a valentines x's & o's quilt top!

I got a little side tracked these last couple weeks that pulled me away from my scrappy trip along blocks.  Though, I really was waiting for some more text fabrics to arrive so I had a great excuse to start a Valentines quilt.  X's & O's!  Ryan posted a valentines quilt on Facebook so I was itching to make one too.  THANKS, Ryan for the inspiration!  :)

This was a super easy quilt to put together as I used a few charm packs.  Marmalade, Bliss and The Simple Life.  I love how the three collections look together and it made it so I didn't have to ponder over which fabrics to pull from my stash.  That can take up a lot of time for me.  I'm one that can waste tons of time just thinking which fabric to use where.  So this was perfect!!

I took some pictures of the steps I took to make the quilt top so would be happy to post a simple tutorial if you'd like.  What do you think, is that something you'd like to see in the next week or two in time for Valentines?

I'm so excited to get this quilted so I can snuggle under it with my dear ones and give them hugs and kisses.  ;)

These last couple weeks I've added a couple vintage lovelies to my collection.   First, this pretty vintage tablecloth!!  Oh, I was so excited when I found it, as it was perfect...red, aqua, pink AND flowers, scallops and doilies!!  It can't get much better than that!  :)

Also, this simply adorable little vintage porcelain lambie!!  She even has cute little flowers on her!!

Oh, I really do ♡♡♡ her!!  :)

For shop news I thought I'd show you some new fabric that came in recently.  Hill Farm by Lecien!  It is so pretty!!  It is available in the shop as fat quarter and half yard bundles, and each print is available separately.

I hope all my sweet friends are having a spectacular week!!  

Hugs,
