Trying out a few new techniques and employing a few new options with the aid of Bern and Jan – my two newest family ‘menders’. I found the pattern for the letters on Pinterest and spent the extra time fussy-cutting the pink fabric (formerly a skirt, bought at a thrift store) for the paper-pieced letters. I added a little flourish of decorative stitching – compliments of Jan- and a tiny heart-shaped button that I found in my button stash. I had a few red buttons but chose the one white button I had because of the symbolism (or affiliation?) of purity with the color white. The heart button reminds me to keep my love pure – to love without expectations of being loved in return – just as Jesus loves us all.
