Valentine’s Projects Round Up
With the release of the free Lotta Love Blocks pattern, I’ve got all things Valentine’s on the brain. And there’s no shortage of heart-themed projects available on the blog, so if you’re looking to celebrate the holiday this month or anytime you want to show some love, read on!
Hearts Aren’t Just for Valentine’s
It’s no secret that hearts are a classic motif in quilting and for good reason. At its core, quilting is an act of making that lets us produce a tangible, tactile expression of our love for ourselves or others. Of course, that sometimes takes the form of the most classic symbol of love — the heart. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I thought it would be fun to put together some Heart of Hearts mockups that would be a joy to create any time of year. Enjoy some eye candy and a discount code on the Heart of Hearts pattern!
Heart Big-Stitch Binding Tutorial and Supply Recommendations
While working on the test quilts for my Heart of Hearts pattern, I got the idea to add a little something to the binding. I love to do big-stitch binding because it’s quick and easy and adds another noticeable handmade touch to my quilts, but I wanted to incorporate another element into the binding to make it even more special. So I thought, why not hearts? I was so pleased with the result that I put together a little video to show you how to do it, too!
