will go to Kim next week:
I have the pattern in written form already, but as I am not well-versed with drawing programmes, Jane Eborall has graciously agreed to help with the drawings. Just one catch to the pattern, I used heart-shaped sequins in a certain size I found in my stash, and I'm not sure if they are easily available. I didn't start off with using sequins, but as the design evolved, I remembered Jane's Share a Tat challenge and decided to check through my stash to see what I have. I didn't join Jane's challenge earlier as I have problem finding the sequin size called for. But we can adapt patterns to whatever sizes we have, can’t we ? Well, the pattern will be up on Jane's website soon.

Your four-leaf cloves are wonderful! Inspired by your stash... hmmm! What an interesting concept!
Very nice.
Oh, how sweet, the first glimpse of the adorable four leaf clovers took my breath away...or maybe it's that I am part raccoon and shiny objects (like the sequins) have that effect on me...lol...
Oh, well, nonetheless, the recipients are sew very lucky. Is there a pun in there somewhere? I hope knot...ah ha ha ha ha.
Hey, I must be part raccoon too! Shiny objects and colors blow me away. These are beautiful and I can't wait to see the pattern. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I think it was the sequin that took our breaths away. Like you, I love giving away bookmarks. There are already a few patterns that I will be repeating but I need new patterns. I am bored now...
I just discovered the beauty of sequins, and the variety of shapes of sequins there are. They are flat, so they are quite appropriate for bookmarks. I will be using more sequins for a few more designs. Hope they will work out.
