Handmade with Love: Sewing projects that have our hearts.
What's winning Valentine hearts at the quilt shop? We've got projects that make hearts go pitter-patter. While gazing at new fabric it's, "Oh, I'm in LOVE!" When that quilt rolls off the frame it's, "My, you look lovely with your fancy new quilting!" With a bag of quilt goodies ready to sew, it's, "Golly, my heart is full!" It's no secret that quilting has our heart (true love always) so let's look at a few projects that deserve all the heart eyes.
At first glance you might think it's Valentine's chocolates, but this sweet little box holds goodies of an even better variety; FABRIC! The Endless Love quilt kit includes the pattern and fabric from the You & Me collection by, both by Sandy Gervais for Riley Blake Designs. You'll love piecing this 59" x 58" sampler-style heart quilt by sewing a variety of traditional quilt blocks in charming red and pink prints.
Perhaps something a bit more simple speaks to your quilty heart. From the same fabric collection by Sandy Gervais comes the You & Me Panel. This little darling is 36" x 43" and would sew up so quickly for a happy Valentine wall quilt. In fact, Riley Blake Designs has a super cute free pattern download, available here, that shows you how to add a sweetheart of a border to finish a 45" x 53" quilt!
Haven't worked with wool yet? Well, get ready for it to win your heart! Learn all about it at one of our free wool applique demos coming up. February 12, 11am or March 11, 5pm, you can swing by the Schoolhouse to sit in on a one-hour class taught by our wool enthusiast, Marianne Michaels. You'll love her simplified method and gain confidence to begin your own wool applique journey. No registration or supplies needed. Just pop in!

If you live too far away to join us, we invite you to watch Marianne's Intro to Wool Applique on our YouTube channel.

We LOVE a good bag class, especially when it helps us make something to keep us organized, and even more so when Shelley Taylor is there to help every stitch of the way. The Atlas Zipper Case Class is Wednesday, January 29th, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Schoolhouse.
