I haven't really sewn anything since before Thanksgiving last year. It has been so long since I've been able to live my normal life but I'm getting better. And I'm reclaiming my sewing machine.
I decided to ease with short spurts of sewing and with a simple project. I made this table heart above a couple years ago. I needed a gift for a friend and thought it was a perfect little project to remake.
I love working with 2.5" squares. And I really think valentine fabrics are so sweet. I used a combination of reds from my stash including some Pam Kitty fabrics.
I trimmed the heart and sandwiched the heart with a batting scrap and some valentine fabric. Then I machine quilted the blocks in an X pattern. Simple. Still, even with a simple project, I had some unpicking to do. I'm just a little rusty but I'll get it all back, soon.
All of you that are sewing along with Lori, you can put some squares together, too. See Lori's blog and The Jolly Jabber for instructions. Patchwork squares make me happy.

Oh that is just darling! Thank you for the inspiration! Glad you are back to your machine.
I'm really happy that you were able to get some sewing done. What a cute heart :)
So beautiful !!!!! I love it !!!!
:)
So cute! Maybe not so rusty, your projects are so pretty!
So sweet!
Very Sweet Nanette! I hope this means that your back is feeling better and that you'll soon be back at it full steam ahead. You've been missed!!!
This is so cute... you have inspired me to get busy.. now I just need to get back to my sewing room!
xo
I remember seeing your heart and loving it - might just have to try and make me one! I was back in my sewing room for the 1st time (since September!!) yesterday and it felt so good...need more of that kind of thing! Glad you are on the mend - keep it up! xo, Nan
You have a beautiful heart. It will be a treasured gift to your friend. Hanging on my wall right now is one of my first quilts. It was made from your free heart banner pattern many years ago. I love this quilt. Thank you, Nanette, for sharing your pattern and your beautiful heart ... <3 Pat
Such a cute heart. I love the binding. Isn't it strange to be out of practice with sewing? I finally got behind my sewing machine, but it felt awkward at first. I want to quilt a top. That should be interesting. Glad you're feeling well enough to get back though.
I think that little bit of rustiness will fade very quickly! The heart is so darling... what a great gift for Valentine's Day.
Glad you are feeling better!
Good for you! That will be darling!

Very happy your able to be back at your sewing ,I look forward to all your posts with your neat things you do. Take your time ad enjoy what you can do and don't push too hard, I did that and it was the biggest mistake several years ago and I still pay for it daily. Blessings to you and your sweet family, Marie
Sweet little heart, so pretty and cheerful. Love the girls and boys peeking through the squares :)
Nanette, only YOU would make a perfect little piece like that and then say you are rusty! It is gorgeous. Really. Glad to see you back doing what you love.
I am so glad you posted this, its perfect! I need to give something to Josh's mom. She is coming for a week to help when I get my tonsils out. Thanks
This is really sweet. I should stitch one up to use on my kitchen island. You always do the sweetest projects and quilts!
I'm glad you are feeling up to some sewing now. The heart is really cute. I'm sure your friend will enjoy it.
