......Here we go the Heart i made that went wrong....lol...any ideas why. The first picture is of the template with my Granddaughters thumb print on!!! And the second is the heart...oh god i dont believe im showing you all this....
Anyone got a better template he-he xx
The heart thing is tough to do for me too. I like the way this looks.
ReplyDeleteBet Heloise has a template, she makes the most beautiful hearts....heloise-jewellery.blogspot.com xox Corrine
Yap, sticking two fingers up!LOL A least they look very pretty!
ReplyDeletelol!!! you may not have got the heart quite right, but that is a peace sign plain and simple! :)
ReplyDeleteYep thats what i thought sticking my two fingers UP....lol....I forgot to say that it is my first patchwork tho!! x
ReplyDeletehey jennie you could turn it into a little rabbit ......hearts are tricky maybe theres too much stuffing in it or perhaps if you'd added some extra for the seams ....great patchwork tho.......x
ReplyDeleteHey Jennie.... A++ for effort... I especially like the fabric that is center/right... the first crazy quilt I tried was a heart too, you can check it out here http://acherishedlife.blogspot.com/2009/01/what-fabrics-to-choose-what-threads_24.html if you want me to send you a heart template, let me know. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHey jennie i think you did a great job and i love the pretty fabrics ! thanks also for stopping by my blog and offering me your support, i am feeling a little sore today i had a root canal and i am such a baby when i go to the dentist ! my house feels so empty but i am straight and i am hoping to start my crafting again this week ! x
ReplyDeleteHi Jen, good on you for going with the heart shape. It's not my most favourite of things, but I suppose as always, I'll comment. I really do love the fabrics, etc. Perhaps you might make a better template if it's fashioned like me..........a little shorter top to bottom and a little rounder side to side............, think Danni DeVito................
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I love the fabrics but I think the heart needs to be more voluptuous. As Linda says or like a Rubens painting. Plump and chunky. I think you have made a good start: thanks for sharing with us. I know you asked about batting or padding on my needlebook. Sorry I have taken so long to reply. I use batting if I am doing a book cover or something like that. If I was making a heart I think I would stitch straight onto calico and then fill the whole thing with polyester.
ReplyDeleteI think it's cute.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennie - never mind the heart turning out a bit wrong - who really cares - it's the one inside you that we love - the one that is brave enough to put it on their blog! Lorna has a good suggestion of turning it into a little rabbit! Another idea is making the heart points quite pointy and shortening the bottom! - Just a thought! We love it anyway! Thanks so much for your beautiful comment on my fabric journal pages.

Yeah, Jennie, I can see a cute rabbit with this. It must have been very tricky to turn (and fiddly), so I think you did a fine job of it really. Regards Dianne.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you Jen ... just thinking about you xx
