I love Valentine's day!!! I saw these patchwork hearts by Jodi Nelson, and had to try my own. I cut 1.5 inch strips and stitched them together, using a 1/4 inch seam. I then cut those in 1.5 inch strips again, matched the edges, pinned them and carefully sewed the together.
I then cut them out into heart shapes, sandwiched them together with boiled wool and the extra first strip backing.
I found some vintage looking ribbon and also some red rick rack and tied a bow on one side. I found some beautiful heart charms at Shipwreck Beads and tied them with a strip of vintage lace. I printed off a favorite Valentine quote, cut them out with pinking shears and slipped it under the ribbon. Then shipped them off in pretty mailers on sale at the Post Office. Great fun!!!!
