Heart Project Update

Today is the last day of February, time to report on my heart project.

I did not stitch just one heart per day….nearly fifty are on this piece now.  One stage of the process is complete now…the appliqué.  Well, it’s complete until I decide to add something.

I do plan to add some buttons and to quilt it at some point.  But for now, it’s a linen tablecloth with some hearts appliquéd on it.

I did stitch a heart on the backside of the ragged spot and stitched around it on the front.  It may be left this way.  Or not.

I’ve been asked about the size of the piece.  It is now……33″ x 47”.  The original tablecloth measured 33” x 84”, a runner for a French farmhouse.  I removed one end and reattached it to make it a size that works for me.

I will let this project incubate for a while as I work on other projects. At some point, it will be quilted. I enjoyed the stitching on linen so much that I may decide to hand quilt this one. Time will tell.
