Happy Valentine’s Day

Hearts Aflutter for Dylan B.
Lots of Love for Christy and her family
For Kathryn and her family

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hearts Aflutter was the very first block in The Splendid Sampler series. It came out on February 14th last year and I saved it to used this year. Lots of Love, also from the Splendid Sampler series, followed closely behind on February 21st. Although not part of The Splendid Sampler series, the block for Kathryn finished at the same size. I saw a photograph on-line and knew how to break it down to make it the size I wanted it to be.

 

For Elizabeth and her family

 

 

This card was another find online. It is English paper-pieced so I had to give it a try.

Happy Birthday Will

Since the Thomas’s will be heading to Disneyland later this winter I wanted to make something Disney-ish as a card. I had lots of Disney Princess patterns but I had to pull this Pinocchio pattern from a Christmas in Disneyland booklet. It was the least Christmassy pattern I could find (and I left half of it off).

Happy Birthday Kathryn

It seems by the time my Christmas sewing is done I’m ready for something different. This is the second year in a row that Kathryn has received a cross-stitched card for her birthday.

The bookmark kit was a gift from Diane – she knew how much I loved pansies. It was Pat’s idea to add her initials to the top.
