Sorry for the delay in getting this published :-) Here’s how I made sweethearts out of felt - not candy!
I asked you to get some candy-colored felt, along with a heart-shaped cookie cutter (or other heart-shaped template) in my last post.
Use the cookie cutter as a template and trace around it - using a water-soluble […]
My mom just tagged me (when I wasn’t looking - how unfair!) with a meme. Here are the rules: You need to share 7 things about yourself that people don’t know, and then tag 7 more people do do the meme.
Here are my seven facts:
I have a hard time starting my morning without a […]
The talented crew at Sublime Stitching have just added another product to their catalog:
Clean, unfussy hoop frames.
They’re perfect for displaying embroidery without extra loops or hangers showing at the top. I think they’d even work for displaying pieces of your favorite fabrics as well.
If you haven’t had a chance to read the Sublime Stitching blog […]
I was grocery shopping recently and saw a display with these:
Necco candy Sweethearts (image source) I’ve never liked the taste of them, but they looked so charming that I got inspired!
I’ll post the full tutorial tomorrow, but for now you’ll need felt in some appropriately candy-colored shades and a heart cookie cutter (along with your […]

I’m a very lucky person - I just got to bring her home :-) The tapestry was hand-embroidered by my very talented mom and I finally got to bring it to my house! Lady Godiva is approximately a yard square and densely hand-embroidered, a full year’s worth of handwork. No machine stitching, but lots of […]

I’ve had some reader requests to explain how to make the “baseball stitch” used in the heart softies tutorial. It’s an easy & fast stitch for making a flat, almost invisible closure. It’s great for 3D projects like stuffed animals.
For the sake of clarity, I’m going to be using left & right to designate which […]
I showed you how I made the softies hearts yesterday - would you like to see how they turned out?

Of course, now I want to make more and embroider them! Too many projects, not enough time…
