my heart sings for you!


Have you seen the adorable birdie quilts that Erin of Why Not Sew? has made!?! They are simply the sweetest!! On Monday she made a sweet valentines one, that totally inspired me!! I had to make one, and it couldn't just go on my list, I had to make one now!! Though I have a kazillion other wip's, they could wait!! :)

I did a version of her sweet valentines one but changed it up a bit so it could go above my piano. One thing about me, I heart music, and really have a special place in my heart for it... so a birdie quilt mixed with a music theme is what I went with.

A bit of a close up of the quilting. For the border I tried loops for the first time which was fun!!

My daughter instantly wanted a picture with it, as it matched her new panda sweater!! :)

In its new home above the piano!!

I hope you are having a wonderful week so far!!
See ya next week!!

sweet {hearts}

This weekend I had some fun sewing up some sweet little hearts!! I had gotten some scalloped pinking shears several months back with the intention of making some cute little candy canes like Amy, but never got to it with all the craziness during the holidays. So I did a little spin on Amy's candy canes and made some cute scalloped hearts so we could decorate for Valentines Day!!

I used the cute little hearts as a garland and used some clothes pins to hang them on a sweet polka dot ribbon.

Some of my favorites!! :)


I have to show you these samples that just came in the mail last week!! Aren't they the sweetest!! I can't wait for these to arrive in the next month or so!! :)

My kiddos have the day off from school so it will be a busy day. Better get to those sweet little ones! Hope you have a lovely day!!
