Happy Valentine's day!!! Earlier in my years as a quilter, I was just obsessed by hearts. I made dozens of heart quilts, and gave most of them away. I found a few this morning, and thought I would share them with you to celebrate the day of the "HEART"!! Above is my attempt at a color wash heart quilt...twenty years old, or thereabouts.
A little heart quilt, with smaller than one inch hearts on this one...it is hanging in my bathroom, thus the ribbon hanging from it.
A blue hearts quilt!! I was trying to use decorative stitches to define the blocks...my Walmart sewing machine had a grand total of 7 different stitches at that time...
Another one in pink...I tried to put a little flange...pretty uneven but I thought it was purty!!!
Then I made a big heart quilt!! Hand quilted this one in every heart. Maybe I will have a young person in my life that would like this one, one day!!
My precious quilt from Anne Bebbington...please see her blog here!! A gift from her...I love it! She lives in England, and is a wonderful quilter and mother!
Another one...don't know what I was thinking here at all....
Solids!! Echo quilted on my little Walmart machine, so many years ago..
And more and more!! So you can see, I love hearts!! It is a good thing I am a heart nurse...it all seems to fit!!
Have a great day, everyone!! Hope you have a wonderful Valentine's day!!

I love them all! Even the ;what was I thinking' one. Happy Valentine's Day!
What a great collection! I love hearts too. Your colourwash one still looks quite good to me. And no, I don't know what you were thinking on that wobbly one either. But I love that you still had the courage to post the photo! None of us bat 1000, but not everyone likes to admit it. Happy Valentine's Day!
When your on a good theme stick to it! So no hearts made by strings?
Haha.....you sure had a heart thing going on! Happy Valentine's day to you bloggy friend! It was yesterday for us down here in NZ :-)

Happy Valentine's Day to you! I do love all your little heart quilts.
I am blessed to have a Julie heart quilt in my house... and I love it!
Aren't your heart quilts adorable!
How cute! Do you hang any of them by your desk or in the hallway at the hospital? They would be perfect for a heart floor.
Wow. Those are all adorable. The people that received them are lucky!
What a treat to revisit the one I sent you and the others are all gorgeous - happy heart day to one of life's special heart people
What a great collection of hearts! Fun to see them all together!
