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!!

  7. 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!
