Valentines Stuff and Swap



The felt heart necklaces for "Little Mans" class were finished on time. When I asked Little Man Did everyone like the hearts? His response... Yes. That’s all I got.

I made a Love Bird with the tutorial from Molly Chicken Blog. Little Man loves his Love Bird. I put some little paper heart valentines into the pocket so he had plenty to pull out. It made such a nice surprise on Saturday Morning.

The Swap I signed up to participate in is Reanna Lily Designs Swap. I hope this yellow is ok as the person at the cutting table made some remark that she hoped my fabrics were not for a pillow. Hey, I love yellow and the brighter and sunnier the better. However since the lady at the quilt shop made this remark I am forwarding a photo be sure suitable for the swap before I make more. The pattern I chose is Contrary Wife. Loved the name!

Here is a video not to miss.... Enjoy.

Lots of Projects...

As always bit delayed but I have been busy.

I did end up making my bag from the book Simple Sewing with a French twist by Dupuy, Célin. I ripped out many seams and made my with two different black and white fabrics. I really like the bag and am happy it came out useable.




Here are some Valentine Hearts for Little Mans class. I was inspired by the project on Pearl Bee. I am going to attach ribbon to make them little necklaces. I hope the children will enjoy them. Little Man wants to keep them all so I am going to make him something special.




I went last Saturday to a local quilt shop to help find fabric for my first Swap. I chose the color yellow as it is a favorite color in our home. Special Thanks to my friend / neighbor who went with me and was so patient and helpful while I struggled with selecting two yellow fabrics. More on the swap soon.
