Last finish from 2025

 My 2nd RSC quilt from 2025 is finally completed! I made 2 last year; one a traditional and one an improv version. I finished the improv quilt in November 2025. The improv version.

You can see the post here.
And here is the traditional version!
and with my cute little helper peeking out!
I named this quilt Line Dance! It is all machine pieced from scraps in my stash and FMQ on my domestic machine. 
The binding is a pieced binding that I learned on a @craftymonkies class with @katemustsew that turns your scraps into fabric rolls.
Its finished size is 55" x 64"
The backing is one solid piece from my stash! Here my adorable helper is showing off the backing!

It feels good to have another finish! I'm linking to Scrap Happy Saturday @SoScrappy and Finish or Not Friday @AlyciaQuilts.

Since it is Valentine's Day, I thought I would share the Valentine's that I made for my friends and family. 
I did most of these using water color and string art on watercolor paper. Then I glued them onto color card stock and stitched them on my machine.

They were a lot of fun to make! Happy Valentine's Day!

February RSC blocks

 Today I am sharing my RSC blocks for February (and January). February's color is blue! I have lots of blue scraps in my stash so I made 5 blocks of each of my blocks patterns. 

This is my traditional block.
In January, I only made 3 blocks of each so I added 2 more pinks!
This is my improv block. 
Again I added 2 more blocks of pinks.
I'm liking these blocks a lot! Can't wait to see how this all develops! Linking to Scrap Happy Saturday @So Scrappy

Happy Valentine's Day! 
I love to make cards for my friends and family for Valentine's Day. This year I decided to play with watercolors and hearts. I searched for inspiration on Pinterest and this is the result of my play!
These are postcard size cards. I wrote little messages to each person on the back. 
It was a fun activity! 
I also made 3 postcards with stitched paper hearts for my 3 grandchildren. Here is a picture of 2 of the 3 cards. I forgot to take a picture of the 3rd before delivering it. ðŸ¤·‍♀️ It was like the bottom heart but in red thread.
