How to make the little love heart shaped pillow
Would you like to know how to make this pretty heart shaped pillow? If so you have come to the right place, I do hope you enjoy following the finishing tutorial.
Gather your supplies and lets get started!
Materials required
Red and white craft felt
DMC red and white thread
DMC green thread
Red ribbon for trim
Silver 'made with love' tag or any charm
Polyester filling
Cut out a 12cm square piece of red felt
Design your heart shape using paper first.
This heart measures 11cm from the base of the heart to the curve at the top, it does not matter what size your heart is as long as you can fit the word ' love' and the other hearts onto the felt.
Cut two large red hearts
Cut one white heart slightly smaller than the large red one
Cut one small red heart
Use two strands of thread for all of the stitching.
Stitch the little red heart to the white heart using blanket stitch
Now stitch the white heart to the red heart using blanket stitch
Stitch 'LOVE' in outline stitch
you can find a video here on the Needle N Thread blog.
I must admit I did not do mine exactly like the video shows but the
video shows the correct way to do it!
Now it is time to do the spider web roses, you can see how to
make these in my little round pincushion tutorial here
Stitch the leaves in green thread using lazy daisy stitch
Faby Reilly has a good tutorial on her blog here for the lazy daisy stitch.
The front piece of your heart should now look like this
Stitch the front heart to the remaining red heart shape piece for the back using blanket stitch
Leave a gap for stuffing the pillow
Continue stitching the blanket stitch until the heart is closed.
Your heart is nearly complete, you are now ready to trim with red ribbon and attach your charm.
Or you could always trim with matching cord made from DMC thread.
You can see a finishing tutorial showing
Your heart is now finished.
Here is the same set in a different colour for Mother's Day.

Happiness is cross stitching.

Hi Lynn B,
I love your tutorials and will write about your site. I hope you don't mind my pasting the photo of your Mother's Day project in my article.
I am not sure how I came across your blog but I have to say how happy I am to have done so. Your blog tutorials are amazing :) I would like to have the freebie pattern, I am going to a stitching GTG in Febuaray and this would be the perfect exchnage piece.
