Valentine’s Day is just around the corner – can you believe it?!? I don’t know about you, but 2019 has already been a busy year for the Kennedy Clan!

Faye and I traveled to Dallas where I spoke at the Dallas Modern Quilt Guild and taught a full day workshop! We met a lot of very fun and talented women!

We had some wonderful guides who graciously took us on a tour of Dallas. We explored the Dallas Museum of Art, ate our weight in authentic BBQ, and we even took a call in the Oval Office…

We returned home to Minnesota just in time for a snow storm and then the polar vortex – brrr!

Let’s just say it’s been the weather I needed to force myself to hunker down on some projects – projects I’m excited to share with you soon!

It’s also been the perfect weather for me to start on my Valentines! I thought I’d try to get them out before St. Patrick’s Day this year…

Here are a few of my favorite motifs for you to try for your Valentine! Whether you’re making a vase quilt, a pillow case, cards or just practicing, here are some LOVE-ly motifs to get you going!
