P.S. A Few More Valentines

Just wanted to share a couple more things before it's time to pack up what is unfinished (which will be a treat to take out for next year).

Sweetheart Pillow is made with little 3 1/2" hearts (To make: take two strips of fabric 2 x 3 1/2";  Snowball the top corners with 1" squares of background fabric.  Snowball the bottom corner with 2" squares of background fabric.  Add stripes!

Mini pink and red patchwork toppers, still need quilted and bound.

Topper for TV console

 

Cute Valentine envelope.  You can see I fussy cut the heart triangle

I think I will remove the white corner square triangles and add some triangles to the top of the envelope and make two more.... anyway, I'll show you next year.

Hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day Wreath

Scrappy Wreath from a tutorial on Happy Quilting

 

I was happy to find a heart shaped wire frame at the dollar store.  I folded lengthwise and finger pressed and then started tying on some 1 1/2 x 6 1/2" strips but later changed the way I tied them on.  

In order to make the wreath fuller, I strung a bit of ribbon and tied as shown and tied on extra strips.

It turned out so pretty, but I wasn't liking that there were frayed edges, so started pinking the edges in spots where I saw fraying and on all subsequent strips I added.  Just beware to open the pinking shears with two hands, to spare your poor thumb joint!  Or if you have a pinked rotary cutter blade, that might work well.

Update:  Looks cute on the front door!
