A sweet moment
Below is the heart I chose to embroider for Valentine’s Day 2024.
It’s a project full of freshness and greenery. Tulips and ranunculus are blooming. These two flowers are among the first to make their appearance at the start of the spring season, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy making them, as I did.

You’ll find the design for this project to download HERE and here’s the list of colors used to embroider this heart.
Raw silk House of Embroidery – 8 Bush, 25 Lemon and lime, 46A Brass
Perle cotton n°8 House of Embroidery – 58A Christmas green, 85C Tropicana
Stranded DMC cotton – 742, 743, 745, 498, 666, 350, 351, 352
or Soie d’Alger – 545, 543B, 2521, 2936, 936, 934, 932, 636
As usual, I encourage you to work to your own taste, using your own choice of colors, because in my opinion, one of the greatest pleasures of embroidery lies precisely in this choice.
After outlining the petals of these tulips in split backstitch, embroider the motifs in long and short stitch, using 1 thread.
