A beautiful sentiment to remind someone that you cherish their friendship. It would make a great center piece for a small kitchen table or could be displayed on a shelf with other vintage items. It's just a small way to show some you care.

My mom hand stitched this project on hand dyed fabric. She also used hand dyed embroidery thread as well as DMC six strand embroidery floss for the blooming heart. She used three adorable heart buttons from Another Button Company to accent the love that went into this project. She then gave me the project to finish.

I centered the project on a styrofoam cube and pinned the project in place with dressmaker needles. I used some plain maroon colored cloth for the backing. I used maroon gingham cloth, that matched the design, for the backing with a dark green ribbon as a side band. I created a maroon organza ribbon bow with a gingham knot that was pinned into place. I also added a pearl topped pin that is holding a silver heart charm in place. The silver heart charm says Made with Love and can be changed out. Finally, the legs were from wooden beads and white beads on a dressmaker pin that were then pushed into the styrofoam. The legs may need to be adjusted to get the cube to stand freely as needed.
