Valentine's Gift

Yesterday was to be a day of sewing with my friend
who was driving down from Logan.  We were going to
work on our January Schnibbles (only a month behind!)
We were both really excited to get started and had purchased

our fabric and everything was set to go.  But, as she

drove down the canyon got the idea that we should go

visit one of our favorite quilting shops in the south

end of the valley.  Of course at the mere mention of

looking for more projects (one can't have too many!)

I was all for it.  We would make quick trip (is it ever

quick when at a quilt shop) and return back to my

house and work on our projects.  Good plan!

But, before we left I wanted to give her her Valentine

gift I had made using Stina's hearts.  This little pillow,

I thought, would make a great accent anywhere she

wanted to put it.  Since I had a little fabric left from my

quilt, I decided to use it up. 

She in turn gave me this adorable stitched basket with 

buttonholed fabric flowers accented with star and heart

buttons.  Isn't it perfect for Valentines! I absolutely

love it.  She is a very talented and gifted friend!

Leaving our treasures behind we piled into my car and

headed out to see what we could find.  Oh my goodness!

We found all kinds of things!  Charm packs for our

February "Sunday Best" Schnibbles quilt, A Valentine 

pack for a pattern we had previously purchased, plus the

patterns for February and March "Hang Up's" from

Pine Mountain Designs.  We're waiting for the March kit

to be assembled and the cute black iron stand to come in

and then sadly (ha! ha!) we'll have to make another trip out 

there!  Another charm pack to make "Bertha" a Me and My 

Sister Design.

Needless to say, we ran out of time and didn't get to start

our "Madeline" quilts.  But, then there is always another

day and an excuse to get together soon.

Such a fun day!  Absolutely love my new stitchery and
all the fun things we found.
