Heart of the Home :: Pattern Release!

These are trying times for everyone and it isn't always easy!  While we shelter in place it's important that we stay in contact with friends and loved ones.  Maybe that's with a phone call, a letter or video chat.  How ever you reach out, letting someone know you are thinking of them and that they are not alone is so important.

I was thinking how home has been our safe haven these days and social distancing is becoming the norm.  For good reason.  I decided to design a small paper pieced block that captures the home and heart of our current state in which we find ourselves.
HEART OF THE HOME šŸ’— LARGE HEART
I designed two (2) patterns because I couldn't decide if I liked the large heart or small heart best!  

Each pattern has templates to make 4", 6" or 8" blocks.  The choice is yours! 

HEART OF THE HOME šŸ’— SMALL HEART
You could easily pop a 'Heart of the Home' mini quilt into an envelope to surprise a loved one!  Let them know you are thinking about them!

I'll admit...I've made several tiny homes already!  They are so much fun to customize!  

4" LARGE HEART
All you need are a few scraps of fabric to build your home to suit your style.  Prints or solids, it's in your hands!


   
One part that I find super fun to play with are the windows!  You can fussy cut small prints to add even more personality to your home.

 

After quilting it's on to binding!  I have a tutorial for that:  Mini Mini Binding Tutorial.


I could see an entire neighborhood of tiny houses.  A Utopia!  My imagined place in which everything is perfect!!
