Hearts

In February since the boys have been born, I have created a heart quilt for them around Valentine's Day.  It is very small and I have had luck with finishing them.  Bonus!

This year I used created a crumb base to use under the knit heart that covered it.  I cut slits in the knit hearts.

Per Keegan's request, I created a heart for myself this year too.

Heart for husband Dale.

Heart for Keegan.  Keegan says his favorite color is purple.

Heart for Dillon.

I used knit with the intention that it would curl around the triple stitch lines within the heart to reveal the crumb mat underneath the knit.  It did not work.  I did show these hearts at show n tell at Yellowstone Valley Quilt Guild.  One of the ladies (MaryKay G.) came up to me after the meeting and told me that I had needed to cut the knit on the bias to get it to curl up.  It is so fun to keep learning!  Now I can do that next time.  I just haven't yet taken the time to make a new something  with knit.
