I'm a girl on a mission. I want to collect lots of little fabric hearts made by YOU!
I bought this heart from Jill at Bailiwick Designs and it arrived in the MOST adorable way! She wrapped her beautifully handmade heart in black & white polka dotted tissue and yellow curly-cute paper just for Daisy Cottage! AND she generously included some of her fabulous tags! Thank you very much Jill! I just LOVE it and it is the perfect heart for my new collection!
Soooooooooo, my dear crafty friends, pretty please with sugar on top, leave YOUR link here for me on this post so that I may visit you and see the fabric hearts that YOU have created! I would love to fill my white bowl in our living room with handmade hearts from you - seeing as how you are the sweetest SWEETHEARTS in the world!!
xo,
Kim
I ordered a beautiful toile one from Kathy's Cottage! Can't wait to get it!!

Kim, I don't make anything to sell, but I could think of nothing I would like more, than to make one for you, just because! Send me your address and I'll get started!

Oh Kim, I am looking at this post and all sorts of designs for Daisy Cottage are whirling around in my head! It is going to drive me crazy to go to work today, I would so much rather be making more hearts, but tonight.....I think I may have to do some creating:>)
Posted by: Kathleen Grace | February 12, 2008 at 08:27 AM
Kim, I would be happy to send you some "charming" hearts; just send me your address. And, I will try to get some up on the blog by Feb. 14. Thanks for making A Charmed Life so popular!

It's not your color though.
I'll make you a red one. Watch the mailbox!

Thank you Kim! I'm so pleased the heart is starting a new collection for you. What a lovely thought - a bowlful of hearts! I look forward to seeing how it grows.
Posted by: Jill | February 12, 2008 at 11:10 AM
Adorable.....that would look so cute in my kitchen along side my roosters. What a cute idea a bowl of hearts...can't wait to see it.
Happy Valentine's to you Kim..

Dear KIm,
I love Daisy Cottage. I'm a yellow and red girl too, and I head to your fun blog to find inspiration. I just made some fun felted wool Valentine hearts and they're posted on www.justabedofroses.com blog under the post pocket Valentines and felted cupcakes. I'm in the process of constructing my blog right now but soon I'll feature my designs there. I'll send you something fun and red... Kelly
Posted by: Kelly Henderson | February 12, 2008 at 12:50 PM
What a great idea! I don't sew (at all), but if I did, I'd do one just for you. Can't wait to see all the ones you get. You deserve a big bowl of love from your readers 'cause you're a sweet "heart" to us!
Hugs!
Kat

It's funny, I've been making up some hearts just to use some of my fabric stash. You want a few, I'll make 'em for you. Obviously, we're a little late for Valentine's Day. But hearts are my favorite shape, and I don't think they are ever really out of season, do you?
My blog is Sortafrugal.blogspot.com--hope you can visit!
Posted by: mom2fur | February 12, 2008 at 01:17 PM
You all are just AWESOME!! I will be visiting your links over the next few days - thank you, thank you for sharing your HEART with me!!!

Kim, if you will please e-mail me your mailing address at suscleve@aol.com, I would love to send you and Maggie a heart from my heart (and sewing machine).
Posted by: Susan Ramey Cleveland | February 12, 2008 at 02:14 PM
Aren't hearts wonderful! My daughter and I have been looking on the shore of our Maine Cottage for years for heart shaped rocks. Once in a while we find them. We even find heart shaped sea glass once in a while.
Posted by: Chris@Cats on my Quilts | February 12, 2008 at 02:24 PM
I will make you one Kim!!!
Posted by: bethany | February 12, 2008 at 03:10 PM
oooo-laaaa-laaa...what a precious little heart Jill made for you...it just doesn't get any cuter than red check fabric and roosters...love it!
Blessings...

