"Happy Hearts" - A modern folk art, patchwork and appliqué wall hanging featuring twelve hearts set against eccentric, patched rectangles in this colourful textile wall art.


Availability: only one available.


Making the piece:-

After the fabrics are selected, the piecing is carried out with machine sewing; the appliqué of the heart shapes is hand sewn. The wall hanging is layered with wadding and a backing piece, then hand quilted, before a final binding in gingham finishes the outer edge. On the reverse, a hanging sleeve has been added and comes with a strip of wood for hanging from two nails (the stripwood is included if you live in the UK, the nails are not). (If the piece is sold to a customer outside the UK, I'm afraid I cannot send the wooden dowel, because of size restrictions, but it is easy to source from DIY stores.)


The wall hanging measures approximately:-

26 & 1/2 inches high by 18 & 1/4 inches wide.

(67 cm high by 46.5cm wide.)


Within the UK: Because of this size, this piece will be shipped by Hermes courier, taking 3 - 5 working days to arrive, after despatch.


[Please note that the props shown in one photograph are not included with the wall hanging.]

Care Advice:-

The piece will be sent folded and may require a press with a warm iron to flatten it before hanging.

Spot cleaning or gentle hand wash in warm water recommended.


Inspiration: My aim in making this piece was to achieve a 'scrappy', improvised, joyful look, using vibrant shades from many small pieces of fabric. The fabrics used include a mixture of new and re-purposed materials in a variety of fabric types: mainly cotton, with some mixed fibre fabrics, and glass beads.
