August's RSC color was teal/aqua/turquoise...or any of those colors that aren't quite green or quite blue.
It's a pretty color to me, and I think I need to work it into more of my projects.
I was fresh out of ideas with this project, so I piled my scraps and just started sewing them into strips, trimming each to 2.5".
Sewing like this is so freeing, isn't it?
Just put the pedal to the metal.
The strips were randomly dispersed and laid out next to each other like
friends on the beach.
I miss the beach!
Narrow line stitching was the quilt "design" to give it a modern look.
No measuring, but using the width of the foot to keep me fairly accurate.
I used this lonely spool of Mettler thread I've had forever. It stitched like a dream!
I then gathered the rest of my scraps and stitched together to make more hearts.
I love making these and adding pretty accents with lace, beads or buttons.
So far, I've put out at least 30 of these hearts into the "wild".
Whoever finds one is meant to keep it and hopefully, they will report it on the website.
Only 2 of mine that have been found have been reported.
That's OK. As long as it warms someone's heart and reminds the finder that there is love in this world....and kindness to share.
*my hearts will always have a bit of purple on them!
