Love in Your Quilt Blog Hop

Welcome! 
Today is my day to post! 

"Put A Little Love In Your Quilt Blog Hop" 
sounded like fun and non-stressful to me. 
I emailed Carol, of Just Let Me Quilt and told her I would join in. 
(Thank you, Carol, for a great blog hop!)

 Have you been following along? Have you found an ideas you would like to try?
I have 2 things to show you today. 

First, and quickly, I had a quilt with a scissors cut in it. 
I appliqued a heart over the hole, right through all the layers. 

In a different place on the back, I added another heart carry through with the theme. 
It is a charity quilt and I am sure a toddler will like it.

The project I have to show you is a little (6" x 9") Valentine's Day mug rug.

The "Bee Mine" embroidery pattern from Marian, of Seams To Be Sew,
caught my eye the moment I saw it.
This 4" x 4" embroidery, which was free on the day I visited.
I like the quality of her machine embroidery. 
This machine embroidery design, in 6 sizes, can be purchased on Craftsy
For hand embroidery and/or free motion quilting, a bundle can be purchased. It has all of the 14 continuous line designs, and SVG files, in 9 sizes from 3" to 12".

chose two print fabrics that coordinated with the pink I used for the embroidered section. 
I sent it to my daughter in Seattle as an early Valentine gift.

A friend asked me how I did the binding. 
Tomorrow I will post a tutorial on the binding--done completely by machine.
Please visit tomorrow.
