  Valentine’s Day brings many thoughts to mind and can revolve around numerous activities.  Caring and sharing, giving thoughtful gifts and cards, special foods and favors, creating memories that last throughout the years.

What can quilters and fabric artists do for Valentine’s Day?

  1. 1. Make fabric Valentine postcards with lace and flowers and old-fashioned themes.
  2. Hold a Valentine’s Day quilting bee or gathering with each working on hearts and flowers themed pieces.
  3. Exchange Valentine colored fabrics and those with heart designs.
  4. Arrange a grab bag of accessories for quilting friends to select from.  
  5. Or make small bags of accessories you give as favors…containing lace, buttons, charms and threads and yarns.
  6. Organize a Valentine’s cookie exchange at a gathering.
  7.  Have a family party with Valentine’s, treats, and something you’ve made from your stash.

What do you do for Valentine’s Day in your quilting world?

Do you make cards and postcards to share?  Between now and Valentine’s Day, share some of your ideas of cards and gifts you give to family, friends, and fellow quilters.
