Valentine Garland: découpaged fabric hearts!

Yes, I'm excited about this one. It's a charmer, if I do say so myself...




I was trying to come up with a Valentine craft activity for my son's school party and -ha- well, that didn't work out but look what I ended up with! I had a stash of découpaged fabric - mostly from Judie Rothermel's Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum collection - that I made a folk "penny" floor quilt with a few years ago. So I started cutting out hearts (to my heart's content) and they told me they wanted to be a garland. Whipped out the handy paper punch and a ball of yarn to string them and voilà! I have been meaning to make some fabric pennants for my son's room for a long time. I think this découpage idea takes it to a new level... Just think how much damage you could do with a die cutter... A garland for every holiday... Do letters and you have name banners and quotes hanging on the walls -- in F A B R I C !!! ... Hmmm...
