Cy - A month of hearts

 My Free Form Hearts for the month of September 

For my  Straight From The Heart Quilt 

Metallic thread Kantha Quilted heart in contrasting halves.

Machine blanket stitch applique with hand stitched Buttonhole Bars edging.

A Crazy Quilt Patchwork Heart with Crochet flowers embellishments.

A cute 'fussy-cut' rose fabric heart, appliqued with small cross-stitches in a variegated thread.

I'm still trying to vary the techniques that I use on the hearts, and I think I'm still coming up with new ideas that I haven't tried yet. So much fun to be had in a haphazard free forming way.

That's my lot for September.

See you in October, lol.

Cy - Heart Crazy

Straight From the Heart Crazy Quilt

Week 27

This week I have a Kantha embroidery heart to show you.

Free Form style, drawing free-hand straight onto the fabric, gives this piece a traditional look.

The pale pink heart in the middle is rows of chain stitch.

Other stitches used are: running stitch, back stitch, satin stitch and emphasized couching (where the couching stitches comprise a design).

And a couple of blue 'bricks' on the Building Blocks quilt can be seen on my blog HERE

Now I must get a couple more days of packing done. Just got to get the house on the market, and then once sold, we can enjoy our travelling retirement.
