I've started a new quilt....as if I need a another new project! I'm making Candy Hearts...you remember those little candy hearts in a box? They were one of my favorite candies when I was a little girl. Want to know more about candy hearts...CLICK HERE.
So I'm making hearts. I knew I wanted them similar to these colors. So went digging around in my fabrics and pulled out some colors I liked. But what fabric to put them on. I recently purchased 3 yards of what I call red gingham. Not sure if that's what it is, but I like it!
I've went on line and googled candy hearts...got some of the sayings on them. I'll be embroidering the sayings onto my hearts. These are 8 1/2" blocks. The rows will have a sashing between them...not sure what color...I'll have to think about that one. I've got 2 of the hearts sewed down.
I've also been working on my String Blocks. I've got enough to put 3 rows together.
That's it for today...I'm linking up with....
Have an AWESOME stitching Sunday!
