Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentines Day to everyone!  I hope you get to do something special today with the ones you love!

I finished my Twisted Heart quilt and decided to make it into a pillow.  It is a generous size - 20" square

This is my kitchen window sill.  I have several Valentines postcards my good friend Dawn has made and sent to me over the years.  Each are little works of art!

So pretty!  I enjoy them every year!

These are the cards I made for my hubby this year.  It was a good way to spend a snowbound day yesterday.

Enjoy your day.  And don't forget to say "I Love You" to someone special.

No Willpower!

There is so much temptation out there... and I have no willpower!

Thanks to Wendy at Snippets of a Quilter for this inspiration.

So earlier this week, when no one was looking (he-he), I snuck down to my studio and cut some red and white squares to use my Lil Twister ruler... which I had never used after purchasing it probably a year and a half ago.  Okay.. so do I get credit for finally using a tool that I bought and hadn't used??  Is there an acronym for that..?   ... UQT? Unused Quilting Tool, maybe? :-)

Fun and easy to use!

Piece of cake to make this 18" x 18" heart.

Before I knew it, it was time to baste my Twisted Heart together!

What do you use to baste your quilts?  I have always used thread, and in particular this Basting and Bobbin thread.  Here is why I like this so much... it is 100% cotton and it is very thin.  It is made to break easily - which is a good thing.  It won't cut or tear your quilt or pull your quilting stitches.  And it comes out of  your finished quilt really easy.  Now I mention all of this because I have been trouble finding it in my local store where I buy most of my thread. I finally was able to find it online and was so excited.

Who knew someone could get so excited about a spool of thread?
Only a quilter...

If you see the Quilt Police outside of my house.....  I'll be hiding downstairs in my quilt room with Lucy.

Shhhhhhhh!
