Happy Valentine’s Day!!

I’m saying it with hearts…quilted hearts that is!!  Thanks to Kathy, my quilting buddy from home, you are getting just that!!

Kathy made this sweet little wall hanging this year.  The symbols represent  Love, Peace and Joy.  This little quilt could serve you well for Chinese New Year AND Valentine’s Day!!  It’s gorgeous made out of Asian fabrics..

Kathy’s adorable mug mat was made with appliques that she cut out using her Christmas present, a Slice fabrique which is a cordless fabric cutter. 

A SLICE is like a mini GO! Cutter only a lot smaller.  Here is a picture one…

The SLICE Fabrique is a revolutionary fabric-cutting tool that makes quilting easier and faster. In a matter of seconds you can cut out intricate pieces of fabric for applique. If you do a lot of applique then this is the machine for you!  The SLICE Fabrique works with design cards specifically customized for fabric so you can cut alphabets, numbers, flowers, icons, basic shapes (like hearts), and more.  Go ahead and check them out HERE!

You just apply a fusible web to your cotton fabric, wool or flannel and you are ready to start Slicing.  You dial in your shape, then punch in the size of the shape…I believe the largest size is 4 inches..and PRESTO you have that shape tailored to the size you want!  (The size is its only limitation as you can’t do anything bigger than 4 inches.)  It’s pretty nifty!

I see JoAnn’s Fabric and Crafts is selling them on SALE for $104.95. Hmmmm…maybe my honey pie would like a SLICE for Valentine’s Day???  It’s a thought…don’t cha’think?  Your sweetie would probably like one too!!

Thanks Kathy for sharing your gorgeous Valentine’s Day projects with us!!

Have a marvellous Monday and  Happy Quilting!  Oh…and I hope your Valentine’s Day is A SLICE!! ~P
