A great selection of hearts ... thirty of them! Great effort.
Heartfelt thanks to Pauline.
Two heart shapes sewn together, stuffed or not, embellished, embroidered, CQ'd,quilted, plain or fancy, anything goes. Add a loop for hanging. Choose your size. For ease of posting, envelope size is a good measurment. You can send them flat just add a note 'To be stuffed'. Sign (or not), add a message and where the hearts are from. This is a small measure of something nice to give in this terrible time.

We have been ....
.... on an outing.
I was invited to be a speaker at the Hawkes Bay Embroiderer's Guild. I didn't want to go alone, so I took a thousand hearts with me. They were much admired and while there I collected two more gorgeous hearts....here they are.

Candid Camera
The hearts needed shifting about in the spare room so I grabbed the camera. They are in no particular order, haven't been 'positioned', there are front and back views and some to the side. Though they look a little crammed they aren't like that all the time but it helped me move about the room! Not shown are the four boxes full of flat hearts.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Stitching Group....
....@ Gone Rustic Studio & Gallery, Tasmania, Australia.
Thank you to all the stitchers for 18 hearts. In case you count, there is one missing! I found it inside the bag of stuffing after taking the photo!! Must have been trying to stuff itself.
(I am a little slow but this line is written in September ... these are made by Rustic Ragmuffins. Love the name)!

London....
A beautiful, lovely smelling heart from Heidi in London. Heidi and her daughter Rachel have a long (25yr) connection with New Zealand. They attended the Memorial Service at Westminster Abbey and say it was very moving.
Many thanks for this token of your caring.

Technology glitch....
....maybe?
I am trying to add comments and photos to the blog but Blogger must be having a little hissy fit because I officially don't exist anymore!
I will keep trying!
