I thought I'd write in the Valentine color since hearts are the theme of the night. Several of you have e-mailed me and asked what pattern I used for my heart table runner I showed.
The pattern was a guild pattern that everyone made and then put them in a drawing. Well I won the blocks and made this tablerunner. Years ago. So I re-did the pattern and I'm gonna attempt to show you how. I'm not the best with tuitorials but, here goes.
Each block is made up of four hearts. This is the way to make one heart.
You start out with a 3 1/4inch square of red or you could do pink. Pink would be cute huh?
Next cut two 1 1/2 x 3 1/4inch pieces.
Now add a 1inch square to each corner of the rectangles. Then draw a diagonal line thru them and sew. Now you have snowballed the corners. Press
Add a 1 1/2inch square to the corner.
Next add a 1 1/2x4 1/2 white rectangle
You add one 1 1/2x4 1/2 white rectangle between each heart and then add two white rectangles with a 1 1/2inch square red square between each.
Now you join it all together and looky what ya got? You got yourself a 9inch heart block. Now you can add whatever size borders you want. Darlene, thanks for being patient. I hope this all makes sense.
It must be Jan. cause look who I found on the wall in my sewing room? Remember my friend Deanna sent this to me. It's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year thru. So if your wondering why I'll be getting so much sewing done this year.....................It's all about the company I keep.
This is a little coloring quilt I did for my mom, gave her the top, then she hand quilted it and gave it back to me. Are you seeing how this works for me?? I didn't even remember making the top but she says I did.
Boo asked me to post a couple more pics of Miss Madeline. Here ya go Boo. I think she's say HI BOO!!!
Wilster called me today and said that he's in pain. It seems that his phone rang yesterday and he jumped up to get it from being asleep. When he did something snapped in his neck and now he can't move it. He said he didn't realize how bad he looked until he walked past his mirror today. ROFLMAO!!!! I said do you look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame??? Get well Wilster!!! Or mommy will have to come there and nurse you back to health.
