It Is Time To Be Sweet On You

Joan at Moosestash Quilting had the perfect idea and challenge for February.
"Sweet on You" in the month of love gave us lots of ways to be creative!

CHALLENGE:

Are you sweet on treats?
Are you sweet on stitching a special project?
Are you sweet on, well anything you love?

As an ambassador for Benartex, they sent me some beautiful Valentine fabric to sew with.
I am definitely "sweet" on "Be My Gnomie" fabric!

Love and Kisses
55" x 75"


 "Be My Gnomie" is full of "sweet" designs, that's for sure!


Benartex Chalk Texture Pink and Light Pink, and Superior Solids White went great with it.


I went with a simple wandering stitch for quilting and yes, I machine quilt all my bindings.
Hand stitching those bindings are way too much for these old hands!



This is another project using "Be My Gnomie" that I made.


Look who else has been sharing their "Sweet on You" creativity:

  3. I knew you'd make something beautiful, but you made TWO things that are beautiful. I can't decide which I like best, but I do like the shape of the hearts in the first one and the border in the second one. That's a great line of fabric. They are lucky to have you as an ambassador!

  10. Both quilts are in the sweet variety. Love those hearts and Xs - not the run-of-the-usual and they have so much pizzazz. Totally sweet.

  14. Really cute quilts. I love the little gnome one, but that x & o is so clever. Your fabric choices are just perfect and I love the appliquéd x and o.

  15. Oh, so cute, Carol! Love your clever designs - I'm especially intrigued by the fun stamp-edge and woven ribbon effects in your borders on the 2nd quilt. I'm with you on the machine-binding! My fingers get tingly after about 10 minutes of hand-stitching.

  16. Love all your projects, but especially the Be My Gnomie. I got the panel but haven't had a chance to do anything with it yet.

  17. Love both your projects, but the heart quilt is my favorite. You gave a new look to a popular pattern. The fabric you used are beautiful!
