New project - Letters Heart


I saw this design on a few blogs last year and really liked it. I eventually found the pattern and downloaded it. Then at Christmas I received a DMC linen floss kit and lo and behold the color pattern was in there.
I should have the project completely finished by the end of this week-end.
DMC 3712 two strands over 1 on 14 count Aida. It's approx 5"x51/2" though the finished piece will be larger.

Addendum - Some have asked so here's the only link I know about to download the pattern http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/better-homes-gardens/article/-/5827923/christmas-cross-stitch/ (The Linen DMC kit was bought at Michaels.)

    Hi Carol,

    I just stumbled across your blog. What a lovely blog!! Do you know who had designed that heart sampler?

    I would love to add your blog to my blogroll, is that okay?

    DMC originally designed the heart sampler.

    Oh your Alphabet heart is just lovely! Perfect for Valentine's day!! Thanks for showing us where to find the pattern. I noticed you were working on Cirque Des Carreaux. I have this pattern kitted up and calling to me from my stash. I fell in love with that pattern, it might have to be next on my start list...if only I could finish the Camelot Sampler *sigh* *Hugs*

    DJ is working on the Camelot Sampler. I am totally impressed.

    The Heart Sampler has taken on a life of it's own and has now morphed into a wall hanging !!!
