Heartfelt Creations Inspiration Wednesday

Reminisce of days gone by when laughter filled quilting bees were a treasured outing filled with chatter, decadent dainties and a great sense of accomplishment at the end of the day! Little girls admiring beautiful hand-stitched quilts coming together under the direction of the hands of skillful seamstresses, as they imagine the day that they too will learn the secrets of perfect stitching and delicate embroidery. Let your mind wander back the days when pretty hand-stitched blankets lined Grandma’s clothes line, flapping in the breeze as daisies danced gently in the background! Join us as we remember simpler times with the old fashioned Patchwork Daisy Collection! Immerse yourself in designer papers filled with soft and gentle hues reminiscent of purple lavender filled fields, warm sunshine yellows, clear sky blues, and beautiful wildflower pinks. Feel the gentle warmth of a hand stitched quilt as you are embraced by dainty illustrations of tranquil florals, decorative patterns and delicate patchwork panels similar to those on Grandma’s finest coverlet! A wonderful array of beautifully detailed cling stamps, along with coordinating dies provide endless “embroidered and quilted” embellishments to adorn all of your handcrafted projects…from dainty daisy florals delicately illustrated, appearing to have been cut from decorative quilt blocks and then hand-stitched, to a wonderful assortment of graceful eyelet trim borders perfectly designed for “finishing” your handcrafted projects! The perfect assembling of decorative papers, clings stamps and coordinating dies to blend with the previously released Buttons and Blooms Collection! So, gather your crafty friends around the kitchen table…it’s time to laugh, snack, reminisce, and show off your creative handiwork! 


Heartfelt Creations is releasing another new collection called Patchwork Daisy. Beautiful florals and gorgeous papers. There is a beautiful stitched background stamp and I discovered that the Eyelet Oval die fits perfectly over it. Below you will find all the instructions on how I made this card.

Hello friends. This card reminds me of a flower garden quilt I made many years ago. Each piece was stitched together by hand. It was quite the project and I was so glad when it was finished! But oh, it was so pretty!

You will find these hexagons (both the stamp and die set) in the Buttons and Blooms collection at Heartfelt Creations. Below you will find all the details to make this card.
