Heart to Heart - Some Valentine Projects



Found the most adorable fabric heart craft that is easy enough for anyone to do in a couple hours.  The pattern is free and this can be used to make a sachet with a bit of lavender in it or maybe a pincushion or just a sweet little decoration for Valentines Day.


Back of the heart

See, even pretty done just with fabric!



Of course I had to add a bit of embroidery to mine but it certainly isn't necessary.  Just use some fun fabric scraps.  The finished hearts are about 5" by 6" and the most difficult part is tying a nice square knot.

Here is the link for the free pattern.  The font is a freebie I got off a German embroidery design site.  Unfortunately I can't figure out which one but I certainly would love to have the entire alphabet to use on children's clothing.

So, Some Sunflowers!

A bit too early for pumpkins I stitched out this beautiful sunflower design from The Itch2Stitch.  It's simple but elegant and a nice transition into fall decorating.  I'm never disappointed with the quality of their digitizing.

We All Have Our Baggage

You have probably noticed while traveling that when your luggage comes onto the carousel in baggage claim your little black bag looks pretty much like everyone else's.  I solved this problem by creating monogrammed bag tags. Using bright and beautiful grosgrain ribbon I used a font called Eccentric and embroidered directly onto the ribbon as it was held in place on my stabilizer with adhesive spray. The font was skinny enough that I could use a bigger more bold 2 inch initial.  To make them sturdy enough to survive the handling process I used large grommets. In addition I thought they could use a bit of extra embellishment and I added a wooden bead and some extra ribbons tied on to jazz them up a bit.  Getting that ribbon through the bead proved to be the most difficult part of the entire process but I liked how it finished them. Fun colors that will certain make your bag stand out in a crowd.  We all have our baggage - flag yours! Ribbons are 1 1/2 inche
