for valentines day for my cousin i'm making a heart shaped pillow. on white in hot pink thread, I embroidered their names. cut out the heart shape. out of the main fancy fab, I cut out a heart and gathered bridal illusion and stitched it down around the edges of the heart main fabric, then appliqued the name part. the back ground is about 12" across the appliqued name pc is about 4" across then over the edges of the appliqued pc with the name I put a beaded bridal trim over the seam. then there's a ruffle 5" in half with a lace ruffle over it. it comes out pretty and it's my own design. if I can get someone to post a pic, I will. next, i'm off to do more Christmas.
oh btw, I saw kits for the folded star ornament, you know the round one, kits were...$23, unbelievable!!!!! we must value our work.
