In my Heart
The pattern explores two ways to finish the white part of the heart pattern. It includes beads, half stitches or any other way you'd like to fill the white section of this blooming heart! The pattern also suggests two ways to finish the project once the cross stitching is completed: as a quilt block or as an ornament. The choice is yours, or you can make more than one, and finish each as your heart desires!
