Do you ever feel like heaven is smiling on you? 2020 was a pretty difficult year for so many (if not all) of us in one ay or another. I think the phrase “Hindsight is 20/20” is so appropriate as I look back on the year 2020 and see so much growth and so many blessings. Personally, through my own trials, I now see the hand of God in my life. It wasn’t always easy to recognize last year but I'm learning how. Dave and I frequently hike in a canyon located near our home. My friend Emily has been finding heart rocks for awhile now and I remember being sad because I couldn’t ever “see” them. Then one day on our hike, we came upon a whole collection of heart rocks just to the side of the trail. We soon learned that a group of ladies who we often pass on the trail are the ones who collect those heart rocks and place them in a special spot in memory of their friend who passed away. Around this same time, I was dealing with my Dad passing away and all the heartache that came with that. I was also not expecting the emotions that came back up for me regarding my Mom’s passing over 8 years ago. Even though I was surrounded by family, I was feeling deep loneliness and a void having now lost both of my parents. Needless to say, I was dealing with a lot of grief and sadness. Then one day on a hike, it happened. I started seeing heart rocks. In fact, I couldn’t stop seeing them. They were EVERYWHERE. It was so fascinating to me! It was also a very humbling experience. I felt God’s love wash over me. I felt and knew that my parents, reunited once again, were unseen by me but close by. It felt like God was showering me with His love by showing me that it is actually always around me in abundance. I just need to slow down and recognize it for what it is. What does all this have to do with this quilt, you ask? Well, as I was gathering Valentine fabrics for the shop and contemplating what kind of bundle I should offer, I remembered my Halloween patchwork quilt and how simple sometimes is best. If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that patchwork quilts are my one true love (they’re classic and so simple!). But as I started thinking about making yet another patchwork quilt, the idea came to my mind to make a Valentine patchwork quilt but to add a few hearts, scattered here and there. It’s still classic patchwork, plus a little love. It reminds me that God sprinkles (and sometimes showers) us with His perfect love. And so I give you, the “Love Drops” quilt. I’d love for you to make one for yourself or for someone you feel needs a bit of love in their life. It’s a super fast quilt to make and I hope you love it as much as I do!

Communication in your own language can be difficult. Communication between two people who don't speak the same language is really difficult. The good thing is that quilters can communicate without speaking. Whether it is a modern or traditional quilt, the voice of the maker can be heard without saying a word. One way quilters express this form of communication is through a quilt show. The Nurtingen quilt guild—a local guild in the area—held their triennial quilt show this past March, and it was wonderful. There were quilts of all types, sizes, and themes. They even had an area for coffee and Kuchen (cake), with all the desserts provided by the guild members. I thought I would share some of the quilts from the show.

As a Science teacher I love the idea of quilts with links to Maths and Science. This Mini quilt is based on the Fibonacci sequence. This was a fun project - I used scraps of solids and kept adding blocks until it felt like a decent size. I'm definitely a convert to spray basting after quilting this quilt. So much quicker when you don't have to remove safety pins and so many less wrinkles. I think this might be oft hang in my Science Lab for a while!
