A Valentine





"Love"
The first for this year, a classic wall hanging. This was made using the "Love is in the air" charm pack from moda (thanks Nat!)and some solid pink and yellow batiks. The white, well I couldn't find my white fabric, so Snoopy is made out of a Lands End no-iron pinpoint shirt (sorry Steve, i'll replace it). There wasn't a pattern for this, I got the idea because of MT and wanted to create a Snoopy, I was looking at the Peanuts fabric that is interspersed with the charm squares, there was one Snoopy holding a Woodstock. So I sketched it out, created a pattern (pattern available!) and began the applique work.
I made two of these, one went to MT and the other I delivered to Bec because i've been wanting to surprise her with something for ages! Look back over my blog, she always leaves such thoughtful comments, I really wanted to give this to her. Okay, so even though CJ was outside, I duct taped it to her door (sorry if that causes problems), took a picture and ran (well not really ran, that just sounds dramatic). Happy Valentines a bit early!
