My Day to Put a Little Love in Your Quilt!

Welcome to my stop on the 

Put a Little Love in your Quilt blog hop!  If you’re new here, 

just a little about myself.  I am a snowbird, dividing my time between Texas and Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada.  

I have the best of both worlds!  

It seems as though I’ve been quilting all of my life, 

yet I learn something new 

every day.

I have had a lot of fun preparing for this special day 

and I am glad you are here to share it with me.  

I don’t often participate in blog hops, but every once in awhile, 

one comes along and grabs me!  Such was the case with this one.

Last winter, I acquired a new pattern 

from Loft Creations called PaperDolls, 

but I knew I wasn’t going to have time to make it.  

I did, however, piece two dolls to test the pattern 

to see if it was as fun as it looked. 

Oh, yeah!  

I knew I’d revisit the pattern in the near future.  

The thought of paper dolls evoked 

such pleasant memories from my childhood.

Right about that same time, there was a call 

for heart blocks by Cluck Cluck Sew, 

so I whipped a few up and sent them off.  

I knew immediately that I wanted to combine the Paper Dolls 

with the heart blocks one day.

When Carol asked for hoppers, 

I couldn’t resist seeing this as my opportunity
to combine these two blocks somehow.  

Now, I’ve always had a fascination for Row quilts.  

I even collect them on a Pinterest board for that 'someday' that seldom seems to come along 

because there are just too many patterns and blocks and designs, 

and I want to make them all.  

Ahh, yes, another perfect opportunity!

At the same time, I won a fat quarter bundle
of Tilda Fabrics 
from Red Pepper Quilts, 

and when they arrived
in the mail,
everything fell into place.  

Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?

So, with a nod from Stephanie (it’s always nice to ask), I set to work.

Voila!  Introducing Sweet Reminiscence!

To thank you for visiting my blog today,
I do have a little give away.

I will use the Random Number Generator
to select four comments to win
"fondle your fabric" vinyl decals.

(As shown on The Scrapmaster's sewing machine!)

Being quick and easy to slip into the mail,
these allow me to open up the give away to international visitors
without having to be concerned about the rising costs of postage.
(I won't be choosing winners
until I return from a two week visit with friends
on February 19th.)

Please be sure to visit the other talented blog hoppers
on today's schedule, the last day of the hop,
as listed below.
I'm sure you'll be in for some great surprises!

A great big thank you to Carol
of Just Let Me Quilt
for a wonderful job setting this all up!
