Recently Nellie sent me this amazing bag of cotton floss! The card is a photo from one of her quilts. So many wonderful colors! I have been dipping into these for my current work in progress. No title just yet but I am sort of referring to it as Love nest.
It is all about hearts. Particularly the Heart as a symbol.
The heart (♥) has long been used as a symbol to refer to the spiritual, emotional, moral, and in the past, also intellectual core of a human being. As the heart was once widely believed to be the seat of the human mind, the word heart continues to be used poetically to refer to the soul, and stylized depictions of hearts are used as prevalent symbols representing love. ( from wikipedia )
So many roads I can explore on this path.
And so it has begun.
Hearts.
photos coming soon...

Wonderful gift. I've no doubt you will turn them into something(s) beautiful!
Hmmm I think I'm caught up in the past as I still think the heart is the core of our being *smile*. I love the feelings that come forth when I view a piece of heart-art!
Karen, I'm glad to share my stash of floss with you. the stories you tell with your stitches are amazing. Have fun digging for just the right hue in that mass of threads to spin many more.
