Quilting and Applique - Buy or Supply

I love quilts, especially ones like the little Beaver below that tell a story. I have tried my hand at quilting and used to love to piece the fabrics together. I have finished three of them and I do cherish each one because of the time it takes to make these handmade treasures. They are pieces that are cherished forever and handed down as heirlooms. Maybe buying quilts is your thing -- if not buying, how about trying to make one on your own. Here are some fabrics, threads and a how to book to get you started or visit How To Quilt, this site has a wealth of quilting information to get you started and beyond.

For Valentine's Day

I give you the Smitten. I came across the Smitten yesterday and fell in love with this. What is a Smitten, it's a mitten for you and your lover to wear while you're holding hands on those long romantic walks in the winter. It can also be worn individually as a muff, how adorable is that and just in time for Valentine's Day. I think all of you knitters can whip this up in no time and have it ready for some winter walks this year. I came across the Smitten at cocoknits. It is designed by Julie Weisenberger and there is a free downloadable pattern available.

Can you guess what movie I'm referring to by all of these Etsy finds? Can you piece together the title of this famous movie from the clues below -- it's a pretty easy one and there are more clues under My Favorites at the right. The answer will be in my next post.
