More Valentines!!

I wanted to share the Valentine that JoAnne who blogs at A Patriotic Quilter sent me.



JoAnne is a wonderful quilter! If you have not visited JoAnne's blog, you need to.....she shares her quilting projects on her blog, and trust me she is amazing! I was so excited to swap Valentines with JoAnne!

Like Meri she sent an email saying she was using a different medium....I was hoping she'd use fabric.

And she did!


JoAnne used a vintage dresser scarf for this Valentine. I love vintage linens! She edged with it ric rac and lace, added few heart shape buttons, and satin flowers.


JoAnne used a vintage flour sack for the backing!

Another creative Valentine to add to my growing collection!

More Valentines from swap partners coming up!!

    Oh My! I just love this sweet valentine. Such talent and creativity here. Maybe, I could cut up a vintage piece...it's so hard for me - but look at this treasure!

    Oh my goodness, I'm totally blushing! Thanks for all the lovely comments about my work and the link to my blog! It was lots of fun swapping with you and I'd love to participate again. Maybe for something on Flag Day/July 4th,--you know, something patriotic? LOL!

    Oh, and for all of you hesitant to cut up a vintage linen, this one had a hole in it.

    Oh now isn't this the best idea for a pillowcase that can no longer be used in the traditional sense? I love it!

    SO pretty, front and back! I wish I didn't have such a hard time cutting up vintage pieces of fabric, because I see so many beautiful things made from them, like this heart. It's a real treasure!