Kim, You are adorable girl! Absolutely adorable. I know I keep telling you, but it is the truth. You are a blessing, and YOU are still at the top of my list!xo Rachel
Posted by: Rachel Going | February 12, 2008 at 07:33 PM
I haven't made a heart yet but I'd be happy to make one for your collection, although it will indeed be after Valentine's Day. If that's okay, please send me an email (j.scroggin.cox.net with your mailing address. My blog address is: http://junie-moon.blogspot.com.
Do you have a size preference?
Posted by: June | February 12, 2008 at 07:45 PM
Well, I've been into birds, but I reckon I can try my hand at a heart! : ) Here's my link, might be a day or two:

Oops, sorry, my email thing I wrote so that spammers can't use it didn't work. Just insert the "at" sign where the period is between "scroggin" and "cox." If that doesn't make sense, there is an email link to me on my blog in the right-hand column.
And here I thought I was being so clever--that's what I get.

Hi, Another heart lover! I have been making felted wool hearts with vintage button this year. I also received several hearts from a swap partner. Just check the posts on my blog from January through now and you will see many. Send me your address and I will happily send you a heart...from mine to yours.A little thank you for writing such a nice blog. Susan

I don't make fabric hearts, but I did think of you because I'm having a monogrammed pet jewelry give away and I thought of Miss Maggie. Stop by to enter if you'd like. I'll announce the winner tomorrow! xo
Happy Heart collecting!
Posted by: Lori Janiszewski | February 13, 2008 at 11:50 AM
Hi Kim What a lovely idea! I've seen a few hearts other bloggers have made and a collection of them would be really wonderful. Well it looks like those generous bloggers are at it again, spreading their love around-I noticed on the comments that some of your fans who don't sell hearts are going to make one for you! It never ceases to amaze me how kind and loving bloggers are. You are going to have fun waiting for the mailman to come each day!

Your new little heart is very sweet :o) I can't wait to see all the new hearts you receive and love the idea of displaying them in a bowl!!!!

Hi Hun! I'd love to make you a heart to add to your bowlful-of-hearts! Great idea!! Is there a size preference? Lemme know!
Please send your snail address to my email addy. wysewyspy AT gmail DOT com

Blessings!

I love hearts, too (our wedding anniversary is on Valentines Day-maybe that has a little something to do with it!!!). I made a very humble and small heart from red gingham leftover from a something I sewed for my granddaughter, and decorated with buttons from one of my husband's old shirts!
I really enjoy visiting your blog- thank you for the inspiration and beauty you share.
Posted by: Pam | February 13, 2008 at 10:51 PM
Wow, lots of people out there making hearts! I wish I had come upon this a couple of days ago! I didn't make any hearts this year. Maybe next? :) Happy Valentine's Day, Kim!
Posted by: Sharon | February 14, 2008 at 08:16 AM
I'd love to send you one of my Lavender scented hearts for you collection. You can email me at rubyjunes at gmail.com.

My blog really isn't a crafty one (yet...) but I do love to craft. I would love to send you a fabric heart if you're interested! Send me an e-mail & let me know ( I actually have been making some to use up some scraps I had laying around...) :)Hope your Valentine's Day was wonderful (love your site too!!!) bye for now-Tina
Posted by: Tina Eggert | February 14, 2008 at 11:53 PM
THANK YOU ALL!
I've contacted each of you that offered a heart! I emailed you or I left you a note on your site - hopefully you got my emails - I'm having "issues" with Yahoo! Thank you soooo much! I can't wait to share these beautiful hearts with all of you.
xo,
Kim

Karen, here's a link to a Valentine tree I had in one of our shops. It will give you an idea of what some of those hearts look like.

I don't have any for sale right now but I'd love to send you a couple for free! I'll need a PO box or snail addy.

Dear Miss Kim, Just stopping by to say "hi" and send a virtual Valentine's hug (a little late). Always happy to hear "Stranger on the Shore" on your beautiful site... As I sit and sip a cup of tea I'll say an extra prayer for you tonight! Blessings, Claudia xoxoxo

Hi!
I found your blog through "Notes From a Cottage Industry". I know it might be a little late but I thought I'd comment anyway. I just posted on my blog, a heart that I made if you'd like to take a peek. I'd be happy to make one for you as well if you'd like! Just email me your addy and I'll be happy to send it!

Kim,
I love you cottage! I live in my dream home, built in 1892. It is also painted yellow, with white and red trim. Red,gold, yellow, and green are colors I seem to use a lot. I have crazy patch hearts filled with lavender from my garden at my etsy site (www.etsy.d'Jean's.com)
I plan on dropping by for more visits. Your home is wonderful!
