'Tis the Season...
..of love. Just don't get me an Open Heart necklace. Don't know why, I just don't like them. You may say the same for the new heart coasters. I made the top one first, and after it was embroidered out, I decided the swirl looked a wee bit like an "O", so I digitized an "L", "V" and "E". I am not quite sure what style this is...Aztec? Art Deco? Cave Man? You can't see the lettering clearly in the picture, but in person it sparkles a bit - I used silver thread. The interesting thing about these coasters is that the scalloped edge is stitched with a straight stitch through both the red and black Woolfelt. Then I cut on the lines (memories of paper doll days!), and then trim the top red layer close to the inner heart stitching. I used the Bernina V6 software, of course. I have been sewing lots, getting patterns ready for the spring market. I will show you just as soon as I can. Jerilynn
