Sew We Quilt

I've been sewing like a mad woman and it is now time to share 
my parade of Hugs and  Kisses projects.
 
I luv embroidered tea towels with and without the crocheted edgings!!
The angel stitchery is a free design by Michelle Ridgway called Heavenly Friends...
Michelle is an Australian designer with patterns for sale on her blog.
I luv her designs...she sure has lots of cuteness to stitch!

The 4 patch heart stitchery is a pattern from Birdbrain Designs.
Robin offers lots of free stitchery designs and 
has just added a few new designs to her website.

Next up is a pillow, also a free stitchery design by Lynette Anderson.
I did not follow Lynette's instructions to make the pillow
 I enlarged the stitchery and used a  
9-1/2" (unfinshed) background square.
The 4 red fabrics are cut at 2" wide and the taupe fabric is cut at 2-1/2" wide.
I combined 2 of Lynette's fabric lines
Scandinavian Christmas and Christmas Fun fabrics.
The Christmas Fun fabrics are available at Crazyquiltgirl.
~~~~~~~~~~~
My next project is a Valentine quilt...58" x 58".
Here it is hanging on the clothes line....snow on the ground.
the colors are a bit off
I bought the fabric about 5 or 6 years ago and stashed it
.....until last week.   
I told you I was sewing like a mad woman! 
It was a panel of 9 vintage Valentine hankies with 
coordinating Be My Valentine fabrics by Exclusively Quilters
...this picture has better color 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My last project is a table runner....I luv it's simplicity! 
 
It is a free pattern by  Sherri at A Quilting Life
I quilted it with hearts and daisies, and finished it with a 2 fabric binding. 

I used some of the left over fabrics from the quilt to make the table runner....
and still have fabric left to make another one.  
So....let's have a giveaway....
