Blog Hops
Hugs and Kisses…
…and a happy Valentine’s Day to you!
I’m so glad to have you over
on my day in the sweetest hop of the year
A big hug to Mdm. Samm of Sew Wee Quilt
and Soma of Whims and Fancies for hosting this event
and darling paper piecing pattern.
Today, you’ll find many beautiful and
very inspiring projects created by these ladies:
Feb 14th
Lady Soma
Lady Laura Ann
Lady Doris
Lady Rexie
Lady Shari
Lady Cherry … you are here!
So I started with the idea of making a runner
using 2 sets of Soma’s paper pieced XOs and the heart…
Then mid-way through my runner
I decided I wanted to use more of the fabrics in the layer cake
I used to make the XOXO,
which has been in my stash for a few years
begging to be used, lol!
And since I love chevrons,
I made two rows of easy chevrons with 1/2-square triangles
oh, it just went so fast… loved it!
Of course, I love open spaces for lots of quilting,
so I added a little bit of white fabric,
and this is what my “improvised” project finished as…
then…
I still hadn’t used the little heart!
well, how about a little poem around the heart,
a few borders,
a little quilting…
the results where a perfect
the results where a perfect
Valentine’s card for my sweetheart!
Tada!
I have a little Valentine’s Treat for one of you too…
a $20 gift certificate to use in my website
To enter, leave a sweet little comment
and I’ll choose a winner Thursday, February 20th.

Oh, Cherry, I love both of these. Your quilt is so full of quilty love. You can never have enough chevron goodness. That is the perfect addition to the quilt. Your quilting on the negative space is so pretty.
What a sweet idea to add the poem to the heart. That is thinking out of the box and I love the idea.
Beautiful work.

Roses are Red, Violets are blue. Your hugs & kisses are sew sweet, And so are you!!!!!
Beautiful quilt. I love the setting with the chevrons. Very sweet valentine! Thanks so much for sharing. XOs from me to you … <3 Pat
Isn't it great what can happen when our creativity blossoms? Your final quilt is so much more spectacular than the original table runner. I especially like how you offset the X's and O's rather than centering them. Well done. (I'm hoping we see cherry blossoms soon instead of all this snow.) svonfumetti at yahoo dot com
Gorgeous project, as usual, Cherry. Thanks so much for sharing
Beautiful! I love that you put a little poem around the heart, too!
That looks wonderful, Cherry. I love the zig zag at the top and bottom as well as the idea of adding the poem around the heart. Great idea!!
Both your projects are just gorgeous and oh so sweet! Happy Valentines Day!
Lovely work! You do such beautiful quilting. I love your fabric choices, too!
Fabulous as usual! I love the open space look and the chevons! Happy V day!

Great use of color and fun to add the extra white space for quilting. It makes everything jump out. Nice work.

Very nice…you did a great job with them all.
Your projects came out perfectly I especially like the hanging heart
Love your paper piecing…you did what I'm usually tempted to do..You kept on expanding on a paper piece design, how big did it end up being? I really like the material that you used.

You are sooo talented and I I love your sweet little hanging quilt. It's so nice when we are able to take advantage of meeting new people that these Blog Hops allow us to do. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
Love the valentine blogs – Nice too with everyone's creativity around this date….
Your little projects are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing some of your creativity with us!
I truly 'love' how your creative mind works. Even though the XOXOs are very sweet and would have made a lovely table runner, the quilt just has so much more punch with lots of white and the chevrons. I did enlarge your valentine so I could read the poem; your special valentine must still be smiling!
Beautiful job!
Your valentine projects are wonderful! Thanks for the giveaway!
Your projects look really nice! I love them both.
