Valentine Hearts…
January 25, 2013 by admin • 43 Comments
Pinterest and blog-world are filled with inspiration for Valentine’s Day, it makes me want to jump right in and join the fun! Visiting Jane’s blog ~ Cottage at the Crossroads~ inspired me to go to the fabric store where I picked up a couple of fun Valentine prints. I took them with me to our daughter’s house, she provided the pinking shears and we had fun creating fabric Valentine hearts. We cut out the hearts with pinking shears, hand-stitched around the edges, filled the hearts with some poly-fill and secured the stitching. I was excited to take some of the hearts home and put them on display in this small rustic carrier, along with some felt and wooden hearts adding more texture and interest.
For extra fluff and lift I put some poly-fill in the bottom of the carrier – and placed the hearts on top.
My grand-daughter gave me one of the hearts she made, it’s the one in the front left corner. That’s a special one!
This little charming box found it’s way to the guest-bedroom….and I also took a couple of the fabric hearts (fabric only) and put them in a white frame. What a neat way to welcome guests during this season! Let them know they are loved for sure!
I’m so glad you stopped by for another visit here at home!

Love the little hearts!!! I think the one your grand daughter did was great…I understand why it is so special to you. Anything the kids do are “special”. Have a wonderful Friday
Thank you Diane, I appreciate the sweet note!
Your ideas are so simple, but so inspiring!!..The little things mean a lot!!
I’m going to attempt making pillows with a large heart on top, then onto the sweet little hearts!!
Thank you!! (again)
Thanks Karen, have a great day!
They’re so cute Moni!! I bet the best part was making them with your special helper:)

Sweet idea to frame the hearts!
Thank you for visiting and leaving a sweet comment, JoAnn!
I just put a basket on the back of our toilet, but I don’t have anything to go inside… These would be perfect – and I could make different ones for different holidays! Found you at the Make the Scene link up party – I’m a new follower!
Have a great week!

This is such a sweet idea! They look so adorable. I love that you made them with your daughter and granddaughter. The one she made for you is so special. I’m sure you’ll treasure it always. Thanks so much for sharing this at Silver Pennies Sundays! x
This is a wonderful and sweet way to welcome guests! I saw Jane’s post on the fabric valentines too, and now I’m doubly inspired to try making some! Linda
So simple yet so effective. A great way to use up pretty fabric.Fiona
What a sweet project! I love the rustic carrier you used and the variety of heart styles!
It looks so pretty Moni. And every time you look at it, it’ll remind you of the fun time you spent with your daughter and granddaughter. I love that you framed the fabric hearts, too. Such a simple idea but it looks lovely, and can easily be changed out with the seasons. Have a great day!

Absolutely adorable! And thanks for the info on adding polyfill, I always wonder what I can use to lift things in a box or basket!
