Pretty in Pink

Hello lovely readers..........we are in the pink today with lots of sweet pink makes for the coming valentine season.......

...........beginning with a postage stamp pincushion made with small scraps of pretty pink prints left over from another project.......these are all moda fabrics......apart from the backing which is a tilda fabric....

..........with an added red wooden heart button.........

.....and a piece of ribbon saying *love* from this reel i've had for a while.........

..........we have also been enjoying my pink scrappy vintage hearts quilt...........

..........this is a checkerboard quilt with tiny pink hearts stitched on the white squares.......

..........it uses many of my favourite scraps and i love to see them all whenever i get out this quilt again......

.........collecting and saving fabric scraps is something i've always done and using them has often inspired me........and of course there's no waste if you use up scraps :)..........

..........below is my pink vintage charm quilt along with the pixie girl........

.........charm squares in low volume and pink fabrics and some appliqué roses here and there......the patterns for this, for the vintage hearts quilt and for the red and white postage stamp pincushion can all be found in my etsy shop link in sidebar.......

.........i hope january has started well for you.....i have been enjoying the quiet times, the peaceful days of sewing and making soup, tidying away christmas things, catching up with household tasks and making plans for the year ahead......and reading a lot too......i did a bit of gardening but it was very wet and very cold so all i've done outside this week is tidy up the greenhouse and neaten up the tiny auricula plants.....

...........wishing you a happy week dear readers wherever you may be, whether enjoying summer sunshine or keeping cosy during the winter chills.........thank you for dropping by and leaving me kind comments.......take care lovelies..................peace and love..........back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
