Another Valentine project was making these hearts (IFAQH.com) for the ladies in my Stitched Together group. They were made using Kreative Kiwi's free heart coaster design for machine embroidery.
These corner bookmarks were made from an online tutorial:
They turned out cute, and I sent them to my grandchildren for Valentine's Day.
The charts for these cute cross stitch gnomes were purchased on Etsy in 2023 from SodastitchDesign. They are a UFO from that year which I finally finished in 2025. I purchased the February, April, November and December gnomes to represent my four grandchildren. I made them into flatfolds and kept them for myself!
I wanted to try making a tissue box cover with a drawstring top so that it could be folded up compactly for storage. I thought it would allow me to make them with seasonal/holiday fabrics. I'm not sure if I'll make any more of them. It did turn out well though. Here are the two I made.
