HEART ATTACK!!!!

I am calling this week "HEART ATTACK WEEK"

All week long I am gong to be showing patterns that can be made before February and Valentines day.

A lot of you have seen this pattern.

This pattern you can make in an afternoon.

It is 30" in diameter.    Once you have the circle down, and the hearts cut out, it is easy from here on out.

In this topper I have blanket stitched through all layers (top, batting, and backing).  Then all that is left is to quilt the empty spaces.

You can go here to see how you can do one continuous stitch without having to tie off threads

Be sure to check your printer.  My printer I have to have at 125% when I am copying patterns.

You can purchase the pattern here:

or wait until tomorrow to see if you have won this pattern.  Just leave a comment, one of you will be the lucky winner of this pattern.

The wonderful thing about this pattern is if you cut your larger hearts out really carefully, you can make a smaller topper at about 22" in diameter.

Then using those scraps you can make a candle mat.

Come back tomorrow for another easy simple project.

Today I made this

I used four fat quarters, the left over  fabric for the binding.

 This is one pattern I really enjoy making.

 If you would like to make a smaller version you can purchase a kit at Inchworm Fabrics

 

I love practicing my free motion quilting on these smaller projects.

I just had to show you what came in the mail today.

OH.....you should just see and feel this fabric.  Totally fabulous.  My friend from Samoa knew I was pretty bummed about not coming for a visit that she sent me a pick me up.

Ummmmm mmmmmmm good.






 

NO SITTING ON THE OLD LAURELS HERE!!!

 Looks like it has been a while since I have posted....but there has been no sitting around here.
I am working on this octopus quilt for a customer (which by the way is giving me fits...or the machine is giving me fits...bad tension).

 Been working with this green fabric.....
and this next fabric (talk about wild....you will need glasses for this one).

 This is what I am working on now....yep, those wild colors above.  I am letting my Pfaff rest for today....trust me it needs it.
