Woven hearts Beat



Here are a few photos of my woven heart valentine I made for my PAC valentine. I cut 3/8" strips of fabric, than wove them together. I then laid them on a piece of iron-on interfacing and pressed. Then I put a piece of lt wt batting underneath and machine quilted at a diagonal. I cut out a heart shape and satin stitched the edges. Backed with a gold dollie and glued on to a red card. It was really fun to make and I hope my valentines like them! May our woven heARTs beat together for a long time.

I like these! I have been weaving paper for a while and actually did a heart this past year. I think using the pins is a great idea and would make it easier. Paper is a lot more stiff and harder to weave as it does not bend as readily. Thanks for the future tip to making this process easier! Lenall
