Hugs and Kisses

Even though Valentine's Day came about as a commercial attempt to capitalize on love, I embrace it. It's a tangible way to remind your loved ones that they matter to you.  Hopefully, none of us take our sweethearts for granted, but it never hurts to say it out loud. 

Here are just a few of the pieces I've stitched for my husband over the years for Valentine's Day or anniversaries.



I continue to work on Margret Gatis. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm picking up speed.  Satin stitch will be the norm for a while, but at least it's over two threads and the pattern is fairly straightforward.
