Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth- for your love is more delightful than wine. ~ Song of Solomon 1:2 (NIV)

• Main fabric

Directions:

• Lay out fabric
• Cut out main heart shape (2)
• Cut out other heart shape (2)

• Sew smaller heart together - right sides together (use a larger seam allowance than normal), leaving a 3 inch opening to turn.
• Clip curves

• Turn right side out
• DO NOT close the hole where you turned it
• Take larger heart pieces and sew a message on both sides if you’d like. (For correct placement put the smaller heart you just made up against it and trace the area you need to stay within with chalk.)
• NOTE I do not have an embroidery machine….I just used my free-motion quilting foot for one side and a simple stitch for the other. Just write out your word(s) in chalk and the sew!
• Place main heart pieces right sides together.
• Place smaller heart with the opening pulled out into the seam of the main heart pillow.
• Pin.

• Place “made by” tag in seam allowance.
• Sew around the edge.
