My husband and I celebrate our wedding anniversary this month. We didn’t get married on the 14th and so we don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day, instead we celebrate later, the date that is special to us. The joke around here is that we can buy flowers and chocolates for each other on clearance!
I’m not a cutesy heart kind of person usually, but still I found several hearts in my work so I’m sharing some of them here.
The little ring around the neck on the altered jar below, was a piece of tatting one of my grandmothers made. This was a gift for my cousin who loves hearts.
I recently finished Three (grungy) Hearts below, but I’m still going to mount it onto a painted canvas for hanging. It’s just a little larger than a 8″ x 10″ canvas.
If you like to color or know someone who does the below hearts “frame” can be printed out. Go to my website menu, click on “Pattern freebies” and find the PDF link. The designs would be fun to embroider too!
I make and sell MeAnndered fabric panels that can be finished in many ways. They are MeAnndered first on paper, then I laser print them on fabric.
Sometimes I print them on painted fabric…
Now the giveaway/sweepstakes…
These five little fabric hearts, all the same design, were the examples for some of the ways the fabric panel pieces (above) could be finished. After using them in a sales booth display I cut them apart and satin stitched around them. I’m sure there are many ways these little hearts could be used but I’ll leave that up to the one who ends up with them. See all three images below and the rules for entering.

Hi we also celebrate our anniversary this month. It’s our 51st!!!
For not being a “heart person”, you certainly have made a wide range of art with hearts, Ann! It was particularly interesting to see the various finishing techniques used on the giveaway hearts from a single image. Thanks for sharing your work with a lucky reader!
Such a beautiful range of heart expressions! I love how diversified your approaches are, Ann.
Sigh me up please! Those would make me very happy:)
You are entered!
Wow, longer than us at 43 years. Congratulations!
Thank you! You are entered.
I appreciate your kind comment, Sylvia. I’m unsure – would you like to be entered in this giveaway? Thanks.
Please enter me in the drawing. I enjoyed all the different techniques especially the quilled fabric heart.
Thank you, Chris, you’re entered!
OH, My granddaughter loves patches. I would like to enter the drawing for the hearts.
Thank you for sharing, Ann.
Thank you, Karen, you’re entered!
You’ve won my heart with all your treatments in such a broad range of materials. Dare I ask what you did to alter the jar?
Thank you, Joanna. I’m going to reply in an email and if anyone else is interested they can let me know. I love altering bottles and jars!
