My Valentine's Day Stitch...

Jo from Serendipitous Stitching hosted a Valentine's Day Blog Hop. To be involved you had to stitch a Valentine's pieced project and post a photo. My photo was sent to another blog. I thought you might be keen to see the project I stitched so here it is.




I found the ombre hearts pattern on a sweet blog called Little Lovelies.   I used the DMC threads 157, 161, 162 and 809.  I love the simpleness of the design and the effect of the fabric wrapped embroidery hoop to frame it.

Happy stitching…

Cute finish, the little hearts are sweet and the fabric wrap hoop is a nice way to display them. Enjoyed seeing your earlier update on your two cut-through wips, fun projects both of them.

That is lovely and it proves that hearts don't have to be red/pink!
