Quick Valentine Garland

February 7, 2009 By Spoonful of Sugar - 47 Comments

This Valentine’s garland is a quick and effective project! Simply punch out hearts in red and pink card stock, sew together and then use them to embellish a gift or drape them over an ornament or picture frame for some Valentine decor!

    Lisa,

    I love the little garland hearts. I especially love the little pouch that you made in the first picture. Very adorable. Ahhh – you guys are so talented.

Maybe it's just me, but I think every sewist has a Maybe it's just me, but I think every sewist has a piece of fabric they're a little afraid to cut into.

You know the one.

The fabric that's too pretty, too special, or waiting for the perfect project.

I've certainly been guilty of saving beautiful Liberty fabrics for "someday". But over the years I've realised something:

The joy isn't in owning the fabric.

The joy is in turning it into something you'll use, display, gift, or enjoy every day.

Some of my favourite sewing projects began with a Liberty fabric I was hesitant to cut into. Looking back, I've never regretted using it. The only fabrics I've regretted are the ones that sat folded away for years waiting for the perfect moment.

Beautiful fabric deserves to become something beautiful.
