Hearts of America series

Hi all!  Went to visit my Dad on Father's Day and took this little heart with me to stitch on in the car. It's from the Victoria Sampler series Hearts of America, and is #19 for Indiana. 31 more states to go!  Eventually I want to make a quilt with the hearts. These little kits include everything you need and each one features a different specialty stitch, which is expanding my knowledge as I stitch!
Now on to the Chinese Garden Mandala, pt.2!!

  6. That's lovely. I like the colors in it a lot!! Can't wait to see your part 2. I'm denying myself Chinese Garden cause there are others I want more.

  7. That's a great idea! Cute design, too. You're lucky you can stitch in the car. I get a headache and get motion sick if I stitch or read, or even look down at a map for too long in the car. :(
