So what better month to make use of my red threads than February? <p> I employed the top half of my "Key to My Heart Sampler" pattern to stitch this first pinkeep pillow ~ perfect for Valentine's Day or any day! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ohwv4_rJTQA/TyXdBwbixDI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/I_rNAH_Nz3A/s1600/isabel%2Bamelia%2Bhart-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ohwv4_rJTQA/TyXdBwbixDI/AAAAAAAAAaQ/I_rNAH_Nz3A/s320/isabel%2Bamelia%2Bhart-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703207525384635442" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-br6tdOwZMHo/TyXc9eCFdcI/AAAAAAAAAaE/5H3RsXrDiUE/s1600/isabel%2Bamelia%2Bhart-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-br6tdOwZMHo/TyXc9eCFdcI/AAAAAAAAAaE/5H3RsXrDiUE/s320/isabel%2Bamelia%2Bhart-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703207451726542274" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wkzWK8n4gEE/TyXc2bizWSI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/Ie1mVPO4SlE/s1600/isabel%2Bamelia%2Bhart-3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wkzWK8n4gEE/TyXc2bizWSI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/Ie1mVPO4SlE/s320/isabel%2Bamelia%2Bhart-3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703207330799376674" border="0" /> </a></p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wkzWK8n4gEE/TyXc2bizWSI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/Ie1mVPO4SlE/s1600/isabel%2Bamelia%2Bhart-3.jpg"> </a>'Tis backed with a lovely red Civil War era reproduction calico and is stuffed with raw wool to keep your pins and needles in fine working order. 6.25"w x 4.5"h.
