As I walked through the grocery store and saw Valentine’s Day all around me, I decided to get started on some DIY Valentine stuff for the grandchildren.
I thought a simple, one hexagon block wall hanging would be cute.
I drew a picture of my grandson and me on muslin.
Then I drew hair and clothes on different fabric pieces.
I used Steam-a-Seam 2 Lite to adhere the drawings onto some of the memo fabric my brother sent me.
Rather than machine quilt, I have chosen to hand quilt this small block.
The rotating cutting mat was ideal for this project.
I had a piece of the Solar System fabric I used for his quilt, so I used it for his shirt.
He is a walking information station on the Solar System.
Since I love birds, I chose some of the last remaining pieces of my bird fabric.
This block is not finished yet. I need to complete the quilting and add some buttons or some type of embellishments. Not too many, though.
I have already drawn my granddaughter and myself.
I hope to get to it tomorrow after I run some errands and get a haircut.
Only 40 more days until Valentine’s Day!
Absolutely adorable! You are so talented and creative. Can’t wait to see your projects finished! 🙂
Thank you.
I love this! Your drawings are so wonderful and I noticed the cool shirts right away. 😄
PS Can I have some of your energy please? I’m still trying to finish up Christmas odds and ends projects! 🤪
Thank you, Abbie. ⚡️🌪💥
so cute! That looks like a fun project.
Oh my goodness that is awesome! That drawing is heartwarming! Okay no rest for you – now that you have taken on Valentine’s Day you might as well get working on Easter lol.
And my three sons have a half-birthday to celebrate in January, Groundhog Day, St. Patrick’s Day, incredible Kid Day,Marti Gras…I better get moving!
I love how you draw on fabric, it’s so beautiful and personal. I just got some fabric markers, but I haven’t played with them yet! This is so inspirational! ❤
Thank you, Sherry. I always find inspiration from you! I like the fabric crayons. I plan to play with the markers tomorrow.😊
