Today is My Day!
Welcome to my Life in the Scrapatch
My stamp measures 1.25 x 1.75"
The heart is cut from a pieced square.
fabrics and plan
3/4" strips
cut
pieced
cut again
assembled
pieced and pressed
to size
background fabric added
quilt layers
sandwich sewn
turned right side out and kitty approved
back of stamp,
open edge hand sewn closed
"Freedom Forever"
The postage on my stamp says "Forever" because the

after future postal cost increases.

I like to turn them into keychains and refrigerator magnets
and needle books, etc.
