Today’s quilted heart is made for 4/20 Day.
Today is globally recognized as the unofficial holiday for cannabis culture. In 1971 5 California students used "420" as code to meet at 4:20 p.m. to search for an abandoned pot crop.

Now it all makes sense why you’re cranking out so many quilts.
Your comment just blows me away! I appreciate it.
I’m so flattered by your comment. Don’t look too closely. It’s far from perfect but I’m working on getting things to line up better.
None of my friends sew or even do crafts. They like the finished product but have no idea what emotions are involved. I will say my husband is very supportive. He encourages me to buy more fabric and really wants me to get a new sewing machine. I’m not ready for that yet. More fabric? Absolutely!
I totally understand your excitement.
I buy bags of those scraps at thrift stores. I absolutely love using all that beautiful, unwanted quilting cotton fabric.
💕
I’m absolutely flattered. I appreciate your kind words.
Thank you so much.
Thanks
That’s really pretty! I like the size of the blocks and the arrangement with half blocks along the sides. That’s a little advanced for my skills. 😜
I grew up in the Dells
Why thank you. It’s just starting up again. It’s been an awful week. Lots of tornado and hail damage and flooding too.
Thank you. This is probably the only type of quilt I can make that wouldn’t show every single mistake I made.
String quilt #3 is finished and I made some quilted hearts from the #stringquilt scraps.

I’m rooting for Rory!
I like your way of thinking.
Today’s quilted heart is made for Golfer's Day.
The Professional Golf Association (PGA) was founded on this day in 1916 and the first professional golf tournament was held at the Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, New York.

I have a huge stockpile of hearts. They really don’t take long to make so it’s nothing for me to make 5 or 6 in a day. I “sow” them all over the place. Grocery stores, hiking trails, at rest stops, basically wherever we go and wherever I see a good spot to leave or hang one. 💙
Today’s quilted heart is made for National Chicken Little Awareness Day. #ChickenLittle is a folk tale about a chick who thinks the world is coming to an end because something, usually a nut such as an acorn, fell on its head. We have a nut in the WH so watch out!

I thought more like cabin fever!
Good lord, will the winter of 1936 ever end?
It looks like a pretty good sized one too. They can be such pests, especially at this time of year.
Today’s quilted heart is made for International Beaver Day. A nonprofit group called Beavers: Wetlands & Wildlife chose April 7 as the date because it is the birthday of Dorothy Richards, a woman who had studied beavers for almost 50 years in upstate NY.

Lucky you live where they start this early. We won’t be planting a garden for close to two months from now!
Today’s quilted heart is made from the same scrap of fabric that had the broccoli on it. Today is Fresh Tomato Day. Why it’s in April is beyond me!

Today’s quilted heart was made for tonight’s full moon, called the Pink Full Moon. It’s named after Phlox subulata (“moss pink”), a vibrant early spring wildflower.
