Sweet Hearts and Valentine's Quilty Project

Sweethearts Mini Quilt
One week until Valentine's Day!

Would you like to make your own darling Sweetheart Mini?

 After reading many blogger's posts on their photography, I have been getting more and more interested in the subject.  I got out my tripod today and tried different modes on my camera.  I haven't done that before. 
 The tripod is essential for taking photos without a flash because otherwise they are usually blurry.
There is a big rainstorm this weekend in Northern California, which we really need because of a severe drought.  The clouds cleared a little and I was able to take my dogs out for a walk and got some dappled lighting here, which helps to show the quilting design.

I even bought some Conversation hearts for the photo, but forgot to use them.  Oh well, maybe next time.
  Are you joining Quilt Shop Gal's February FMQ challenge?
Here's a sneak peak at my pieced pillow top so far.

I found the easy tutorial for this darling project by The Crafty Quilter here.

I love these hearts and the 3D triangles. And your quilting is superb! I am so impressed. That little house is also adorable. I should make one. :)

The quilting on your Sweethearts Mini is lovely. I need to get braver about FMQ! As for the conversation hearts, I think you should eat them. : )
