paper pieced hearts

Some of my favorite things to play with over the years have been hearts, love, and general happiness!

With Valentine’s Day coming up, it seemed like a good time to share some old favorites. I’d love to see what you can do with these in modern fabrics. If you make any of these, please do share!

All patterns were designed by me and are free for your personal & non-profit use.

Donated to The Linus Connection, May 2005

I have always loved hearts in crafts in general, but especially in quilts. One of the early quilts that I made for donation to The Linus Connection was made of simple pieced hearts and I remember just how EXCITED I was when each heart made its appearance!

In honor of love and friendship, I am sharing a round-up of my free heart patterns. I’ve even added a couple of patterns that were previously retired. They are now back to share the love!

I hope you enjoy these and I hope you have some time to appreciate yourself, hug someone you love, and maybe get a little sewing in today. Each of these patterns is a virtual hug from me to you.♥
