Circles cut from linen and denim. Then heavily starched with spray starch and ironed within an inch of their lives. This made them nice and stiff.
Then they were stitched together using the same technique Maya used for her hanging snowflakes.

Valentine Favorites, originally uploaded by smoothpebble.
I almost let my favorite holiday get past me. I borrowed some flickr favorites to wish everyone a Happy Love Day! May LOVE find it’s way to you!
I'm a human being, sometimes fumbling through life, but more often amazed by the great glorious adventure that it is. If you want labels - I'm a stay at home mom, a tree hugger, a tightwad, a wife, a nerd, a jogger, a bookworm, a creative soul, a pretty good cook, a beloved child of God, an avid hobby photographer, a person who likes to dip her toes into all that life has to offer.

Thanks for visiting me, I always love to hear from you! You can also email me at b(dot)jackie79(at)yahoo(dot)com
