Bright with a capital B


I like doing hearts and what better time of year to use this imagery? I'm happy with how bright this piece turned out. It still needs some more stitching (but not too much) and some hand stitched accents (but not too many) - if you click on the photo to enlarge it you will see the machine and hand stitching already added.
It reminds me of spring and rebirth. Maybe I'll call it 'After the Thaw'!
I'm going to gift this to a great internet friend who helped edit the article that will be published in that national magazine (April/May issue I was told). Melanie's help was invaluable and greatly appreciated. I'd link to her blog but she hasn't one (yet) but wait until she does have one and you see her art work! Fantastic!

Hi, Nice to meet you! We have the love of hearts in common - it's what got me stitching again - hearts at Valentine's time of year.

Wonderful colors in this piece and the name fits perfectly. It warms my heart and I could really use a thaw right now!
