Friday is Valentines Day, and I thought that I would show you a couple of Valentines that were really made the hard way, out of ice at the Boyce Farmers' Market. It is being cut out of a slab of ice using first a power saw and then various hand tools. It was a cold morning, so we only stayed for a short time and didn't get to see the finished product.It was beautiful from pictures that I saw that others took later in the morning. This sculpture is a work of art that can only be enjoyed for a short time.
Yes, Valentines Day is coming up this week and my friend Barb had a great time making this series of wall hangings. She has used the Twister ruler and has made them from small to bedside quilts. She tells me she started to make them and just couldn't get stopped. How lovely they turned out and everyone are so different.
Today's quilt is in keeping of the color red for Valentines Day. Don't you just love the red tones in this red fabric. It is 102" x 117" and has all the blocks set on point. Carmel wasn't sure what this quilt was called but it is very striking. The pattern quilted on this is called Bubbles which gives it an all over texture. Remember that loved one on Valentines Day and keep the love in quilting! Gwenda
