juliasb, thank you for the nice comment. When I used to be at work for many yrs., I always said to myself, I wish I was home sewing. We live in a small town that does not even have a theater and it is real boring. If I did not have my sewing room and lots of fabric, I would go nuts.
Your Valentine's quilt is beautiful. My DH and I work out of our home and it is a tug-of-war everyday between my desk and my sewing room (aka my Ladies' Lair). If I didn't sew all I would have to do other than work would be to clean the house, and as the t-shirt says "if God had wanted me to cook and clean he wouldn't have made am quilter." When I start a project my DH always says "well I'll see you in 3 months"
As I'm still grumpily not-retired, I love to see those that manage to make seasonal quilts on time - especially such sweet ones! I love this one you did!
