The other evening, I figured out a much easier way to weave hearts on the little heart loom that I designed, and Gary McFarland of Dewberry Ridge Looms makes.
Here’s the new video, showing how to weave hearts this easy peasy way:
And, if you click ‘Heart Loom’ in the categories, you’ll find lots of links for yummy things to make with the heart looms

You can weave a Valentine!
I wanted to wrap my daughter in love, so I decided to weave her a stole or scarf that has the hand prints of our near and dear.
And in the hand prints, are little hearts that I wove on my heart loom. LINK for how to weave them.

I wove the triangles on the 14 inch triangle loom from Dewberry Ridge looms LINK

And showed how to do the chain stitch drawings: LINK

And, how to weave the flower from hearts: LINK

Because the scarf/stole/shawl will be seen from both sides, I stitched a heart to each side of the stole 
)
I plan on crocheting an edge around it eventually, but am holding off on that until we are sure that we don’t want more triangles added to it.
I love being able to pour my love into a special gift- with love in every stitch! 
In every stitch is a wish for happiness!
The Heart loom from Dewberry Ridge loom is such a sweet little loom Here’s the Link to order one of them: LINK
I’ve woven some fun things with it:
Here’s the ‘How to’ that shows some of them: LINK
and how to make a butterfly: LINK
And, now, here’s how to weave a flower using the Heart loom:

The flowers can be used to embellish scarves, stoles, shawls, bags, vests, hats or other garments or pillows, throws, curtains….

To make the flower, you’ll need to weave 5 hearts in petal color and 3 in leaf color:

Fold the leaf hearts in half and stitch the edges.
Then, stitch the petal hearts together with one edge layered a little over the other, then stitch a button on for the center:

Then, stitch the leaves to the back of the flower.
If you are going to stitch a pin or a hair clip to the back of the flower, cut a circle of felt and stitch it over the messy ends on the back.
If you are going to stitch the flower to a garment or home accessory, don’t worry about the felt circle.
Just stitch the flower on, leaving the tips of the leaves and part of the flower petals free so they are dimensional.
And here’s the video on how to weave the heart flower:
Have fun with your hearts and flowers!
I have been weaving up all kinds of sweet little hearts on the Dewberry Ridge Heart loom.
copyright Noreen Crone-Findlay
You can use the butterflies to embellish all manner of things: Toys, dolls, scarves, stoles, shawls, hats, bags, stitch a pin on the back to wear it as a pin, stitch it to a pillow, towels, blankets, throws, wraps…. etc
Here’s the video tutorial on how to make the butterflies:
Happy weaving! Happy butterflies!
A couple of weeks ago, I designed a tiny pinboard loom to weave little hearts- Here’s the link to that post HEARTS
copyright Noreen Crone-Findlay
I just loved the little hearts that I wove on the pinboard loom, but didn’t really like holding the foam in my hands while I wove.
I asked Donna and Gary at Dewberry Ridge Looms if they would make some heart looms, using my design, so other people could weave wee perfect hearts, too. (Gary’s work is FABULOUS! I love their looms)
They said sure, so Gary set to work and they now have lovely little heart looms!
I am just enchanted with the little heart loom- it’s beautifully made and is a treat to hold in my hand, and a pleasure to weave on.
I am thinking of all the wonderful ways of using the woven hearts… ooooooooh yes!!!!
I won’t be selling them, so you’ll have to go to their website to buy one. Here’s their link: HEART LOOM
I have some fun projects in mind, and will post pics as soon as I get them done.
I think that I will probably make a video tutorial specifically about weaving with this little loom. (One more thing for the ‘to-do’ list!)
Happy Hearts!
