Heart for Juliette

Now that I have finished my work in all Round Robins, I am off seriously on my UFOs and other half-finished commitments. And the first of them is a Heart for Juliette, on the Chains of Hearts list at Yahoo.

I have owed one to Juliette for ages, and she has been most patient while life has taken over around me, and I then lost the half-finished Heart. (Hearts are wonderful - they are so small you can take them anywhere to work on them. Trouble is - it also means they are easy to "file" with something else in an out-of-control stash!). However..... I have now given up, and tried to repiece the Heart as much as possible to the one I was making. Took forever to find the Chicory Fairy fabric again, but I did. (Know I promised a fairy to someone else, when I found this fabric. I think it was Janet, so I will ask her, but if it was someone else, feel free to drop me a line).

So now I have the basic, pieced Heart. Almost. It looks like this:

So now I will move my window template (fancy name for a bit of cardboard with a Heart cut out of it), until it tell me exactly how it wants to be.

Then I embellish it, and send it off halfway around the world to Juliette, in England, for her to put on the backing, or mount it however she wishes.

So the Fan Block will have a rest for a little while, while I finish this one off.

Then it is Fan Block, Peacock Wall Hanging, Dragonfly Wall Hanging - and that is as far ahead as I am going to look at the minute. Except there are a couple of other pieced Hearts waiting to be embellished in my folder. But I am not agreeing to swap any more until I know I have one ready to send back.
