How to waste time when I should really be doing something else

In one of our POM Lunch and Shmooze meetings, Elaine shared where she finds hearts everywhere - in art, in nature, in architecture, in shadows, etc.

Shirley challenged us to find or make hearts ourselves.

Thanks to Inbal's, Amit's, and Doron's detritus, I have this stencil with hearts.

Thanks to my buy nothing (hoarding) mentality, I have this box of cut off pieces of Timtex (stiff flexible stabilizer) which were thrown out after a POM workshop several years ago. 

 

So I am now left with think narrow strips.  I zigzagged three together, and then another three together, cut out same-sized hearts from each of them, on one the zigzag is horizontal on the other - vertical.  I will adhere fabric fabric crazy-quilt style to each of them and then attached the two together.  By having one vertically pieced and the other horizontally, I assume the Timtex will not bend on the joins.

Let you know if it works out.

And now to do what I have been procrastinating on - my Yiddish homework.
