Last night I was working along on the baby quilt. Mr. Sweetie Pie was working late, and I started thinking how much I "heart" him. So one thing led to another and I made this little heart to hang on his armoire.
I like it!
Red is my favorite color and he is my favorite man!
Only problem was......when I looked for a needle to close the heart, I had to go back to the package. Somehow needles just disappear around here.
That led to another brilliant idea. I made this little needle book.
I got to try out another of the decorative stitches on my new sewing machine.
And now I have a much better place to leave my needles after I've finished using one. (The arms of the chair I've been sitting in is really not a very good place. )
I got all the squares finished last night, and hopefully tonight I'll get the top put together. I have ideas for the sashing. I'm sort of a make-it-up-as-you-go-along kind of person, in case you hadn't noticed. The pattern I'm using is a free one . You know "free" is my favorite word, right?!Hope you're having a great day with lots of fun thrown in!
Hugs and kisses,

Your quilt is looking adorable with the bright centers and the black and white dot around-stylish and cute at the same time and that's hard to pull off.
You left us hanging...what's that guilt free dessert?
