Beaded Wool Felt Hearts

Day #39
Hearts #54-56

Here are a few more heart pins that I sell in a local store.

If the colors look familiar, it's because I posted a set of hearts I made for a special order in these same colors earlier this week.

Here's the thing:  there was a bit of a communication problem, and the customer actually wanted these small wool felt hearts, not the larger fabric heart pins I made for her!

She called me yesterday to say that the pins I had delivered to the store for her were not the right ones, and would I be able to make the felt pins before Valentine's Day?

Of course I said "yes" and went straight to work!  I finished these this morning and took them to the store.

All's well that ends well!

Special Order Hearts

Day #37
Hearts #46-52

Last week I received a special order that coincides very nicely with my 365 hearts objective!  A customer of the local store where I sell my work wanted some of my heart pins in three particular colors:  purple, olive and teal.  She already has several of these pins in other colors, and she wanted one more for herself and several to give to friends for Valentine's Day. 

These hearts are about 3" tall, and have a coiless pin on the back  After tying the ribbon in a bow, I put a dab of glue underneith to keep it from coming undone while being worn.  Here's what I made:

Purple

Olive

Teal

This one is my favorite, because I love purple, and this Japanese fabric is especially lovely.  All the other hearts were made with a combination of fabrics on the front, but this one is a single fabric.

My customer only needs two purple, one teal and one olive, but I made extras so she would have a little bit of a choice.
