Participating

Would you like to create handmade quilted hearts to participate in this project? IFAQH is all about the finder, makers of the hearts always remain anonymous. The original heart is in the photo below and we use it as inspiration for the IFAQH hearts. Hearts are made of fabric, generally the size of your palm, and can be any shape of heart you choose. Most have a layer of batting or fiberfill and you can embellish with buttons, sequins, ribbon, etc. Have fun with your creative process!

After creating your hearts, print and attach (no straight pins) one of the following tags*:
Link to tag 1, copyright 2024*
Link to tag 2, copyright 2024*
Link to tag 3, copyright 2024*
Link to tag 4, copyright 2024*
Link to tag 5, copyright 2024*

*All tags are Copyright 2024 by IFAQH. 
Tags are free and for use with the one and only IFAQH project which can only be found at:
www.ifaqh.com and www.facebook.com/ifoundaquiltedheart
Please note:  There are many copycat IFAQH sites on Facebook claiming to be affiliated with us, even using our name. We have NO state specific IFAQH FB pages. If one of the copycat sites has directed you to this page to obtain the official IFAQH tag to use in their project, please inform that site administrator that it is a violation of IFAQH copyright.  We encourage other sites to start their own kindness project and create their own tags directing individuals to their unique project.  Please read our most recent blogs here and here for more information.  Thank you!

If you cannot print the tag, please hand write only the following information:

I Found A Quilted Heart

*Do not add any other words, symbols, numbers, etc. to the tags. Tags should be plain text, without images.
Hearts should not be embellished with any added words or symbols.

Now that your heart is tagged, it is time to be placed in a public place to be found by a random stranger.  Here are some of the rules:

• Do not share/posts pictures of your finished hearts on social media groups. (IFAQH makers stay anonymous – remember it is ALL about the finder!)
• Do not hand, give or gift hearts to people. (Hearts need to be “found.”)
• Do not leave hearts on personal or private property, such as a front porch, vehicle, door, bicycle, mailbox, gate, little libraries, etc. (Not public)
• Do not leave hearts in a cluster, like a giving tree. (Not random)
• Do not leave hearts in places that are not public: hotel rooms, work desk, break rooms, office, private retreat, etc. (Not public )
• Do not leave hearts inside any kind of retail store or on retail displays. (Can be mistaken for merchandise.)
• Do not leave hearts in airports. (Homeland security does not approve!)
• Do not leave hearts in National Parks, Wilderness, Forests, Monuments, Bureau of Land Managements, or other Federal Public Lands areas. (Federal Regulation Title 36, 2.22 (a))
• Do not leave hearts in bathrooms, restrooms, washrooms, etc. (Unsanitary)
• Do not leave in places where they may be thrown away by staff. (Super Sad)

Examples of good places to sow hearts: A local park, hiking trail, highway rest stop, community center, outdoor shopping center, town square, foyer of public place, community bulletin board, beach, nature trail, tourist attraction, trees, bushes and fences in downtown areas, etc. Be imaginative and creative when looking for just the right public place to sow a heart and have fun!
