All things hearts . . .

All wrapped up and ready to go . . .


 I really do LOVE all-things-hearts and it's been such fun making and getting goodies together for the All4MeggyMoo I Love Hearts Swap.  This time, I remembered to take some pics before I wrapped them too, but I can't show you yet until Hazel receives them.  Watch this space . . .
 

I've been sewing a wee bit this afternoon too, but in an attempt to distract from the fact that I'm still trying to get Row 10 finished (Row 11 arrived in my inbox this morning), I thought I'd take some pics of this lovely Bee in my Bonnet Row Along quilt so far.


 I'm not sure in what order Lori will have us piece the rows together, as we've a few more rows to go still, but I love how they all are so unique.  Happy, cheery rows  : - )


{And another cute pups pic, just because I think it's such a sweet one and wanted to share it with you } 


And finally, a brief glimpse of my Row 10 in progress . . .
2 little houses built, 3 to go.


Hope you're having a hearty, happy week,
xoxo

  1. Of course, your houses are amazing! I love the beautiful fabric you chose! I'm going to start my next row this weekend. So glad the doggies are doing well...don't you just want to cover those faces with kisses! I do that so much that Charlie and Lola just roll their eyes...

    Thanks for sharing!
