LOVE!

As a challenge to myself in 2013....I will finish some quilting projects for myself!  I will!  You just watch and see!

Last Friday, I was working at The Quilted Forest and machine quilted a couple of panels to be used as shop samples.  Check out this adorable Valentine panel by titled "LOVE" by Robert Kaufman.


 I was so smitten I just had to bring one home for myself. (okay...so I actually brought home two) I decided that for my own project, I was just going to quilt it up very simply...and that's exactly what I did. I grabbed a ruler and my Clover Chaco Liner Pen and chalked a line diagonally from the upper left to the lower right corner of the panel. Layering my panel with batting and backing I sewed along that chalked line. Next I moved my ruler and chalked a line 2 inches from my initial line and sewed that. I kept that up on each side of my original line until the entire panel was completed!


 
I added a sleeve for hanging across the top on the back and I found some solid red fabric in my stash that matched to use for binding!  And just like that it's TaDone!
 
How easy was that?  You want to make one too, don't you?  Remember I said I picked up two panels?  Well, all you have to do is post a comment below and I will draw a winner at the end of the week and send you some LOVE!
