Valentine Love Bunnies Pillow

I love those chocolate Easter bunnies...do you eat the ears first? I do, I do!

There's no chocolate involved in the "Valentine Love Bunnies" pillow, but there is 

definitely a lot of love happening between those two sweethearts. Very sweet!

I'm sharing some tips on the ThermOWeb blog today about using their products to easily put

 this pillow together. Check it out and roam around a bit to see other amazing projects.

Heat n Bond Fusible Interfacing

 EZ Print Lite Sheets (I love these printable sheets!)

Spray n Bond Basting Adhesive

Fabric Fuse Adhesive

Purple Tape

And...

Lucky me, I get to teach a raw edge applique class at Quilted Works on January 30th
for two Valentine pillows. They laser cut their kits so it's even easier to put them together.

You can find the patterns in Just Let Me Quilt's Etsy store HERE.

Fabrics are Riley Blake Designs "So Ruby" by Carina Gardner.

Riley Blake Designs' "So Ruby" Fabric Is Beautifully Red And White

Making a red and white quilt has been on my to-do list for a long time, so when I was asked

by Riley Blake Designs if I would sew something with "So Ruby" I was totally in! It's red,

it's white, and it's beautiful...it made my dream come true for a red and white quilt.

Ruby Rabbit's Garden
Finished size: 42" x 50"

"So Ruby" has a lot of variety in its red and white fabrics by Carina Gardner.

A little checkerboard look for Ruby Rabbit's Garden.

A ruffle is a sweet addition to this garden.

Fabric flowers and buttons...a great combination!

The flowers are easy and fast to make:

Cut five 3 ½” x 3 ½” squares for each flower.

Fold squares in half diagonally; press. Fold in half again diagonally; press. 

Repeat to make five petals.

Using embroidery thread or a double strand of thread, sew a basting 

stitch along raw edge of all five petals to join them.

Pull needle to gather thread and petals together into a circle. 

Sew a small knotted stitch to join petals. 

Stitch flower in place and sew a button over opening.

*Just a note about washing this quilt: Yes, I washed it before taking this picture. No, the colors
did not run because I threw a Shout Color Catcher into the wash with it. I love these sheets!
Prewashing red fabrics is usually a good idea, but I didn't do that. I put a lot of faith in these
sheets and have never had the dyes in a quilt run. Let's hope there's never a "first time", but so
 far I'm happy using them! You can find them at grocery stores, Target, Walmart, and Amazon.
