Today’s quilted heart was made for National Cookie Day. The word "cookie” comes from the Dutch word koekje, which translates to "little cake." In fact, #cookies became popular in America on account of the Dutch.

I’ve given Advent boxes & calendars but never received one myself. Being a quilter wannabe I ordered one from Missouri Star Quilt Co. Today I opened the first gift & it’s a panel with 24 images. It’s perfect for my current project of making 300 quilted hearts for the Wis. Vets Home.

Today’s quilted heart was made for National Christmas Lights Day. They were invented in the early 1880s by Edward H. Johnson, an associate of Thomas Edison. On December 22, 1882, he lit his Christmas tree with 80 incandescent light bulbs, at his home in NYC. Much safer than candles.

Today’s quilted heart was made for the Great American Smokeout. It’s a day to encourage people to quit smoking, vaping or using other tobacco products. Make a plan to quit, for just 24 hours or go cold turkey & quit for good!

Today’s quilted heart was made for National Button Day. The oldest known button-dating to 5000 BCE-was made from a curved shell and found in Pakistan.
I’m baffled by this #thriftstore fabric. Bears and buttons? 🤷‍♀️

I made today’s quilted heart to say Happy Halloween Bluesky! Growing up in a small town, tonight was the night my brother & I couldn’t wait until it got dark so we could go trick or treating …unsupervised! Can’t imagine doing that today.

Today’s quilted heart is for National Civics Day. Back in the 60’s I remember my civics class teacher being drafted for Vietnam and had to leave before the school year ended. He was a great teacher & thankfully he’s still alive!
