Red and White and Valentine's!

We like Valentines...mostly of the chocolate variety, but this felt garland was pretty fun to make. Our photography skills have not improved much, but you get the idea.  We used our new wool felt fabrics to create the garland and our pincushion this month.  For the garland you'll find a great tutorial here and you can get this project done in a flash!

pincushion
Our little wool felt pincushion features lots of french knots - which could easily be switched out for beads...we have a little felt roll of these featured colors, and the pattern from American Homestead.  Yes, sadly - the empty polka dot heart box is just for background, no chocolates left....

Little Red Riding Hood
Do any of you have this fabric in your stash?  They have reprinted this fun storybook print, and now you can get more...so you can actually use what you've been saving?  Sounds about right to me!

We are getting ready for our next challenge project - so watch for more news on that soon....we have a few fabulous Lincoln's Sampler quilts on display from our last challenge.  And a big shout out to our dedicated participants for completing that project.  We'll have photos soon!

Wrap up in a quilt, stay warm and stitch something fun!
