Early in the year, Corowa Quilters asked me to do a Christmas workshop. Back then November was ages away and now it's here, tomorrow in fact. I'm teaching a couple of favourite designs, Christmas Trimmings and Stitched Treasures.
It's been awhile since I made one of the hearts from Stitched Treasures. Originally I used a fine stripe and have been on the lookout for a substitute ever since. It didn't occur to me when this print from the French General first arrived that it would work, because I was only thinking stripe. One of those light bulb moments happened and how lovely does it look with just a touch of green. The other nice surprise was how quick it was to make. Admittedly I prepared it one night and then stitched it the next, but it felt like it was finished in no time at all.
Since I always leave making Christmas gifts to the last minute, this could be just the thing......

There is a small quantity of diamond print left.
It's available here Diamond print French General
This red tone on tone would look nice used on the back of the red hearts. I like it with both the red & pale red French General fabric.
Perfect for Christmas. You could stitch on this one too.
It's available here Red tone-on-tone
Such lovely designs to teach for your class. Christmas is coming fast and I do love the look the little diamond print has given it - changes the look altogether
