For Valentine’s Day, Jason and I exchanged some yummy treats this year. For dinner, he brought me my favorite pizza from Papa Johns (heart shaped of course!) and some sweet treats for dessert. A friend of mine makes hand-dipped chocolate caramel pretzels and they are my absolute favorites.
This was dinner last night and breakfast this morning. Perfect energy for a day of sewing!
Not to be outdone, I got Jason’s favorite treat: a log roll ice cream cake from Baskin-Robbins.
This is what’s left of the cake once I thought about taking a picture of it.
It came with yummy chocolate hearts on top and of course they were the first to go!
Just so I can make this post a little more quilting-related, here’s a picture of a cute Valentine’s Day quilt I display each year:
It’s made using 3 inch squares with “snowball” corners for the top half of the heart and triangles for the bottom half. I surrounded it with pieced sashing to add interest.
I love Valentine’s day! And never mind being an expert – just keep sewing and enjoying it!!
I LOVE that quilt! Sewing and Valentine’s Day are two of my very favorite things, although I am not quite an expert at sewing yet (but very much an expert at Valentine’s Day!)… anyway, the quilt is beautiful! I can only hope to create something so magical someday!
