Hearts For Teresa





My blogging friend, Teresa, has a serious addiction to red hearts.

I planned to make her one for Christmas, but, you know how that goes. I made it last night based off a pin on one of my pinterest boards.


I dragged out a box of wool stash (clothing and yardage) and found the red and the blue (from a plaid) I was looking for. Nabbed my embroidery floss and a super awesome needle and settled into watching episode 4 of Downton Abbey. This heart took about 20 minutes more than the episode.


I actually had to grab a youtube video to recall how to start the blanket stitch - and how long has it been since I've made french knots?

    Why is it so hard to remember how to start the blanket stitch? I always have false starts until it finally clicks.

    Nice handwork! I also have to practice the blanket stitch until it has the right rhythm.

I love comments. My heart goes pitter-patter every time there is a new one.
