All Heart

This was my gift to Tessa for the SBEBB Valentine Exchange. I used 36 linen and a Watercolours fibre from Caron plus some hand-dyed ribbon from Gloriana. The heart is my own design with some inspiration from Victoria Sampler :0
When I made the fob I was a little alarmed at how very over-the-top and 'floral' it seemed but I grew to like it more and more. Tessa seemed to like it too, at least I hope she wasn't just being kind! She emailed to say she will be putting the fob on a set of antique keys that stay on her dresser.

Oh my, Ash, this is a real beauty! Congratulations!
Oh Ash,
What a beautyful heart!
I love the combination of the thread and the ribbon!
Ashleigh, your exchange piece is stunning - I love the colours, and that ribbon is so scrummy :) Very very pretty overall :))
It's fobulous, Ash! ROFL. Sorry, I just couldn't resist being punny. Hahahahah. ;) Seriously, though, you do beautiful work!
Soooo very pretty, Ashleigh!! Your adaptation is divine :)))
My very favorite colors. The ribbon around the outside is sooo... How did you do it? Really darling.
It's very feminine and lovely and will look perfect with a set of antique keys!
Hey Ash
Your photos are just lovely and yes, I really do LOVE my fob. It is very pretty and feminine, exactly what I like.
Thanks again x
It's very pretty Ashleigh. You take the nicest photos when you've completed stitched projects.
Ashleigh,
Eventhough you aren't blogging now, I'm checking to see if you are still receiving email notification of comments. I love your blog & your writing style and miss reading you, but certainly understand your decision. I have a question about your All Heart scissor fob if you receive this email. Thanks, Barbie
Beautiful work, Ashleigh! Nice job!
