I have always wanted to make a quilt for each of my children for the holidays. One for Christmas, Easter, Halloween and one for Valentines Day. I have four children, thats 16 quilts! I started a few years ago with a Valentine Quilt. I had appliqued some harts for another project and had some left over. That was the beginning. Then I wanted to include some of the cute little notes my children had written each other over the years. We have a tradition of putting a valentine box on the kitchen table the first week of February. That gives everyone a reminder that the day is fast approaching and you had better start thinking about something to do for your loved ones! I find that some people in my house need a little more reminding than others. Then on Valentines Day we have a formal dinner that includes heart shaped meat loaf and red mashed potatoes! After dinner open the box. So I have quite a collection of cards from over the years. It was difficult to pick my favorite. This is the end result!
