Latvian students chose the heart motif (srdiečko) from Slovak folk art, which for the Slovak people is not just a decorative ornament but a deeply symbolic element. The heart symbolizes love and marriage, life and health, and hospitality.

In their practical work, the students applied crocheting and basic stitching skills. They embroidered a small blanket on which they created the decorative heart pattern from the folk design. It was interesting to make this ornament because the heart shapes are geometric, rather than rounded, as is typical in Latvian folk patterns.
