Redwork Hearts

The stitchery bug has bitten again. I am really enjoying working on Alex Anderson’s red work hearts. There are 12 hearts in all.

I have finished 4 hearts to date by just putting in a few stitches here and there.

The designs are originally for a 6.5″ block. I thought that size seemed a little small so I enlarged the designs to fit an 8.5″ block.
I have plans to put these together into a wall hanging in time for Valentine’s Day 2011.
In the meantime, it is fun to work on a Valentine themed project in the month of February.
…only 8 more hearts to go!
