The Heart on the right is on my sampler, inspired by the heart on the left which is on my wall hanging A Secret garden in my Heart.
I cut heart shapes from gold net and buttonhole stitched around the edges with gold metalic thread before decorating with bead flowers and detached chain stitch leaves.

Wow, it’s beautiful and what a smart idea. I thought it would be some kind of difficult embroidery thing… hehe. Love hearts! ♥!

What a great idea to use the gold net. I will have to look for some the next time I’m in JoAnn’s. I bought some filigree findings today from an etsy shop. When they come, I’ll send you some. Let me know your address. I saved it from before, but, naturally, I can’t find it now that I want it!
