Day 15 of HEARTS! Textured Heart

Day 15 of HEARTS!

Many of you know that I love hearts! I love the shapes and all of the possibilities. This little brooch is chalk full of needle lace and textured embroidery stitches. The stitches are worked in size 8, 10 and 12 perle cotton. Many of the textured stitches can be found in my book The Embroidery Book.

Happy February to you!

Day 14 of HEARTS! Red Roses

Day 14 of HEARTS!

Many of you know that I love hearts! I love the shapes and all of the possibilities. This is one of my favorite pieces, it is called Red Roses, and is a sample from my class Hankies and Lace. This piece represents 4 generations of love, the handkerchiefs were from my grandmother and my mother, the various treasures came from here and there, and sitting pretty in the middle of everything is my darling Gwen, the white and red lady bug. Happy Valentine’s Day to all who love hearts!

Happy February to you!
