BJP 2010 - Heartsquares - December

While the last 2013 piece is prepared and awaiting my full attention, I will give this final 2010 Heartsquare a chance to be seen:

The fabric is a total blanc, so to say, open to any kind of interpretation.

My October piece for 2013 is finally coming along very well. I just took some photos of it still on the frame. All it needs now is taking off the embroidery frame and doing the beaded edging.
