Hi everybun!!! Well here we go! Our new BOM 12 of Hearts starts today! Yippeeee!!! I'm so excited!!
You may remember that I said this was going to be a "handmade gift" year. Well, this BOM project is sweet and petite! It will be fast and fun so we can get a lot done! Ok...I'll quit with the rhyming. hee,hee,hee. Anyhooooooooooo, this project really is fun and I'm hoping that you will be inspired to make a couple for friends and family to give as gifts.
Every month on the 12th, (mark your calendars) we will have a new, whimsical heart design to stitch. The finished piece will be a 20" x 24" wall hanging, or you can make it into an accent pillow, or you can make the blocks into sachets, or pincushions, or you name it!
Even though I still loooooooooove my whites, I was fell in love with these colorful fabrics. I also have some friends that love color and I hold them very dear to my heart. So there ya have it, my inspiration for this design.
Hop over to my SHOP and collect your pattern and the instructions.
I also have the floss kits available (sold 5 already)
and the natural color linen is also available.
Next, on to the giveaway. Since this is going to be a handmade year, I decided that each month will be something to inspire creating or something handmade by me (for those friends that don't do crafty stuff).
So for our first giveaway, I chose this fantastic Tilda book! Tone Finnanger creates some of the most adorable and charming handmade things. Even if you already own this book, you should enter and if you win, you can gift it to someone that doesn't have it! Smart huh! Not like it's regifting if you won it! ;)
To enter this giveaway, just leave a comment on this post! As always, those that have signed up as a follower/friend (on the right) will get two chances! However, if you take my little "12 of Hearts" gal (cutie isn't she!) and put her on your blog with a link to me, you will get yet another chance! I will pick the winner for this giveaway on Sunday, January 16th. Be sure and let me know if you are a follower and if you posted my little gal.
Finally, I am also soooooooooooo excited to be a guest blogger today on
Sew We Quilt, aka, Stash Manicure! Hop over and check it out!!!
Whew!! What a long post! Thanks everybun for being so much fun! uh oh...there's that rhyming thing again...hee,hee,hee.

Adorable BOM - thank you for your generosity!
I love your BOM, just love the shapes of hearts, I'd love to be entered in the drawing, I'm a fan of tildas and I don't own any tilda book yet, hoping soon and crossing fingers..., I'm your new follower, and I'll put the cute girl in my blog tomorrow, promise, it's late here!!!
I'm limiting my BOMs this year - this is a winner and I must do. I have no Tilda, so this would be nice.
I added your cute little heart girl on my blog with a link back

I'm keeping an eye on this BOM and will be saving it. I'm trying really hard not to make a new start, but this one will be hard to pass up.

This is the first time I've visited your blog but not the last. It was recommended on one of the Yahoo redwork groups I belong to. Hearts to embroider and a year of handmade gifts along with a free book full of ideas. It sounds wonderful. Thank you for your generosity and here's hoping I win the book. :-)
Your block is so cute. I'm a follower and I put your cute little girl on my blog.
Your first block of the month is just charming - I love the scrollwork! I also like how small they are so I at least have a hope of finishing and not adding to my "undone" pile!
Have fun guestposting shell - I'll be sure to hop over right away...
i adore anything TILDA, I dont own any of her books, and would just simple adore to have one. Thank you FOr posting this, thank you for always having wonderful reads and patterns and ideas, aka Kingcooper0001@aol.com
What a swet heart design this month. I will be looking for all of them, for sure. Would love to win that book. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Yesterday I received the thread I ordered for the 12 months of hearts - what a pleasant surprise! A beautifully wrapped gift! Alas, the chocolate had a short life, and I am enjoying the tea. Thank you so much - it was a sad day in Arizona yesterday, but you put a little sparkle into the day.
I'm sorry - I didn't mean to be anonymous - Lin Maine
Oh sign me up and I am now a new follower!! Would love a chance to win the book...
