    I deemed President's Day to be Sewing Day. Great way to spend a day off. :) This is the first tote I've made. Made a few mistakes, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

    The Valentine quilt top is finished, but not backed. I love mitering the corners! Any suggestions on how to quilt it? (I do pretty simple machine quilting and this is a busy pattern, so I wouldn't want anything too complicated.)

    Love the Valentine wallhanging...and the way the pattern came out with the stripes. I'll have to keep that in mind when I do another Trip around the world quilt.

    Thanks. :) I love the Valentines quilt too, even if it does make you go a little cross-eyed if you look at it too long. haha

    Any suggestions for quilting it?? I really have no idea what to do with it!

    Cute tote. Love the Valentine quilt. Maybe simple diamonds would set it off nice.
