Celebrating Love

Happy Valentine's Day!
I couldn't resist posting the few things I've made with a heart theme.

This little pillow....a simple old-fashioned redwork embroidery.....




and a raggedy hearts wall quilt.




I bet many of you have made this one, too.It's done in the same way as the Bull's Eye quilt I posted here except with heart shapes instead of circles. It goes much faster as a group project as you get a great variety of red prints. Machine applique a large red heart on a neutral background (raw edge) Cut into fourths and re-assemble for the scrappy look. Wash and dry it - the raw edges fluff up nicely.

Potholder from an extra block

There is a Facebook page called Quilts-Vintage and Antique. Many beautiful antique quilts with heart motifs have been posted over the last few days. If you are interested, visit the site here.
