I was asked to make some hearts to decorate a tree for an upcoming festival.  

The hearts were made using yarn I had from previous projects.  I made two sides, joined them together and filled them with filling.  I used my appliqués, some crocheted flowers and some bought butterflies, flowers, stars and hearts to decorate them.

 

I used the Raccoon pattern and small flowers to decorate a red heart.

My magpie pattern was used with small flowers and a small wooden butterfly on a yellow heart.
