Every February the world talks about true love, and every quilter quietly nods, because she found hers years ago in a fabric store. Valentine Specials is our collection of love notes to the craft: sweet sayings with hearts tucked into the letters, rainbow declarations of devotion, and one very romantic rabbit. Think of it as a box of valentines from quilters, for quilters.
Words straight from the heart
Piece. Love. Quilting. says it in three calm words, lettered in cool teal and violet with a heart standing in for the o. Binding Is My Love Language glows in soft pink and gold, a little heart finishing the last word the way a neat corner finishes a quilt. If your idea of a romantic evening involves hand stitching a binding while something good plays on television, these two already understand you.
Love notes in full rainbow
Some valentines whisper and some sing out loud. Quilters Gonna Quilt sets its striped letters in a rainbow sweep with a heart underneath, as sure of itself as true love should be. Life Is Better With Quilts scatters hearts and a pair of scissors among its bright letters, and Quilters Never Cut Corners splashes a heart into its gradient lettering as a promise any sweetheart would be glad to receive. And for the quilter who loves with a wicked grin, there is Sewciopath in simple purple script, a declaration of devotion with just a touch of mischief.
A slower kind of romance
Live Life One Stitch at a Time is the gentle one, framed with a small heart and a sprinkle of stars, in warm peach on sky blue or crisp white on valentine red. It reads like advice from a grandmother who knew how to make things last. Beside it sits Clover Cottontail, a rabbit in soft watercolor seated at a wooden table, hand stitching a star quilt as the fabric spills over the edge. There is nothing hurried about her. That is the whole romance.
For your quilting valentine
This collection belongs to the friend who remembers your favorite fabric line, the sister who still keeps the first quilt you ever made her, and the guild buddies you celebrate every February over cookies and a stack of fat quarters. You know who has held your heart through every crooked seam. Tuck a little love into her day. After all, a quilt is really just a valentine you can sleep under.
