Heart wall hanging

I made this wall hanging from the pattern here

I was looking for a pattern suitable to celebrate a wedding for a close friend 

I altered the pattern a bit using hand appliqué turning over and quilting inside the hearts.

Hand appliquéd hearts

Quilting in the ditch and then made lines around the borders at 5/8 inch distances

Keeping the lines centred in the hearts made it just that bit better

Had this little sheep button which I lived to use

Quilt and appliqué wall hanging for daughters new flat

I wanted to make a housewarming gift for my daughter for her first own home.

Found this idea online and sized it down to a wall hanging.

I actually machine quilted it on my own machine! 

First I created the background patchwork  I used earthy colours at ground level then green, pinkish followed by blue.

Then I used fuisible webbing and cut out the heart flowers, placed them in a pleasing design. Stitched around each heart with an embroidery stich and then in green stitched the flower stalks finishing them at different places in the brown soil!

I then added the borders, a red and a flower border.

I then quilted in the ditch in the patchwork avoiding the flowers. 

Quilted straight lines in the red border and a on the bias crossed quilt in the flower border. Before using tartan binding  to finish and two broad loops for hanging.
