Sweet Hearts

Hello again lovely readers........lots of hearts stitched on things here today......beginning with my vintage heart cushion.......
.......it's very soft both in colours and textures.......the quilting is by hand and the hearts are appliquéd by hand too.....
.........the fabrics are a mixture from my scrap basket.....
..........more little scraps were used for a new sweetheart pincushion.........the little rosebuds are some of my favourite prints........
..........here it is on my work table with lots of cotton reels and buttons.......
..........below is the original version along with a cross stitched love note.....all these designs have patterns in my etsy shop link in sidebar........
............romance.......valentine's day.......hearts and flowers........i love them all year round personally ;)......
........we have had some chilly walks this week (hubby goes for walks in any weather, but i'm more of a fairweather walker)..........amazing clouds over the estuary (the coastline in the distance is wales)......
.........luckily we've had some cheerful blue skies on lots of days and sunshine too.........
............below is a beautiful hebe shrub growing in our garden giving us flowers all year round.....
.........one last picture of a little sweetheart pincushion.......

Hi Helen, I love your cushion and agree that hearts are not just for valentines. The fabric colours are so pleasing to the eye and a good reminder to keep our scraps. Your photography, as always, is great.
