Celebrating with Needle and Thread

Valentine wreath on our front door

Today I'll be short on words as I share some of the Valentine-related crafts and sewing (mostly sewing) that we've pulled out to embellish the season. Over many years of marriage, the completed projects really accumulate!

simple little runner made of scraps on hand

"Rail Fence" pattern adapts well with to any season/color/theme

made in an afternoon, mostly on the sewing machine.

from JoAnn's Fabrics and Crafts - sometimes it's simpler to just buy instead of sew!

Happy Valentine's Day from my household to yours!

Post Script: Thank you to the many new friends who stopped by to read my last post and left comments. And thank you to Vee for steering them my way. I enjoyed visiting blogs I had not seen before. You all have such wonderful things to share and blogging is a wonderful way to do it!

I want you all to know the problem that had Beloved and me waiting for so long was beautifully settled late last week. The "How to Wait" blog post was a reprise (for me, more than anyone else) of things I learned during the waiting process. 

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!
