Valentine's Day is fast approaching and this is one of the projects I really want to do so have gone through my fabric stash today to see if I have everything I need....well of course I need one more fabric - dont we always !
I love quilts whether they be old and tattered from wear, precious preserved antiques or brand new, there is just something about them that makes me feel good. I especially like handstitched quilts and this is the kind I make. There is just something about all those little stitches nice and neat and in rows. When I look at an old quilt I imagine who made it and all the time they spent, I often wonder what they were thinking about since I tend to daydream when quilting.
This Valentine applique quilt is just 32x32 and perfect to give to someone you love. The four hearts are embroidered with Be Mine and I Love You. These could be adapted to a quilted runner or even used as ornies - wouldnt they be just perfect !
Heres the url for pattern and directions : http://www.quickquilts.com/golden/qg46_pattern/ . If you decide to make it please come back and share with me and Ill try to post pictures of my progress along the way.
