Each project is designed to be quick, easy, inexpensive and fun to stitch and will
give you a few hours of enjoyment, as well as a lovely stitched heart to finish
as an ornament or make into gift!
Clear step-by-step instructions, a bit of Canadian
history and background of the Province, and focus on the repetition of the stitch
so that the new Specialty Stitch student really learns! Each kit is designed as
a little heart shaped sampler, and combines several different stitches from levels
1 and 2 with ONE new more complicated stitch or technique!
The projects can all
easily be made into gifts such as Quilted Pillow tops, Christmas ornaments, Potpourri
bags, Quilt Squares, Pincushions, Door Hangers, or Greeting Cards for loved ones,
and can be given with pride and joy!
These inexpensive, quick, and pretty little
kits are wonderful to give to friends and family, and if you are familiar with Specialty
Stitching, you too can help teach others to learn! These kits don't intimidate any
newcomer and they include all the materials you will need to finish stitching them.
With encouragement, your friends will soon be having as much fun as you are!
"Hearts
of Canada" are each packaged well, with beautifully clear full colour pictures on
the cover, in re-useable zip lock bags so you can take them along as "purse-able
projects"!! They are easy "how-to" kits, to stick in your purse as you head to the
beach, to the cabin, on the boat or RV, to stitch gatherings or guild meetings,
in the car to have on hand while waiting for the kids, on the bus or plane, or just
at home, to enjoy stitching in the comfort of your own easy chair.
