I was in a heart swap at Valentine's. After I posted my finished pieces on my blog, Dana said she wanted to trade for a heart. So this is the heart I made for her. I worked on this while taking care of my daughter at the hospital on and off these last few weeks. The fabrics are the same as the ones I used in my swag/garland at Christmas. Plus a strawberry one I received from my friend Berries at MJF.
Some of the buttons are new; some are vintage. The pearl cotton bordering the heart is antique pearl cotton.
This item is meant to be finished by the recipient. It can be added to in any way she wants, such as boarders to make it a little bigger to make a small pillow out of it; make it into an appliqué; or make it a pocket on an apron, you name it; what ever she can think off. I hope she likes it, too, because I did a different technique than I did before. Some love and some worry for my daughter are in this heart -- every stitch.

That is too cute. Isn't making yoyo's relaxing?
There's those yo-yo's again! This is really sweet. Oh how I love them! I've got to try and make some. I think I'd like to make a coverlet/bedspread.
you should try yo-yos are easy to make and if you use a cd or a mini cd you can use up most of your scrapes if you are a sewing type person. The scrapes I can't use with yo-yos I use for English paper piecing
Thanks so much, I'm going to start as soon as I get some other projects done.
