Slow Sunday Stitching!

I've haven't posted about any hand work for several weeks. But I took a break from another project and sat down and watched a little of the Super Bowl and finished up the last binding on 5 little 36 patch quilts. Just what I needed - soothing hand work and a "finish"!!!! Several months ago, I bought myself a couple charm packs of some French General fabrics. I cut the Rouenneries into 2 1/2" squares and then stitched 4 patches. I really didn't know what I was going to do with them - but then I thought they'd make cute little Valentine quilts for the girls!



I know that there are only 3 in the photo - I sent two of them home last weekend when our son and dil visited - she took one to our youngest daughter. You can go here to see Mollie's.

Definitely very cute for little girls ... and sweet colors, too!! Did you enjoy the game ... or was it just passive interest? I'm a Raven's fan, so even though I was in knots for the last 45 minutes of the game, I was *very* pleased!! Have a great week!! :)
