Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

I LOVE Valentine's day, and I love Valentine/heart quilts and fabrics. I also love music. I made the above quilt as a wedding gift for some musician friends of mine. The pattern is an easy stack and whack. I made one with bright pinks and black/white fabrics also.
It's fun to get the heart quilts out every February. Here is one I made for our bed...It has flying geese all around, even on top, but the border has been folded back (it's a super queen).

It was too tall for the show it hung in, and it is hard to get a good picture of it on our bed due to the foot board. It was in a Nancy Halvorsen book; I think the name of the book was "Best Friends."
My BFF Ola and I teamed up on the next one for a sample for the shop where we work (The Quilting Season, Saline, Michigan). We personalized one of the nine blocks and gave it to my young daughter. It was an Australian stitchery BOM pattern called "Love Is" (Rosie Quinlan, I think).
I also love making applique hearts in all colors for small wall hangings and table toppers.
I've been collecting Valentine and heart fabrics for a long time and need to make a big scrappy quilt...maybe for next year!
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
