			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With Valentine&#8217;s day arriving soon, I have been beading more of my heart pins. Yesterday, I delivered a batch along with other shapes to the local PA North Country Artisan Center and Store  in Towanda.  November and December were good sales months, and I really needed to restock.</p>
<div id="attachment_109" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-109" href="http://www.andrusgardensquilts.com/blog/heart-pins-as-valentine-gifts/pin-group-2"><img class="size-large wp-image-109" title="Pin Group" src="http://www.andrusgardensquilts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Pin-Group1-600x579.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="434" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Group of pins beaded Tuesday</p></div>
<p>This was the batch I beaded on Tuesday. I am liking the new heart shape a lot. This new shape will be perfect for Valentine&#8217;s Day sales, but is great for wearing any time of year.</p>
<div id="attachment_104" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 395px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-104" href="http://www.andrusgardensquilts.com/blog/heart-pins-as-valentine-gifts/heart-pin-wonky-black-red-and-pink-1"><img class="size-full wp-image-104 " title="Heart Pin- Wonky Black Red and Pink 1" src="http://www.andrusgardensquilts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Heart-Pin-Wonky-Black-Red-and-Pink-1.jpg" alt="Heart Shaped art Quilt Pin" width="385" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Wonky Heart Pin in Black &amp; White, Red and Pink</p></div>
<p>This photo shows my <a title="Valentine Heart Pin" href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&amp;product_id=1012092" target="_blank">&#8220;Wonky Heart&#8221;</a> much larger than it&#8217;s just over 2&#8243; height and just under 2&#8243; width. I was playing with the shape to give it some character, but am not sure if I sill do many more of these or not. This one gave me the most grief during the beading process. I usually don&#8217;t have very large sections of single fabrics, and ended up removing the first attempt at adding beads to the large upper left mostly white section. I like try number 2 much better&#8230; This along with the following pins are available for purchase in my <a title="Sue Andrus Gift Items for Sale" href="http://www.artfire.com/users/AndrusGardens" target="_blank">Artfire Gift Items Studio- Andrus Gardens</a>.</p>

<div id="attachment_106" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 460px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-106" href="http://www.andrusgardensquilts.com/blog/heart-pins-as-valentine-gifts/heart-pin-hot-pink-black3"><img class="size-large wp-image-106" title="Heart Pin Hot Pink Black3" src="http://www.andrusgardensquilts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Heart-Pin-Hot-Pink-Black3-568x600.jpg" alt="Heart Pin as Pendant" width="450" height="475" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hot Pink and Black Heart Pin as a Pendant</p></div>
<p>The last pin of this group is shown hanging from a black satin cord. Most of my pins can be worn as pendants by simply pinning them to a chain, cord or simple necklace. This way they can be worn in more than one way. This mainly <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&amp;product_id=1012079" target="_blank">Hot Pink and Black Heart</a> is also available on Artfire.</p>
