Not everyone got their posts into the first Valentine’s Day Lifestyles channel round-up - so here’s the complete one :-) Happy reading!
In celebration of the upcoming holiday, the b5media Lifestyles Channel participated in their own little carnival, hearts and flowers, hugs and kisses…
Because of nasty weather and the horrible flu bug going around and […]
You all know that I love making fabric gift bags for Christmas - but they’re great wrapping almost any kind of present. Fabric gift bags are a great way of using fabric that you love, bought and aren’t quite sure how to use up… I’m not sure if I want to wear a shirt […]
I wanted to make sure my cross-stitch readers had some fun projects for Valentine’s Day too!
About.com has this charming pattern available:
ABC Cross-Stitch has this lovely little rose pattern:
I love this heart from FindStitch:
Happy stitching everyone :-)

If you need to catch up on this project, here’s part one and part two :-)
I’ve been making candy sweethearts out of felt - hey, they’re calorie free that way! To finish the project, lay the heart on a sheet of the same colored felt, but don’t cut it out quite yet. Using a straight […]
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 […]
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 showed you how I made the softies hearts yesterday - would you like to see how they turned out?
They also look really neat with the hanging loops interlocked together, like this:
Of course, now I want to make more and embroider them! Too many projects, not enough time…

I thought it would be fun to do a machine-sewn project for Valentine’s day, but didn’t feel like making anything too cutesy. The solution? Off-kilter, wobbly hearts!
To start off with you’ll need a selection of fabric (I’m using printed 100% cotton quilting fabric) scissors, thread, fiber-fill and a hand-sewing needle.
Because I don’t want the hearts […]
I showed what you can do with a simple running stitch earlier, but you can also use french knots to make the Valentine’s day cards as well:
It’s definitely more time consuming, but I like the look of the little decorative knots around each layer of felt.
