Sweet Hearts

Now that I finished my son's quilt for college, many other projects are calling to be finished.  
So, what did I do?  I started a new one!


I needed something small to work on.  This little Priority: Alzheimer's Quilt is the result.  The idea for Sweet Hearts came from quilt photos shown on Make it a Wonderful Life.  Stephanie's quilting group is quite talented, and I enjoy seeing pictures from their get-togethers.  This particular inspiration was shown back in March, thanks to Pinterest though, I knew exactly where to find it when I needed it.  I'd really love to make a large quilt like this!


I also spent some time today cleaning my studio.  The next couple of days I will be retreating online with the Lib-Quilters Yahoo group, so I wanted a clean work environment ;-)

I added a Command hook to the side of my sewing machine for keeping my little scissors handy, so I can be like my friend Michele!
Cool idea, huh?  Quilters are very generous with their ideas!

Have an amazing day!!!

  2. Sweet hearts, indeed! I think this is a lovely way to begin the transition with your first fledgling to leave your nest. And I must say..your scissor holder idea is just wonderful!

  3. That is a good idea for your scissors. I like that! The hears are great. I saw another quilt like that not too long ago and had to laugh....how clever and simple to make a hart from a couple of squares and a rectangle!
