Here is that thing I was sewing the other day. I am not super thrilled with it but perhaps that is lack of vitamin D and cabin fever. We are so snowed in around here. I was originally inspired by the wonderful mini quilts by Skyossa which are beyond lovely. The edging on mine got a bit annoying and messy.
I stuck squishy jewel-like hearts on the back door to cheer things up. I want to eat them they look so yummy.
your little quilt is charming! and i agree with the ediblity of those squishy things (when i first saw those type of things in stores, i thought they were for eating!)

Reading this about the squishy yummy hearts made me laugh. A friend gave my daughter (2 yrs at the time) a cat made of the same sticky stuff. One day I looked at the window and noticed half the head gone. You can see where this is going. She did indeed, chop whole heartedly down on the gummy, yummy kitty's head (they can't lie at 2 years old). No harm, no foul, but the kitty went in the garbage.

Tania, it's fantastic! i love the colors and the scribbly quality of the patch/drawing/embroidery. hooray!
i wish we could take some of your snow to LA. it's been a bit too hot and dry here for the season. February in Southern-California? it's just a suggestion...

Your mini quilt is so adorable!
I hear ya about the lack of vitamin D and the cabin fever - I am eagerly waiting for March and those first hints of spring!

I think your quilt is lovely! It's a bit hard to be cheery these days with all the snow, but I keep up hope by telling myself that it's almost March, and March has got to be better than this!
