I whipped up this little cross stitch as a gift tag for a bridal shower, but realized it is a perfect and quick project for Valentine’s Day. Kind of like carving your initials into a tree, but without the need to wield a knife. Stitchpoint has some nice alphabets featured in their cross stitch writing tool, and you can also find a lot of alphabet patterns by doing a search on Google Images. I’ve included a link to the heart pattern as a PDF below; just print it out and fill in the squares with your letter pattern.

This project was finished in the embroidery hoop is was stitched in, using this excellent tutorial from Maximum Rabbit.
