Fluttering Hearts Contest Entry

I love creating original designs and my latest "Baby's First Valentine" Rag Quilt is one of my favorites.  A sweet baby quilt that makes a great baby shower gift or Baptismal gift for a special little girl.

Baby's First Valentine

This week I have entered my quilt in the "Fluttering Hearts" Quilting Gallery Contest.  Please check it out and cast your vote for up to 4 of your favorite quilts.  I may not be the fanciest, but I do believe I have the sweetest looking quilt in the contest.

My quilt is made up of 3 different fabrics, 2 in different shades of pink and one in a brown "sweet pea" all over print on a pale pink background.  It has layered hearts in the center medallion and smaller hearts in the corners which have been clipped to create the "rag" effect along with all the exposed seams.  It is finished off with a traditional quilt binding in the print fabric.

Please check out the contest and cast your votes.

Quilting Gallery Contest Entry

After a few months of dealing with family illness I am back and have submitted an entry in next week's contest on the Quilting Gallery website.  Their contest theme is "Fluttering Hearts" and my latest Etsy shop listing is called "Baby's First Valentine" made in a rag quilt design that I think is perfect for this theme.

Over the next few weeks I will be working on creating a twin size version of my recently published quilt pattern "Party of Four" as I have had some interest in working out the details for a larger than lap size version.

Before family and life interrupted me I was working on finding 100 different pincushion and needlebook designs so tomorrow I will continue with my quest and I hope that you will join me once more.
