A Love Note from Johnny to June

One of my favorite love notes was one written by Johnny Cash to June Carter.

Simple, as far as love notes go, theirs stood the test of time. Certainly not without it’s tragedies, the love between Johnny and June eventually prevailed.

Here’s what Johnny penned:

Hey June,
That’s really nice. You’ve got a way with words and a way
with me as well.
The fire and excitement may be gone now that we don’t go out there and sing them anymore, but the ring of fire still burns around you and I, keeping our love hotter than a pepper sprout.
Love John

In response to reading Johnny’s words, I came up with the Valentine designs, just for fun.

Wool Applique

This little wool applique features three little hearts on a soft vine music note. (Get it? Hearts, music note.) It’s tiny and made from scraps of beige, taupe, and three pinks. It hangs from heavy metal “key”.

Quilted Wall Hanging

This mini heart quilted wall hanging is shown lying on a soft layer of snow with Love Notes Mini Punch Needle.

However, this is not my original idea, to use squares to make a heart wall hanging. Since there was no pattern needed, I just determined my size and used fabric I’d precut for another project. Therefore, it was an easy, quick project.

Note: Since making this, I developed a method of how to audition the VALUE of fabrics by using BOTH sides. Consequently, I would now reconsider some of my fabric choices! Click HERE to learn more about auditioning both sides of fabric.

Therefore, I think of June and Johnny each year when I decorate with these little joys.

Share your love this Valentine’s Day and know that you are loved.

In conclusions, remember this: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.
