"When was a child, I used to say this to my mother. I don't remember saying it, of course, but when I grew older, she reminded me more than once. I suppose it was one of those cute things children say... but it recently came to mind as just the thing for a Valentine. Who cannot use a little 'cheerful up'?
"Note: The model was trimmed using my personal collection of antique buttons. A nice 'frame' can be created using old buttons that bear some family memories. Simply arrange them as shown around the stitched heart, which has been closely trimmed -- to about 3/4" from the stitching. Seal the cut edges with fabric glue. Then either stitch the buttons in place or carefully hot glue them in the desired arrangement."
