Work!
My work is making HeartString quilts so I decided to make a string block and add some hearts.
My first postcard was a reject so I had to redo it. Can you guess which is the good one?
I also used my pinking shears for the edges rather than doing the zigzag. First I stitched around the card with my quarter inch foot (making sure not to sew into the corners) and then pinked the edge. I had a problem with the first card because my hearts were too close to the edge and I didn't get a nice straight line for my edge stitch because my foot kept bumping into the heart brads.
