I *heart* Hearts

More Hearts for Across The Pond Sew Along

I just love  pulling  out all the pink and red fabrics and having some fun with them in Februrary!

I am loving the Heart theme for our Across The Pond Sew Along this month.
Amy,  of  eamylove@  Amy Made That! launched February's theme:  hearts.

Amy made this Cupid's Arrow table runner , a modified herringbone pattern

There are a lot of ways to include "hearts" into a project... Check out a a few more ideas with me.....

Amanda,  The Patchsmith, has designed a Valentine Coaster, and offers it  to everyone as a free pattern!  Isn't she a love!!

I saw how cute these were, and whipped up a coaster with my fabrics. This is a fast and easy pattern, and it showed me exactly how to sew up this smaller patchwork for my background.

I ran across another free pattern for making a Fabric Heart Bookmark  at Sew Many Ways.

Fabric Heart Bookmark 

I found this delightful  tutorial pattern for a Fabric Heart Bookmark at Sew Many Ways.  

I have been adding fabric with hearts to a regular pattern, so it can be featured in February , and still used year- long. 
I  made the Triple Zip Pouch in the Triple Zip-Along, and added the applique heart on the front.  
And recently, I  made a Cathedral Window Pincushion, and used a pink fabric, with hearts , and a black fabric with red and pink "love" words.

Wait a minute.... what is that up there on the far right???

Meet Valentine!!

It was easy to make a bird pincushion fit the theme by using  some heart  fabrics!   

See the machine-sewn heart stitches around the wings....

So grab something that you like to make,   and put in some hearts fabrics, and send your picture to me or our Across The Pond Sew Along group to share with everyone!!

Oh yeah,  she's going to fit right in with  the rest of the girls!!

I'm off to my sewing room!
