CQJP 2016 February Block Motif 1

Here it is April, and I am finally working on my February block for the Crazy Quilt Journal Project (CQJP) 2016.

 That being said, I actually managed to stitch this in March. With it being a February block, a heart seemed fitting. 

 The heart was traced from a quilting template and stem-stitched with red size 8 Anchor pearl cotton. I sketched our initials within the heart and stem-stitched them with black size 8 Anchor pearl cotton.

 It looks a bit plain now, but my plans for the seams nearby should dress up some of the white seen here.

 If time allows, I hope to complete this block within the next week.

 Thank you so much for stopping by!
Renee

    Such a sweet heart - and even better that it's personalized.

    The heart is pretty and it looks like it is made for my husband and me. You used our initials on it.

    Such a simple but pretty little motif. Brings back childhood doodling memories, lol.

    Lovely heart - reminds me of a tree carving. =) I know it will be the center of a beautiful area. Good luck with getting it all done this week. It IS possible! I have one more seam to go on my March block, which I just started a week ago. I have to get stitching on the April post card so I can make the April block! You're going to catch up soon. =)
