It was so nice to hear from the young and reckless regarding one of my patchwork hearts that I’m giving away. Thank you to all who left a comment and the winner is: Deborah U. Congratulations Deborah!

This is how I’ve finished my version of the heart shape cut from an older quilt with hand embroidery. It has been stitched to a felt background fabric with a blanket stitch. Later I whip stitched a size 3 pearl cotton thread through the top edge of the blanket stitch to add more pizzazz around the shape. Not sure how I’ll finish up the felt background. But I’m so happy to have found a use for this old quilt and can’t wait to make more!
