Applique hearts

Without wishing to sound like a stuck record, I absolutely love hand sewing. I hand sewed my first quilt in my late teens/early twenties by the English Paper Piecing method.... as you can tell, the going out night clubbing phase seemed to pass me by! 20 'ahem' years later, I still love EPP, but I also 'now love' appliqué.....

A couple of weeks ago, blog reader extraordinaire Linda sent me some pictures of her new way to do hearts. Unfortunately I think I messed up her pictures when I downloaded them. Luckily, Mimi’s Bloomers Block 6 has hearts in it so I thought I would give it a try and WOW was that fun and EASY. Here’s how she did it: First, cut you template out. Then cut out a heart in your fabric of choice, making sure to leave a scant 1/4” seam allowance. Clip into the point at the top. Starting at the top…
