The Wool Heart Valentine is a stuffed, hand-sewn felted-wool ornament with appliqué, embroidery and bead details. The project by Robin Kingsley first appeared in the February 2005 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting; AllPeopleQuilt published the project page on June 14, 2013, with a pattern download.
Materials for the Wool Heart Valentine
Gather the materials listed for the project before cutting. Felted wool is the main material: its cut edges do not ravel, so the appliqué pieces do not need seam allowances or turned-under edges.

- One 9 × 15-inch piece of cream felted wool for the foundation and backing
- Two ¼ × 10-inch strips of teal felted wool
- One 4-inch square of mint wool
- Wool scraps in gold, periwinkle, dark periwinkle, burgundy and rose
- No. 8 Perle cotton in several colors
- 10 inches of cream ⅛-inch cording
- Glass beads in two sizes
- Freezer paper, a glue stick and polyester fiberfill
Find the project and its pattern download on AllPeopleQuilt’s Wool Heart Valentine page. The page does not establish the download’s current file format, pattern dimensions or access requirements, so check the live download for those details before starting.
Prepare the wool and cut the shapes
- Machine-wash the wool in hot water with a small amount of detergent, rinse it in cool water, then tumble-dry on high heat. Steam-press the wool.
- Use the project patterns and freezer paper to cut two cream heart shapes, leaves from green wool, and small flowers from the colored scraps. Make clean, smooth cuts; the felted wool does not ravel.
Appliqué and embroider the front
- Arrange the two teal strips on one cream heart to form a heart outline. If needed, steam the strips to help them follow the curves. Trim their ends at an angle so they meet, and hold them in place with a glue stick.
- With green Perle cotton, running-stitch along both long edges of the teal strips.
- Stem-stitch three tendrils. Position and glue the green leaves, then backstitch the center of each leaf.
- Arrange and glue the small flowers. Make three French knots in the center of each flower.
Add the hanger and beaded dangle
- Fold and knot the cream cording to make the hanger.
- Make a twisted cord from Perle cotton for the lower dangle, then attach it to the second cream heart. The two hearts will enclose the ends when joined.
Stuff and finish the ornament
- Place the cream hearts wrong sides together, with the hanger and dangle ends between them.
- Running-stitch around the edges, leaving a 3-inch opening.
- Stuff the heart firmly with polyester fiberfill, then stitch the opening closed.
- Sew the remaining bead at the center of the heart.
What kind of project is this?
This is a sewn, stuffed hanging ornament—not a flat appliqué or card. Its decoration combines wool appliqué with hand embroidery and glass beads. “Needle felting” is a different technique; this pattern uses sewn pieces of felted wool. For context, AllPeopleQuilt also lists the project among its Valentine’s Day sewing projects.
