I decided to take the advise of Barbel & get ready for my machine to come home & make this heart block. My plan is to make a wall hanging of some sort for Valentines Day & this is the first stage & now that my machine will be back home today I am thrilled to bits & so ready to embroider something anything at all lol

Well done...Happy for you!!!!Beautiful

Papers for that foundation Piecing from that Patchwork Place it works really well so far? Thanks Loosie, it is pretty easy if you mark the colours on your paper first so you know which is which. ~hugs~

One thing you can tell is that a sewing or embroidery machine is not foreign to you. You always do such great work
