Happy Valentine’s Day! I thought I’d wait until today to share a fun project that I have featured in Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine Issue #44 with you all and, as luck would have it, my heart mini and a copy of the magazine arrived at my house just today.
I made this Heart shaped mini for Amy Sinibaldi’s Quilt Market booth last year and know that a few of you were wanting to know when a pattern would be available. Good news.… You can pick a copy of the magazine up at your local newsstand or, if you can’t wait, you can head over to Google Play or the App Store to download a copy now!
When I first came up with the idea for this mini I honestly thought I had bitten off more than I could chew. Those curved edges look a bit tricky but they really are quite simple and, if you follow the step by step photos for the deep point at the top of the heart, you’ll find it a breeze to make.
Love Patchwork is my favourite quilting magazine and they are so much fun to work with Each month when the magazine comes out I know it will be jam packed with the best projects, a tonne of information and plenty of inspiration. Issue #44 is no exception but it could well become a favourite considering that my good friend Kirsty from Bonjour Quilts also has a project featured!
Isn’t it great. Kirsty’s ‘Triangle Twist’ project is right after mine. I think she should send it to me since I love it so much! Such a great colour palette and such a gorgeous quilt!
I hope you all have a lovely Valentine’s Day!
Thank you Peta! You’ve given me a good reason to head to the bookstore today to buy a copy of the magazine. I have to make this mini…I love everything about it!
Such a gorgeous mini, Peta. I love an irregular edge so the heart shape is right up my alley. It was an honour to be in the same magazine as you! x x x x
This is a cute heart , really effective. Also loving the orange/ peach in triangle twist — bumper issue this time !
