Heartfelt Quilt & Stitch Along - Release 4: Sweetheart Block


I'll chat about quilting first ...so if you are only a cross stitcher - just scroll a bit for the stitching information. 

It is time for the fourth release for the Heartfelt Quilt and Stitch Along!!! We are making five of the Darling Blocks. 

 OVER $80,000 has already been raised for Make-A-Wish, which is amazing!  Fat Quarter Shop has released a bonus Heartfelt Table Runner AND Quilt pattern to celebrate (here) !!!!



As I'm making my Heartfelt Quilt with One Fine Day fabric, I was able to mix and match fabrics until I found my favorite combos! I'm totally smitten with this fabric! 

Look how sweet the block looks on my Daisy Bee's Knees Bookstand. I love how it is metal so I can use magnets to hold my block!



Again this month - I save the trimmed off triangles from the bottom of the heart shape and sewed them together. I trimmed my bonus half-square triangles to 2.5" unfinished squares using my Bloc-loc ruler and the Kimberly Cuts rotating mat. Be sure to save your scraps!

It is time for the 9th Annual Charity Quilt with Fat Quarter Shop! The way the fundraiser works is that Fat Quarter Shop offers the Heartfelt patterns as FREE downloads during the event for a suggested donation of $5 each to our Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas campaign. Or feel free to make a larger, one-time donation of $50. No amount is too small and every bit counts. From February to September, we will publish a new pattern here on the blog on the 1st Friday of each month.

It is time for the fourth release for the Heartfelt Stitch Along!!! I was excited to stitch the sweet hearts plus stars! I began stitching with my color conversion to the Classic Colorworks Floss, but then decided to change it a bit as I wanted more color (less gray) in my stitching compared to the model. So I'm just choosing my colors per motif, but using the same Classic Colorworks flosses as I list below under supplies.

Of course you can choose your own fabric and floss to make your Heartfelt Cross Stitch yours! I want mine to coordinate with my quilt so I'm using a different fabric and floss.
