I had 3 TV shows to watch last night so I cut lots of pieces for Crossed Canoe blocks. I did the pairing of fabrics right before I sewed them instead of before I cut them.
I completed 8 blocks and have a pile of pieces left over. I think I'll cut some red-orange fabrics to go with some of the left over yellows.
My first Valentine arrived in the mail yesterday. It is from Linda who sends me one every year. I know she sends out lots of them so I am honored to be on her list.
(Thanks Linda!)
The heart looks like foiling which I have never done. The photo just can't pick up the true beauty of the shiny pink.
Ha, ha! I cheated. I bought some Valentine fabric at Joann's (really small selection) that had all these foiled hearts on them and fusssy cut out a yard of hearts to use for the cards. Then I free motioned them down on purple batiks with metallic thread (Superior( and tried all kinds of edge treatments. I used felt for the backing because it works better on quilting small items than batting. Glad you enjoyed it!
Seeing the canoes bought a WOW out of my mouth. seeing your heart brought a "aren't you lucky-it's beautiful"
