Oh my!!!My first heart made for the Chain of Hearts group. It was so much fun. I used my very own hand dyed fabrics for this heart. The silk ribbon embroidery was my very first attempt at SRE. I done French knots for the little flowers and done the spider web rose for the larger ones. The double feather stitch was my first time of doing that. I outlined the heart with a checkered chain stitch. It's where you use two different color threads in the same needle and alternate the chain stitch. I done my first couching too. I used 4 mm silk ribbon and then used Pearle cotton to couch it with. The dragonfly is an iron on. I thought he was really colorful. I am really pleased with how my first heart turned out. I want to post this on the COH saying its available for swapping but I feel I need to get several more done before I do that. So, if I can calm myself down and get busy doing some more I can get ready for the swapping to begin. Although a part of me don't want to part with my first heart. (G)

I will probably put it up for swap, I really had fun with this. I am working on another one right now. Hope it turns out good.
Beautiful first heart! I love your silk ribbon work and your feather stitch.
That is Beautiful. I think the stitching is just wonderful and it is hard to believe it is your first attempt at SRE.
Thanks so much Lesa,
I was very excited with it, expecially with my last stitches I was putting in it.
Thank you Debbie,
You wouldn't believe how many times I took stitches out cause I wasn't satisfied with it. lol As a matter of fact on the SRE I had it all done, kept looking at it and wasn't satisfied with it so I cut it all out and redone it. I was happy with it on the second go round. (g)
I love the dragon fly :)
Thelma, I didn't swap my first heart and I didn't keep it either. I sent it to a little girl in Australia.
