Valentine’s Washcloth Project from Brown Bird Designs Quilts

With Valentine’s Day coming up this week, I thought I would send out some love into the world. I put together this quick and easy Valentine’s project. It is the perfect way to use some of my Riley Blake Designs scraps, practice skills and make something that you can use. What is it? It’s a washcloth. A tiny detail that is often overlooked. The heart I used in this project is a paper pieced pattern by The Tattooed Quilter called Big Hearted. Click here to get the free download. He created an adorable project putting this heart ...

always changing . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

Not a whole lot going on to show here today. I managed to change up the design of my class quilt (again) . . .

Here's my EQ layout. It's a respectable 60" by 60" now, so I think I'm done changing things! I added the four corner blocks (which are just a tad different) and increased the width of the sashing and borders.

The blocks (laid out here in the order I planned to stitch them together) are now sashed and ready to have the borders stitched on. I'd like to have that done before class on Tuesday ...

Have a Heart for Safelight from From My Carolina Home

Making small gifts for Safelight this month along with stamping a couple of cards for very special friends kept me busy at the stamping bench. If you are not a stamper, please read on for an update on this year’s Safelight Project. Isn’t this stamp adorable? It is called Darby Love, and is also available from Impression Obsession without the heart, called Darby (affiliate links).

I stamped him in red and mounted the image on red card stock. Then I added the sentiment.

french knots and hearts . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

It's only appropriate that the embroidery that I put together for our road trip weekend . . .

Was finished just as we entered the last mile into the camp!

Full circle (full heart?), I'd call that! Here it is in better lighting . . .

I still need to spray out my markings and decide what to do with it now that the stitching is finished. Heh.

Several of you have asked about where I found my pattern. It was a vintage freebie from French Knots. If you've never visited their website and you're an embroidery enthusiast, oh yeah, you really ...

weekend goings . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

Todd and I got on the road yesterday afternoon and headed to Tuscaloosa for a missions conference. We stayed overnight at the Bama B&B!

It's a really pretty place and I'll share more about that later.

I finished up granddaughter Olivia's patchwork doll quilt . . .

Just a simple finish. It's sweet! I'll get this out in the mail to her on Monday.

I also finished block 20 of my Grandmother's Choice BOM.

I had trouble with the points on this one. I may (*may*) go back and fiddle with it. I also may not ...

productivity . . . from Count it *all* JOY!

It's been a productive week and I've gotten in some quality time towards my crafts (and I use that word in the highest sense of its definition) almost every day, thanks to some lunch time stitching. In the class I'm taking we started to put together our first block, which I was able to finish:

It's a small class this go around, which is nice ... everyone gets the one-on-one if they need it. I'm learning some new things, too, which is awesome!

I decided to go ahead and make a fabric spreadsheet, to help me ...
