| Block 47 - Trim That Heart |
As
much as I like playing with fabric I also like to play with trim and notions
(ribbon, rick-rack, buttons, etc). And
so it is with Block 47.
I
created a very simple paper-pieced block which features a band across the heart. (You can download the free 3" and 4" Band of Hearts template here.) The band can be embroidered as shown here .....
 |
| I used Segoe Script font from Microsoft Work sized at 32 for the words on this 3" heart. |
or
it can provide the perfect backdrop for a little bit of trim .......
 |
| Block 47 - I paper pieced a cream band to lie behind the trim. |
So
what are you waiting for? Go play
.......
p.s.
If you are looking for a good use for the 3” heart blocks then check out Simple Striped Accent Pillow pattern by Susie's Sunroom – the accent strip is the perfect size for the 3”
block. I shall be joining in a blog hop at
the beginning of March for this versatile pattern so 'watch this space' as they say.
Your hearts are beautiful! Thank you for the links.

ReplyDeleteThank you Vera. I am having great fun trying to improve my camera skills whilst making these little blocks.
ReplyDeleteI think you've succeeded - all of the photos are just charming, every day! Your little blocks make wonderful models, and I love seeing your choices of accents to include. It's a new artform!!!
DeleteI adore these paper pieced hearts by you! That is so sweet where you can embroider on the band, as well as add lace or trim! I can't wait to see your Patchsmith Pillow in the Simply Striped Pillow Blog Hop in March!
