I'd love to share what I made using Soma's Hugs and Kisses patterns....
Now.... if you happen to be a regular follower of my blog, you probably figured out already that I wouldn't be able to stop at making " just 2 " little old small hearts....
What else did I make? A Table Runner using these hearts....
I got the idea after seeing a pretty Valentine's Day Table Runner made by Cherilyn at A Farm Wife's Journal... where she put heart blocks together with 9 Patch blocks.
I decided to use five of Soma's paper pieced heart blocks , and pair them with some jaunty little pinwheel blocks.
The I *Heart* Pinwheels Table Runner-
The I *Heart* Pinwheels Table Runner-
Pattern- Hearts- Soma's paper pieced hearts were reduced to become 6 1/2 " blocks . I made five of these.
Pinwheel blocks - five 6 1/2 inch blocks
Fabric- Valentine Rose by Tanya Whelan at Free Spirit
White Garden Pin Dots by Michael Miller
Stash fabrics for different pinks
Thread - Aurofil White 100 % cotton (50 weight)
These little hearts are so cute, that I wanted to make something using a smaller heart. So I made a little door handle pillow.

WOW. They are all so sweet! I like your tea towel idea. I may have to make one of those.
ReplyDeleteSusie, what sweet and wonderful creations you've made for hugs and kisses !
ReplyDeleteYou certainly had your mojo going with all your projects. My two favorites were the tea towel (Love that ruffle!) and the pincushion. I always think...You can never have too many pincushions and yours is adorable. The "Valentine Rose" fabric is absolutely gorgeous and one I want to add to my stash!
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm overwhelmed. Beautiful job! I love all the projects but especially the pin cushion and table runner. Really nice fabric choices as well!
ReplyDeleteWowsa! Your projects are all so nice! I really like the combo of pinwheels and hearts in the runner.
ReplyDeleteWow! The hits just keep coming! The tea towel is adorable - I love the fabrics you chose and the ruffle completes that towel. I love the fabrics you chose for the runner, too. I love the pink gingham. I have a thing for gingham and, of course, the polka dots, too. You did a great job. And then the door hanger with the jewels is the icing on the cake. Hearts, pin wheels, phenomenal quilting, ruffles, gingham, polka dots, pink and white, red and white - what more could a girl ask for? Thanks for participating.
ReplyDeleteAll of your projects are just so sweet and cute! i love your fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing.
