Fun February Projects

Ready for some sweet February projects?

First on the list is this Say I Love You with Hearts and Flowers blog post. Click on the image and you'll see complete instructions for creating these simple felt hearts inserted into a bouquet. I made my hearts using the Brother BES Lettering and Software Customization program. This program has been around in a few different versions for several years now. In my opinion it just keeps getting better and better all the time! It a great midline software program for someone who doesn't need heavy duty digitizing features. I especially love the variety of artistic fonts built-in, along with the ability to use true type fonts. While there are Brother exclusive features in the program it does actually allow for saving in the following formats:

​As you can see, this list covers a lot! If you pop over to Brothersews.com you can check out their current offering for a Free Trial Download of SABESLET4. You'll need to scroll all the way to the bottom of their web page to see the offering.

Next, you'll find a post featuring the most famous mouse couple of all! This Disney Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse pillow is made from a sweatshirt and closed up in the back with a shoe lace! Click on the pillow picture to view and download instructions.

About the only thing I can think of to make this more cute would be to have their tails intertwined! This is just one design in an adorable collection called Disney Mickey and Minnie in Love. Check it out on the Brother design download site, iBroidery.com.

The final heart themed item for February is a framed piece stitched with decorative frames built-in to Brother machines, built-in lettering fonts, and a free antique key design. Click on the photo to view the project and you'll find a link to download the Free .pes embroidery design. I made this with two dear friends in mind. This special couple will know who they are when they land on this post :-)

I had so much fun creating each and every one of these! I must say that I never tire of stitching hearts, not just this month but all year long! I hope your February is filled with lots love and lots of pretty stitches!
