Stitched with Love - Friendly Friday


Love is a marvelous, miraculous thing, but has this in common with fire:
one must keep it going and feed it.
Jean Simard


An evening or two of stitching resulted in this crazy patch heart. I love making things without patterns - just stitching as the muse leads. A few buttons and a piece of twill tape stamped with love to hold a little bouquet finished it off.


Now, where to put it? And should I do a tutorial?

Thank you for your comment. I read and value each one, cherishing the connections we can make although far apart. Usually, I visit your blog in return, although if you ask a question I try to contact you directly.
