On my recent road trip I did, indeed, go with all my heart. Actually I went with alllllllllll my hearts! And I returned with more hearts than I thought possible.
Hearts are just so easy to make. A simple pattern with one fluid line of stitching; a quick turn, stuff and a blank palette is born! No matter the base fabric, I love adding layers of paint, rhinestones, and ribbons.
The red plaid wool lived its former life as a Pendleton skirt and kept my chilly hands toasty as we ventured north. Even though my travels hugged the Gulf Coast, it was still cold by my tropical standards!
There were a few bark cloth hearts in the mix- perfect for primitive Valentines. A few random wool sweater hearts as were in the bag as well.
But then I found some silk checkered napkins along the way and I just couldn't resist making more hearts! Two large shopping totes and 5 bags of fiberfill later, I have hearts coming out of my ears!
Time to break out the embellishments and make these hearts sing! From simple whimsy to extreme grungy primitive, this year holds an abundance of love thanks to one long, cold road trip!
LOVE & ABUNDANCE!
