Healthcare Hero – A World of Hearts Quilt Along

Calling all quilters & sewists to show the world our love in stitches! Let’s have a quilt along with a small 24 inch heart quilt to hang in our windows!

Now that we have been in quarantine with CoVid-19, have you seen the hearts popping up in windows? The hearts in the windows are a sign to our community that we are all in this together while sending love out to the world.

Looking out at our world from home and sending love and hope to everyone who walks by! #aworldofhearts We are holding on to these slow times and are going to cherish them forever. I just know some good and positive is going to come from this awful time. Stay safe and for my fellow distance learning parents, stay sane. Also keeping all my RN friends and the first responders on the front lines of this crisis in our prayers. We can do hard things. 🙏🏻❤️💪🏼💕 #stayhome #staysafe #worldofhearts #aworldofhearts2020

Check out how I added a quilt label to the World of Hearts Quilt. Have you labeled your quilts? Make it easy and just use a sharpie marker and set the ink with your iron.

Check out how I added a quilt label and quilt hanger on the back of the A World of Hearts Quilt. Cut 2 ten inch squares, fold them into a triangle and tuck them in the top corner of your quilt in the binding. These flap then can be use with a hanger slipped in them to hang in your window or on your front door.

Look at how many A World of Heart Quilts Donna Beaulieu made! Everyone is sharing the love around as gifts too.

We can make a First Responder Quilted Pillow! Just change the size of the square you are working with to 2.5 inches! I made this 16 inch quilted pillow by sashing the heart quilt block with 3 inch strips of white fabric. Then I quilted it with a matchstick quilting effect, but added random wavy lines every so often so everything doesn't look exactly perfect! Doesn't it look just spendid? The envelope pillow took me about 2 hours to make from start to finish. It felt so GOOD to have a quick sew and a finished project!

Now don't forget that you can hand embroider a message on the bottom left and right corner of your heart. These scripture embroidery patterns are available with the pattern.
