Well, here I am with the third post concerning Hearts.
And, in this post, you will see why my favorite colors are green, red and pink.
My first grade teacher told me you should never put red and pink together. I've spent a good bit of my life doing just that.
So here are a few too many photos showing another of my total passions....pincushions!
I can't help myself!
This little brass pincushion, was also in a post not long ago. It's sweet. I hope you can see the little pink clear heart, the tiny brass one...it is made up of many TINY little hearts. Then the usual straight pins with a heart at the top. I LOVE those things. Not to mention that the bird is dear. This was a gift from my friend, Jim, very long ago.
Here are the crazy quilted treasures I made also long ago. You may be sick of seeing some of these little pieces as I've shown them so many times, but I never tire of them and will probably show them from time to time until I quit blogging.
Here are the sizes:
The needlebook is approx. 5 1/4" x 7 1/2" opened flat and 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" closed
The tiny pincushion is 2 1/4" square
The larger pincushion is 4 1/4" square
and
the brass bird pincushion is 2 1/2" wide and 2 1/2" tall
Again....so cute. That little round clip holds a tiny portion of one of my business cards...its part of an embroidered tree. I just thought adding it to the mix was FUN.
Here are the three crazy quilted sewing items. They are on top of a very old length of fabric.
Of course, I loved the colors in it!
Closer photos!
The Needlebook.
So, are you noticing the tiny Satin Stitched Hearts? They are on each piece of the larger two and then there are some Back-stitched hearts on the needlebook and the tiniest square one.
They are all such fun to stitch. There may be some showing up on the Heartprint Giveaways. Time will tell.
The back of the crazy-quilted square pincushion. I love the fabric I used here.
And, here you can see when I made these things!
The back of the Needlebook. I really like that quote and had to add it to the back of the book.
LOVED making this.
That quote:
"Until the World be quite dissolved and past,
so long at least
the needles' art shall last."

Inside.
Look at those top two needles. They are so bent....after many hours of beading!
Here is the basket I used in the first photo with the sewn items. I have a selection of wire baskets. I'll post them sometime soon. I just lately found this one. The little hearts are so cute dangling there and well, it IS Heart Month, so I had to use it.
Adorable!!!
So, there you are....more hearts...evidence of Heartprints I am quite sure. I hope you enjoy seeing them.
REMINDER:
February's Two Monthly Giveaways will be announced in a post on Saturday, February 29, 2020.
until next time
BE WELL
