After a few life hurdles and distractions I’m back at finishing this Valentine’s quilt. Always take into account nesting your seam while pressing.

Coming out very nicely if I do say so myself. First time using crop on the quilt top.

Next quilt is designed, fabrics picked, and math done. Too bad the background fabric, a solid pink, hasn’t arrived yet so I can’t get it all cutout today.

All sewn up. Now need to make some longarming decisions. Am I going to quilt around the hearts in white and the hearts in red. That would be lots of ProStitcher work.

At a guild meeting for Tapestry Quilters in Kissimmee. Finished trimming the hearts and now adding the sashing.

Seedling all looking good except looks like something ate a couple leaves. Need to start another tray of marigolds too.

It’s getting there. Not as quickly as it could cause I’ve recently bought an expansion to one of the videos I play and it’s been consuming my time.

All the pieces for the hearts are cut. Still need the offsetting background pieces and the sashing pieces; which I’ve decided to add to more center the heart.

How in the laws of the universe is this possible? Occasionally my thread finds itself wrapped around the needle like a showgirl.
