 If you are doing *The Ribbon * QAL I hope you had a lot of time to get the steps done! The next one comes out Wednesday - it s a fast and easy quilt.

Did you notice last week how many of the Heart Quilts were in our fonf?  I feel like I was in good company - look what I finished this week!!

Busy Hands , Little Penguin, and MMM Quilts !!And now ME!!!

This was  a Quilt a Long called GLOWING HEARTS by MMMQuilts - and I just fell in love with the blocks. I used a Jelly Roll - and just decided that they would look great with this panel. And so! I made more and Ta Da!!

I got it all Quilted and it will now go to my friend to bind!! adds a little extra love for our Veterans!!

and just because... here is a photo of my Husband ( top) and I ( bottom) are our Shoot  - we both won our classes and had a great day. Mine was great as I used a new horse to shoot off of , and I didn't fall off!!!

Eagle and Hearts

 I just loved the stripey of the hearts and the stripey of the panel and so...

I went for it!!

After taking its photo - I have decided to add a 3 inch white strip to the top and the bottom  - that will round it out to 62 x 80 ! Perfect QOV size!!

if you are looking for the hearts - head over to MMM quilts they are called glowing hearts and she has the pattern there.

We also did day two of our Shop Hop - K and I went east!!! to Julesburg to MDQ Designs. Julesburg is not really a destination town - its a part of the Pony express  - so historical - but I am not sure what else is there. Now I don't need to worry - MDQ Designs was worth the drive!

they had 5 different rooms of Fabric - and they are building on so you can have retreats there... and classes and it just looks so fun. 

I found this layer cake and maybe a few more things??????

But who is counting right?

Julesburg was 2 hours from us, and then we headed south ( i think ) for bout 30 minutes to Holyoke!!

We stopped at Creative Traditions - another cute shop - and right on the main roads so easy to find. ( these are smallish towns)

All of their Quilt kits were on sale - so I might have come home with one - as well as this fabric. 

K actually picked it out - I think it was his was of saying "stop buying live cows.... make a quilt!!"  that had to be it right/

we stopped there for lunch and let the girls play in the park a bit:

we also found a lemonade and cookie stand!! the little kids were quite cute. We were the only people in the park and one of the girls was hollering like the peanuts and popcorn guys at a ball game - cracked me up!!

I will tell you the rest of the day tomorrow - I don't want to bore you too much!!

Eagle Panel and hearts = and!! NO Co Shop hop

 Happy Monday Morning!! I had a little accident over the weekend and broke my pinky nail - not like just a broken nail - like I broke it in the middle of the nail where its still attached ( I hit a saddle horn hard) and its making typing awkward!!!

I had fun tho - so its all good!

I found this Eagle Panel and I want to use it for a QOV - i had these blocks that our sew group made - so I thought about framing it . The more I look at it though - its not making my heart happy. 

I had a thought!! I am making the hearts from MMMQuilts glowing Hearts QAL - what if????

and I like it - I think the stripes on the panel and the stripes in the hearts appeal to me - so this is the new direction I am going with the hearts!

NOCOShop hop is happening here: I had to go look at a horse Friday so K an I hit up Sew Downtown!

Got our passports and of course we found dinosaur fabric!! so you know that came home with me. 

The quilt they are doing this year is a beauty - so we got our block pattern there too;

Saturday - I had a Quilt of Valor presentation south of us - so decided we would hit the southern stores;

The first was The Quilt Store in Broomfield - LOVE that place - a part vibe was going on....

and of course -some FQ"s a little yard and!!! the block pattern came home!!!

After that we headed to Sew Bo in boulder - that was a pretty drive and its a tiny shop. They also have a lot of garment patterns. ( been there, done that - not going back - owned a maternity clothing co for 15 years)  

We decided that we must have been hungry - look what we found!!

and the last stop for the day was On Pins and Needles in Brighton. Another lovely shop , everyone was so friendly and helped my find some cool things - this was my favorite Strip package that followed me home!!

I think there are 9 more stores? so who knows what I will find!!

Heart Quilts for Valentines day..... and!! Finished ( or not) Friday!!

 Happy Friday!!!

It is cold here.... that is all.... ( oh well, plus we got snow - so I am happy)

In Honor of Valentines day I thought I would show you my favorite Heart Quilts that I have made so far.... since I only have two - I think I had better plan for a third one ( in 2022)  so that each kid gets one.... maybe....

The First!!

This was part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and I LOVE IT!! It did use a LOT of scraps for me!!

Each heart was made of a bunch of 3 1/2 inch scrap blocks - a lot of them !! And!! Because you know I love you - here is the little tutorial!!  Scrappy RSC Heart Tutorial

Remember... I like to sketch things out, when I am snuggled under quilts on the couch.... hinting that Hot chocolate would be good..... 

And here is my Second one  - I really like this one and this maybe it should be my remake.... maybe in Pinks and reds???

and of course!!! I wrote a little sketched Tutorial for it too!!!

Scrappy Heart Tute  and I even walk you thru what I was thinking.... BEWARE... If you read it - you may crave dark chocolate.... just sayin'

Now that I have you sidetracked - haha!! Its your time to shine!!  Show us what you have!!!
