Valentine's Day needlepoint patterns

Valentine's Day designs, among them hearts, cherubs, candy hearts, a ring in a box, turtle doves, roses and ornaments charted in the shape of a heart.

Some of the heart-shaped ornaments are filled with gingham, stripes, dots or tartan. The heart-shaped ornaments use two to five colors and are marked beginner or intermediate. A heart is finished like any flat ornament, over board cut to its shape, though a shaped edge takes more care than a round or a square.
