Gearing Up Your Quilting With Valentine’s Day Projects

Valentine’s Day already!

Yes, and if you make patchwork and quilting to sell, you must be thinking about this occasion now. Actually you must do more than think….you must have the products and promotions in place.

If you make gifts for Valentine’s Day, this is the time to get started if you haven’t already.

If you wait till the week before the event to start letting people know you’re ready for them to do their Valentine’s Day shopping with you, many sales will pass you by. Or you won’t have those special gifts ready for people you have in mind.

What have you been doing for Valentine’s Day?

Do you have special projects?

Joyce has been making heart designs at her J’s Quilting Blog. I don’t know that they’re especially for Valentine’s Day, but they caught my attention as I was browsing her delightful blog.

Check out her post, More Hearts. She also made some hearts here for a leukemia quilt, The Alternate Blocks. (Scroll down to the second photo.)

Why not share how you’re getting ready to make this a big day with gifts, your business, or simply fun projects?

Quilting & Patchwork participates in the February b5Media Artist Showcase , “From the Heart.” hosted by Noreen Crone-Findlay. I was so captivated by my daughter’s fabric Valentine postcards that I wanted to share them with my readers and at the showcase, in my post, “Creating Valentine’s Day Fabric Postcards.”

Other bloggers in b5 Media’s Arts & Crafts channel have shared ideas and projects with a “to the heart” theme. Enjoy!

Creating Valentine’s Day Fabric Postcards

As Valentine’s Day approaches, quilters often give gifts they’ve created with designs of hearts and love. My daughter participates in a fabric postcard exchange. Since it was near Valentine’s Day, Beth designed some of these with heart designs to send to her friends.

I found her cards enchanting and would like to share them with my readers. I particularly liked the one with two hearts.

Beth posted photos of her fabric postcards on her blog, Meandering Threads, if you’d like to see all of them and perhaps get ideas for postcards you can try.

Maybe you’ve made something with a heart design you’d like to share with us.
