Hearts On Fire Blog Hop ~ My Day!

At the heart of Peace is Love.

When Carol  @ Just Let Me Quilt announced this lovely blog hop.

I knew just what I wanted to make.

When I saw this pattern 

Totally Groovy

from

Want It, Need It, Quilt It @ Quilt Jane

I knew I wanted to make my own version.

The fabrics are ... 

a Blooming Bunch!

@ Moda Fabrics

My version features only the pieced heart and peace sign

in the center of her quilt.

Although I love the original quilt, I wanted a smaller wall hanging size.

I am very happy with this simplified version, which measures 40" square. 

I took this photo early one morning when the sun was on my design wall.

As it is winter in my quilty corner of the world,

the days are frequently cloudy.

On this day it dawned bright and true.

I chose pink for my center heart.

Pink has always represented friendship to me. 

My heart has been in pieces much of this year so far.

Even my sewing corner has been overshadowed by events.

I have been sewing or stitching everyday,

but I have been picking up whatever has appealed to me on any given day

and this has helped me.

Peace by Piece 

One Stitch at a Time.

Today my heart is filled with light and hope

Let the Sun Shine In! 

Let the Sun Shine In by the 5th Dimension

This is actually a song from 1969, not the 70s.

If you lived through this time, you know what a great period of unrest it was.

Now we look back on it with nostalgia

and remember the good times.

May the good times be all we remember of 2020 and 2021 ... someday.

I am quilting and hope to have a finished quilt to show you soon.

Stitch ~ Sew & Show 2021

 @ Life in the Scrapatch

 has begun! 

Thanks to My Girl for creating the perfect graphic

for my Linky Party!

The background color is Horizon ~ Kona Color of the Year

This is a very informal party ... no stress, no prizes, no finish needed.

This is just a place to share what you are working on with others

and enjoy their inspiration.

Think of it as sitting at home while stitching with a group of friends.

I have always enjoyed sharing with others and have received much kindness in return.

This is a way for me to say thank you and to encourage others.

Here is my current project:

This is a new start for an upcoming blog hop.

These fabrics are

 A Blooming Bunch by Maureen McCormick for Moda Fabrics

with a Kona Solid in the center.

Here are some of the pieces to the puzzle.

Here is a sneak peek at the project.

Any guesses as to what this is and for what blog hop?
