Here's what I created along with those *How to Do's*
I had to think long and hard about this theme,
whilst reading the poem I gathered vintage fabrics,
lace and stamped images as I searched for inspiration.
Amongst my paper stash I came across snippets of vintage ephemera
and words on a 6x6 paper, it was as if those three words
Forever, Cherish and Adore were just waiting to be found.
Partially sewn onto the panel an embellished
pin holds the booklet secure to the heart.
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
I've really enjoyed my time creating this piece,
Thank you to Frilly and Funkie for having me
and to Sara Emily for hosting *Let me count the ways*
Wishing you all a wonderful day full of love and romance!
It is the most romantic day of the year after all...
Creative Hugs & wishes

I'm sharing today with:
A Vintage Journey ~ Your Hearts Desire Challenge
Try it on Tuesday ~ Romance Challenge
Wens ~ Simply Neutrals 53
Pixie's Snippet Playground ~ Challenge #345
Crafty Card Makers ~ Love, Love, Love.
I had to think long and hard about this theme,
whilst reading the poem I gathered vintage fabrics,
lace and stamped images as I searched for inspiration.
With the romance of those words I cut out large fabric hearts from linen
and stamped Tim Holtz Patchwork pieces using sepia versafine onto calico.
Layered snippets of lace adds embellishment and dimension
along with buttons from Grandma's button tin.
Sewn onto a cotton and muslin panel hemmed top and bottom I stamped along
both edges using a border stamp from the same patchwork pieces set.
Around two wooden dowels wrapped wire holds three pearl beads to each end.
Threaded through those hemmed edges they act as support for the fabric panel.
Amongst my paper stash I came across snippets of vintage ephemera
and words on a 6x6 paper, it was as if those three words
Forever, Cherish and Adore were just waiting to be found.
Machine stitching around each word I made three tags
and created a mini affection booklet to hold them inside.
pin holds the booklet secure to the heart.
With the top of the heart left unsewn a pocket has
been created to hold the affection booklet within.
A single strip of lace acts as a hanger completing my
Vintage Fabric hanging Heart.
Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Oh wow Tracey what a beautiful and elegant project - just stunning!
I loved seeing all the photos and wonderful details - thank you.. however .. you may want to slap my wrist as when reading I kept hearing Roger Rabbit in my head. (I'm sure he quotes that poem or something similar to Jessica in the film) :)
Thanks for your lovely comments earlier.
Hope you have good day and lovely weekend... Gill xx
Tracey this is romantic and gorgeous. What a clever idea to make the heart a pocket. I have those TH stamps and haven't used them but they really add some pretty details. Thanks so much for joining us at Try It On Tuesday. Hugs-Erika
A truly delight to the eyes Tracey. I must pop over later and have a look at the challenge but at the moment sadly I must do some ironing! Big hugs, Angela xXx

Oh Tracey, it's gorgeous! I love the booklet with the three words, and how you've added it to the heart as an embellishment. The Tim Holtz lacy stamps are perfect for this.Your photos look great on the old timber background - a vintage table? The whole effect is enchanting! Thanks for showing your process, too. What an inspiring post! With great admiration,

Wow Tracey this is exquisite - I love how you've packed such gorgeousness into this beautiful piece. I love the stamp set too but know I'd never come up with anything quite as lovely as this so would always feel rather dissatisfied owning it - that's rare for me!! Thank you for your visit earlier this week, I hope you get a bit of time for crafting,
Diana x
