An Homage to St. Valentine - a journal quilt

~ Primitive Heart ~ a journal quilt ~
A practice in tearing and weaving fabric - added big primitive stitches using embroidery thread to hold the weave together- printed lyrics of "don't go breaking my heart" from the big songbook, tore a snippit from this printed fabric and big-stitched it on.  Then added the woven heart by machine.....that pretty much sums up the making of a journal quilt paying homage to St. Valentine!

    I love your out of the box style. It is different without being outrageous. Happy Valentine's Day.
