Hearts Everywhere!

There are many different versions of hearts showing up all over Instagram. Seeing them got me in the mood to make a little heart quilt. This heart pattern is in the Vintage Farm Girl book, I'm making the larger size heart, I think it finishes at 4". My Farm Girl Vintage quilt is on hold until I get more of the Moda dot background. It's been ordered, hope it won't be long now.

My Hello Darling layer cake quilt in Bonnie and Camille fabrics is quilted and washed. I love the crinkled looked of a freshly washed quilt. I used Essex white linen in this quilt, the linen frays a bit when piecing but it's manageable.

A new kit arrived this week. This is from Yellowfarmhouse and will make the Winter Blessings wallhanging. Look at the sweet little rusty snowflake.

Happy Quilting.

This is my second little quilt finish of the Simple Whatnots Club 1. Didn't sign up for Club 2 because I still have four little quilt patterns to do from the first club. I've got one started and hope to have it finished next month.

The Candy Hearts quilt was quick and I'm thrilled to have a heart quilt ready for Feb. I'm also happy to say at least 98% of this fabric came from my stash. #sewmystash2015challenge1 #sewmystash2015
The pattern is from Emily Anns Kloset on Etsy.

I've had this idea for a while and found the inspiration to get this done. The vinyl is heavy enough to give the bag good stability. The bird fabric worked out well for this bag.

Happy Quilting!

Lil Twister Heart

Has it really been a week already? I bet you've heard that one before... I made the little twister heart I think last year but didn't do anything with it. With Feb just around the corner, I pulled this out and finished it into a small wallhanging. I've hung it in my kitchen above the cabinets on this old window frame. Now if I only had more in a similar size to change it out each month.

Happy Quilting!

Hearts

I decided I needed to make a heart runner in my colours. This pink one was for the class I was teaching. My cold is much better Thanks to my friends secret remedy.  These hearts are using the 5" squares and 2 1/2" squares, so much easier than the first one.

I had a good Birthday this week. A couple of friends, my daughter and I went shopping and lunch. We visited Two Thimbles, my favourite shop. Two of the girls are new quilters and hadn't been to the shop before. They had such fun looking at everything, I didn't think they wanted to leave.  It's fun to watch the excitement of new quilters, they are so keen to learn everything. I forget how something so simple is all new to them. A magnet pincushion is a something that wouldn't even occur to me as a new toy. I had a blast shopping with them.

The biggest surprise was from my DH, he gave me a wonderful bracelet for my Birthday. I'm so spoiled and lucky to have such a great guy in my life.

Happy Quilting!
