Pincushion
Use three strands of embroidery
floss for all embroidery

pieces atop a heart piece.
Stitching through all layers,
make a large cross-stitch in the

opening on a straight edge.
To blanket-stitch, pull your
needle up at A (see Blanket

and hold the angle of the L shape
in place with your thumb. Push
your needle down at B and come
up at C to secure the stitch.

blanket-stitch the opening
