Love All Around Mini
Hello again!
Our friend Lee over at May Chappell asked if we wanted to help share about her new project for 2017 using her "Love All Around" block pattern and, of course, we said "yes!" :)
Lee shares that she designed this block to celebrate love and kindness. Certainly, in today's world, there is always room for more of both of those things! Lee plans to make a block whenever she sees these things displayed this year and is looking forward to having a sea of heart blocks at the end of 2017. What a great sentiment, right?
Check out her free tutorial for the block here.
I decided to make a mini to add to my mini wall at work ... I figured it would be a good reminder to stay positive and be kind, even when others might not be or when things seem to be going totally bonkers.
This little 8" block was easy to piece and I put together this 10" mini quilt in about an hour, including the machine binding!
I had a layer cake of Regent Street Lawns and I thought these pretty florals would be perfect. The lawns are a dream to sew with - so soft and silky! The background and binding is Crossweave Graphite and it adds just a hint of sheen.
I did some simple straight line quilting, but free motion would look great also!
Hope you'll pop over and say hello to Lee and maybe even stitch up some love and positivity this weekend!
Happy sewing!
