My valentines ..
For those who know me, know I'm not a huge fan of paper-piecing.
It's not my favorite thing.
Upon, asking to do this hop,
I didn't know until I got the pattern..
Surprise!?!
So, I decided to give it another shot..
With the bigger pieces it was easier & fun.
I enjoyed it.
I had the best of intentions today to get it quilted..
But, with a thriving 8 month old
I found there aren't as many hours in a day as I would like.
And well, our neighbor across our street ran into our mail box too..
So, there was that to attend to as well..
I would like to take a moment to thank madm samm for hosting this blog hop.
Now to the giveaway..
I'll be picking a name February 20th 2014

Love it! Adorable little one...too bad about your mail box! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the patterns and the Be Mine. That first picture of your Valentines is priceless. Thank you for sharing that and your design. Thanks for a chance to win! dezertsuz at gmail
ReplyDeleteThat little guy is the best VALENTINE ever! The BE MINE is a perfect addition to the paper piecing blocks. And that's a lot of snow in that picture. No wonder the neighbor hit the mailbox!
ReplyDeleteLove your Be Mine and of course those 2 cuties! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat is so lovey - what a treasure to keep - ha! baby and the sewing!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt top looks great, and it will be fantastic when it's quilted!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - first your baby is just so adorable! And i love your "Be mine". Too cute. Sorry about your mailbox.

I love your paper pieced heart. See, you may become a convert to pp after all. I think you have an adorable little Valentine sleeping in his daddy's arms.
ReplyDeleteYour little one is the cutest Valentine and your quilt is so pretty! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteYour creation is really awesome! It looks like you hand appliquéd the letters, wow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and I love the pic of your men sleeping, it just looks like home :-))
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! and I love your quilt too!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with the paper-piecing, and the results are well worth it. XO's to your sweet little baby!
ReplyDeleteIt is adorable and you did a great job with the piecing. I am still to chicken to try it. Kudos to you. And enjoy that baby! He won't be a baby forever and there will always be time for quilting later.
ReplyDeleteCute project! Almost as cute as your smiling baby!
ReplyDeleteohhh lovely photos and even lovelier project….so sweet your wee tot
ReplyDeleteAdorable project, Love it, you did a great job with the paper piecing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty. It will be a gorgeous finish. I love the "Be Mine". Perfect. What a sweet little guy you have. He will grow so fast, time with him is so much more important.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with your PPing. Lovely runner. The finding time to sew bit wont get easier for quite awhile ;) My 23month old keeps me hopping too!
ReplyDeleteOh what a nice job!! Thank you for your giveaway too....lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job even if your life is busy! And I loved your picture of your sleeping Valentines, adorable :)
ReplyDeleteYour should feel very confident about paper piecing now. Life is busy, busy, busy. Just grab a few minutes for yourself when you can and eventually it will be quilted. Thanks for your generosity in the giveaway. You did a terrific job and the "Be Mine" is a great addition. Thanks for participating and being an inspiration as to what can be accomplished in a busy world.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job! Your piece is so pretty and I'm sure will be even more so once you quilt it.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is great! I hope you will get some time in the following days and please show us it when it is ready. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on your quilt. Love the photo of your dh and baby girl asleep. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are as busy as you are talented!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt in the making is lovely. Great job with the paper piecing. You have some very precious valentines to celebrate the day with. My you and yours have a happy heart day! XOs from me to you. Thanks for the chance for the lovely giveaway... <3 Pat
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! The lettering adds a nice touch to the quilt. svonfumetti at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteYour project turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the men in your life are feeling secure and happy. Great picture!
This is going to look just great when you get it quilted. I love the script you used, the fabric, and well, you just did a terrific job!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is wonderful, the paper piecing is great and so is the applique. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love PP, but don't enjoy the mess after. Thanks so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteI also didn't like PP the first time I tried it. But I've since picked it up again and enjoy it. Love your XXOOs piece - so cute! It's amazing to me that mom's of babies get any quilting done at all because there is so much cuddling time. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job with the paper piecing and I love the wording. It is amazing how busy life is when you have little ones. The only free time seems to be after the house is asleep, but we all need our sleep too.
ReplyDeleteYou have a couple adorable Valentines in your life...sweet! You did a great job with your paper piecing and I'm sure it will be beautiful when it is quilted. Happy Valentines Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable quiltie for two lovely valentines! The snow has made for tough time for so many, I think we are all ready for spring!
ReplyDeleteI love your project! The paper piecing is great. Your little guy sure is a cutie pie!
ReplyDeleteIt's a wallhanging, no it's a tablerunner, whatever it is, it's gonna be wonderful! Take care of that precious little one!

The photos with your son are adorable, what a fun age. I have never paper pieced, looks confusing to me, but you did a beautiful job on your piece.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Wow on the quilt. Beautiful. Sweet pictures of your live valentines too.
ReplyDeleteLooking good! 8 month olds, do take time from sewing, but can be so much fun. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your paper piecing in your pretty runner! (Also , cute picture of your boys!)
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day!

ReplyDeleteSNOOOW! We got snow here last Sunday, I had fun with it in the morning but it melted that night!
Oh I love the picture of the boys sleeping! How sweet!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the Internet is unpredictable! My first viewing of your blog was only pictures and so the sleeping boys were delightful. It took several "re-loads" to get both pics and text. Love your Valentines project. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteLoved your project. The pics of your boys are so cute.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job with the paper piecing. Your piece is going to be beautiful when finished. Your baby is precious.
ReplyDeleteYour work is beautiful-
ReplyDeleteOh how I totally relate to that time crunch deal all too well. Mine was not quilted in time either! It's adorable!

ReplyDeleteLove your twist on the x's and o's

Actually, I like it as is, unquilted. I really like the appliqued "Be Mine". Your son is so cute--I don't blame you for enjoying him now and putting the quilting on a back burner so to speak. These are special days that you will not have again.
ReplyDeleteadorable pics, love sleeping baby pics, I just did one today too :) lovely giveaway
ReplyDeleteA beautiful job. I love the addition of Be Mine. The script is awesome. Hope you and your "babies" have a wonderful Valentine's Day. Thanks for sharing and for offering a giveaway.
ReplyDeleteAdorable picture of your Valentines!! I love your quilt....the Be Mine letters are the perfect touch. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI just started paper piecing again. I forgot how much fun it was.... & your baby is a cutie!

ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful blog you have! It makes me feel warm and fuzzy to visit. Your hugs and kisses quilt is already looking gorgeous (I love the appliqued test), but yes, it definitely takes second place to the sweet valentines in your photo. I love your mascots too. No wonder your hugs and kisses design is so inspired - you are surrounded by love.
ReplyDeleteYour menfolk are adorable, especially the little guy! Amazing how much time is spent taking care of a wee human but it's so worth it.
ReplyDeleteThe foundation piecing turned out great. It's not so bad, now is it? :)
I love the Valentine's quilt:)
ReplyDeleteOh no your mailbox, look at all of that snow, And great job on the Foundation Paper Piecing too!

ReplyDeleteYour project turned out gorgeous love the lettering. What a cutie pie! We had a visit by one of the baby grandson's the other day just for an hour or so---I went to bed immediately we were exhausted. So the fact you got anything done, you deserve a great big high five!
