My Original Two Patriotic Hearts

Above left: Patriotic Heart

The heart is about 4.5" wide and tall on an 8" square of white congress cloth. The threads are either Kreinik braid or Fyreworks with Kreinik braid; they include Impressions and some white pearl cotton. The stitches are all needlepoint composites and a bit of pulled thread.

The instructions are 18 pages long plus a title page and a color copy of my heart. The supplies do not include finishing materials or finishing instructions.

Some years later I made Peace Heart at my friend's request. The supplies are essentially the same as Patriotic Heart.

The instructions are 10 pages long plus a title page and a color copy of my heart. The supplies do not include finishing materials or finishing instructions.

I'm not a good seamstress and I send my hearts to a good professional finisher.

The instructions are 14 pages long plus a title page and a photo of my finished heart. The kit does not include finishing supplies or instructions. I send my hearts to a finisher.
