Love and Happiness


I told you last week I was working on a quilt for a friend. I called it Purple Smiles. Today, I am calling it Love and Happiness because of the smiles and hearts on it. It doesn't much matter what I call it, since I wasn't planning on naming the quilt for the label.


I am using the design couch instead of the design floor to avoid dog fur, although I did vacuum. This means I haven't been taking a lot of process photographs.



15 Minutes to Stitch: Week 25

I have been diligently working on this quilt. It is taking me much longer than anticipated, which I guess is normal. Since the photograph at the top of the blog, I have sewn all the rows together and have joined some of the rows as well. It looks really good to me. Hopefully it won't take too much longer to get the top done and quilted.

'Love and Happiness' is the perfect name for this lovely quilt-to-be, Shasta♥ Gazing upon those pretty fabrics and appliques and the words cause my heart to smile. I love the thought of a design couch. =)

Happiness gets stitched into most quilts. I have a design floor, table, bed but I've never used the couch. Good idea!

What an interesting array of blocks. I look forward to seeing them all put together.

Love that - design couch - I'd be tempted to take a nap on the design though, ha ha -

You've gotten a good start on your project. Congrats on a successful week of stitching. Hope this week is as good.

Love and Happiness is very cheery! My floor has dog and CAT fur so I understand the dilemma of finding a place to show progress...

We have the same "weeds" growing along the banks of the rice fields here in Japan now!
