Love to Sew, Sew for Love
As Valentine's Day approaches, it turns our mind to things we can sew to show those dearest to us that we love them. Because that's what we do as quilters - we put our love into fabric. To help make it easier to find some love themed projects, I've put together a little round up of some patterns that might suit.
Of course these don't need to be just for Valentine's Day - every day of the year is a great day to tell someone how much they mean to you - whether in a relationship, or for your family, or even for your fur babies! So here are a few pattern suggestions - something for everyone.
- Heartfelt - this foundation pieced pattern makes for a quilt full of love - or just make one block for a sweet cushion or wallhanging.
2. Simple Hearts - these little hearts come in a range of sizes from 3" up to 7" so it's perfect to fit any size project that you need.
3. Love in Script - for the text lovers out there
4. Heart on a Geometric Background - the perfect way to use up all your favourite scraps and create a big rainbow background!
5. Heart full of rainbow - a little mix and match of rainbows and hearts!
6. Geometric Heart - this one is geometric on the inside - looks great in one colour or go rainbow
7. Love Letter - a cute little way to show your love - and feature some fave fabrics
8. Love - a simple statement with a little love heart added in
9. Hug - a free download - because everyone needs a hug and this is a lovely fabric way to share it with someone. (It was inspired by Erin (@onceuponadonkey), and her friend RebeccaLyn (@makingrebeccalyn). To honour the sentiment behind this, this is a free pattern for personal use.)
10. XOXO - a simple patchwork + FPP quilt for the XOXO
Bonus! I Heart Sewing - okay so not technically Valentine's Day themed - but who doesn't love their sewing machine?
Hope you find something to inspire you to sew - whether it's for someone else, or sew just for you. Zero judgement here ;) If you love to foundation piece and are looking for more patterns, pop over and check out the shop. Happy sewing!
