This is a time when we need a bit of hand holding, a little encouragement and a big dose of color.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\">So for this weeks FreeSpirit Friday we are featuring my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/store.php?cat=14\">Simple Silhouette-Folk Art-Bleeding Heart pattern<\/a>. This series of 18\u201d quilts was designed to showcase your favorite fancy fabrics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\">Our first heart is made with my latest FreeSpirit collection, Folk Tales. The border fabric is called Flowered Coverlet and the background is Indispensable Dots. The solid black silhouette and red heart are FreeSpirit\u2019s Designer Essentials Solids. We used my 12 wt. Sew Sassy threads for quilting (matching 50 wt in the Bobbin). It really adds a zip of electricity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Early-Bird-Heart-Web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2878\" src=\"http:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Early-Bird-Heart-Web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"637\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Early-Bird-Heart-Web.jpg 637w, https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Early-Bird-Heart-Web-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Early-Bird-Heart-Web-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 637px) 100vw, 637px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The next hearts are made from vintage Sassaman fabrics, some of which you may have buried in your stash, too. This one is made with an Early Bird border and again 12wt thread for the quilting. This piece has a nice flowery traditional look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hot-House-Heart-Web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2879\" src=\"http:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hot-House-Heart-Web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"622\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hot-House-Heart-Web.jpg 622w, https:\/\/www.janesassaman.com\/weblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Hot-House-Heart-Web-292x300.jpg 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Finally, we have a heart stitched from the Hot House Garden collection.

It is definitely a nod to Mexican folk art, which I love. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There is still plenty of time to whip one of these little gems for your Valentine, so sort through your stash and get stitch\u2019n!!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is just a few weeks before St. Valentines Day.
