Weekly Challenge #180: UMT - MacDee

This week's challenge is a 'use my tangle' and we're asked to use MacDee by Anneke van Dam. It turns out this tangle pattern is inspired by tartan... It brings me straight back to my twenties when I had a 5-year relationship with a Scottish boy. Being Dutch myself, the kilt-culture was new to me, and I loved the proudness of the Scotts: being Scottish and wearing their kilts at special moments.

So... this challenge was about sweet memories to me and this made me decide the string would be a heart, with some tartan in the middle :-)

  5. MacDee roept voor jou dus leuke herinneringen op, leuk is dat. Je tile is weer eens een bewijs van 'less is more' (toch maar een beetje Engels).

  7. Het is zo leuk om overal verhalen met herinneringen te lezen! Ik had nooit kunnen bedenken, dat mijn bescheiden achtergrondpatroontje zoveel zou losmaken :-) Jouw bijdrage vind ik ook helemaal geweldig, zo leuk bedacht met het hart als string. Dank je wel!
