got the quilt all together it was somewhat of a YUCK moment. And an "Oh Well" moment, too, I guess. The color side of my person wants to take out all of the solid colored squares and start over again, but I think the practical side of my person is going to win this time and hope that the quilting thread helps to make it look better. We'll see. The good part is that I thoroughly enjoyed making it whi
le spending time with the TTT's.And on a different topic, one of my friends has a valentine's luncheon every year and we exchange valentines. Since we're quilters, we really CAN"T just give each other a card with a couple of pieces of candy in it. We have to MAKE something. I came up with this idea of a redwork embroidery bag with the goodies inside. One little twist on this is the piping around the embroidery. We used our piping foot in Viking Club the other day and so I decided I might as well use it for these bags. I think it gives them a little extra punch. For those of you who might be curious about the font I used with the names, it's PartyTime by Monogram Wizard. It's kind of a fun font.
And a Happy Valentine's wish for all of you this week. I like to look on it as a time to consider the importance of friendships and relationships and how important the people in our lives really are. Thanks to each of you who blesses my life with your friendship.

Very cool little Valentine's gifts for your 'other' friends. I think the quilt is beautiful, and that your quilting will enhance it even more.
I love the little Valentine bags. The quilt is also very pretty. Maybe you just aren't a red person. I personally love red and think the quilt is fabulous and will only be enhanced with the quilting. Did you embroider the redwork on the bags or was it preprinted. Either way it looks wondeful.
I AM a red person, Jeanne. Unfortunately, the color leans to the pink side of red.
I embroidered the designs on the fabric--it's a Cactus Punch CD which I've had for quite a while and finally found a use for.

Your son must have a fiery streak, Vicki! Thanks for the kind words.
I think the red is fabulous. And how did you get a blog post by me when I check your blog every day? I must have been sleeping! The bags are adorable.
