Heart a Day 2013 - Week 4 - Text on Textile!

Well here we go--surprise! I'm adding something besides hearts!
 I know, I know. This was supposed to be an easy, laid-back, no-brainer textile full of hearts. And then one day I was watching a sewing show on PBS, and they were at a gallery featuring a show called "Text on Textiles." What in the world! (I thought.) Text on a textile really is one of my favorite things, and the next thing I know, my brain went to work trying to write something about hearts to add to this piece of textile. 

 I have to say, as  this project is growing, I'm loving it more and more! After having it on my mind constantly over the last several days, I have written most of the text that will eventually go on this textile, in between each row of hearts. I like this change of events!
