think I could send enough Hugs and Kisses to Madame Samm for her endless

to Cheerleader Jane for doing all the organizing for this hop…
there’s lots going on behind the scenes…her hard work is Appreciated!
Hugs and Kisses to you both!!
So are you ready to be smothered in LOVE????
Here come the *Hugs* and *Kisses*…*giggle*
Here come the *Hugs* and *Kisses*…*giggle*
My first *Hug* goes to a mini table runner I can't resist sharing from a class in my past...It’s on my table right now for Valentine’s day..
My first *Kiss* goes to this beauty… A Pinnie for my Partner in a Secret Swap. It went in the Mail Yesterday...… I found the Tutorial HERE.
My second *Kiss* goes to a FUN Table Runner I finished this past Sunday.
A Gift for My Sister in Law.
A Gift for My Sister in Law.
I have to share the story behind this runner.
It was a Mistake..My sister in law made a quilt for our Niece over a year ago. She had her quilt completely basted and ready for quilting when she realized she'd left off an Entire Row.
She was so frustrated she didn’t want to see the left over row ever again. I took the row home to keep safe *giggle*...I've had it for awhile, and this Blog Hop inspired me to create something with it!!! *grin*
I couldn’t resist adding some hearts and making it into a Wonderful Valentine’s Table Runner.. I knew it would fit her Dining Room Table..she'd be surprised to see it and hopefully she'd love it again...

IT FIT PERFECT!!! ..and She DID Love it.. and I got a real *HUG* for saving it from the ruins!
Here’s a Close up of the Quilting.. I got to practice some more Free Motion quilting. Getting Better but still need more practice.. *wink*

When I delivered the Table runner...There was this WONDERFUL *Hug* hanging on her Door Step...Sew I am sharing my Sister in Law's Project.
Her Hearts Wall Hanging.. She’s had this project in a bin for over 20 years, Can you believe that!!! What a great project hiding in a bin...Now she has this Beauty displayed at her Door Step for Everyone to Enjoy.

AND my Last and *BIGGEST KISS* goes to all my Flickr "Ima Bee" Hivemates..I
am receiving blocks Daily as I type this…I will have a TOTAL of 25
blocks and am SUPER excited. Here are my blocks...
I called the block "Floating Hearts"…as I asked Each BEE to place
their Heart
wherever within the block they’d like.
I am absolutely in love with this soon to be Quilt...*giggle*
I found this block over at Dutch Comfort's Blog and I just ran with it…
What do YOU think???
Black sashing going to work with this????

A-MAZE-ING projects! Seriously impressed with the love I'm feeling here :) I'm lucky to share this day on the blog hop. Hope you feel the LOVE from everyone today.
I love the floating hearts! I think I would not use any sashing--maybe a wide red border if you want more size :)
I love all you projects. The floating hearts are adorable. The mini log cabins are great. It is hard to believe that such a beautiful project would be setting for 20 years
Love the floating hearts! I can't wait to see how that one turns out. Thanks for sharing!
Love all your projects! The Floating Hearts project is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
What a creative family you have! How sweet that you were able to salvage a row of blocks and turn them into a table runner! I love it.
Just LOVE all of your projects! Definitely the black sashing and the all red block is perfect!
Gorgeous, gorgeous , gorgeous!!! Love the stories behind the pieces too.
Sew much fun here!! Saw bee swap blocks I saw recently on another friends' blog(Pam) how fun to see the whole collection!! Is a cute idea too, the floating hearts. I adore the "saved" table runner too .......what a great SIL you are! I felt well * hugged* today here!! HUGS and kisses to you!

Very cute projects, the floating hearts are so so cute, thanks for sharing!
Great projects! I especially like your Bee blocks!! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, aren't they adorable! I like the black sashing though the hearts would float just as well without it. Good work!
Great group of projects Christine. Love the rescued table runner and your bee quilt is very very cool.
All of your projects are lovely. I can't choose just one favorite!
All great ideas...now I need to be able to STOP TIME so that I can create some of these for Valentine's Day......since I've not figured out how to stop time...I suppose I shall get a very early start on next year! :)
I love all your projects. So inspiring

What super valentines/ heartsy quilted projects. They are all beautiful. conn_and_vans_mom(at)yahoo(dot)com
Love your hearts - thanks for sharing.
All of your projects are so nice...what a great idea to embellish the quilt row and then give it back as a finished project! My favorite is your bee block design-the contrast works so well and the reversed one really does enhance the whole project. Thanks for sharing!

Such a sweet story...love it and the runner! The floating hearts are beautiful, too.
Love table runner. My kids would like table runner.
I love that you turned her left over row into something for her. And what beautiful heart projects you have shown. Thanks for sharing them all. I am thinking I need to finish some of the hearts that I have been keeping in a box too.
You have done a fantastic job sharing all of your Valentine's blocks and runners with all of us today. Great job. I love the floating heart myself. This is just perfect for me to do.

Rosemary B here: Christine, you always always have amazing stuff. Good grief!! seriously.
I cannot pick a favorite. I love it all, every bit of creativity you have shared is so inspiring.
thank you for sharing today
How beautiful! Love the table runner for your sister in law and her log cabin wall hanging is wonderful!
Beautiful runners and projects and I'm so glad you rescued the blocks and what a neat idea to put the hearts on it!
What sweet projects. I love the runner that was an extra row. Now that's what I cal a "score".
My favorite is the table runner. Both the runner and the story :-)
Your projects are amazing. I really love what you did with your SIL,s mistake. It looks beautiful. The floating hearts will be so pretty when you get them all put together in a quilt. Can't wait to see it finished. Thanks for sharing.
Love your show and tell! Thanks so much for being part of the hop.
so much to love! That top table runner is just beautiful and your quilt is going to be lovely - yep, black sashing will work perfectly.
Your hugs and kisses are so lovely. Thanks for sharing
Christine you've got some great projects but I've absolutely got to make that first table runner! I love it! blessings, marlene
They are all just beautiful, so many ways to give hugs and kisses! :)
The black sashing is perfect. :D As is the rogue red! You've shared so many wonderful projects - love how you transformed the renegade row. Can't believe how cool the background log cabins are that she sewed, and that first table runner is absolutely marvelous. Thank you :D Very nice breakfast browsing!
Its just hard to pick a favorite so I love them all,they are beautiful.
Keep Smiling!
Wow! Christine, I'm impressed. Your heart is in the right place (sorry, I couldn't resist! LOL). I love the log cabin one, very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, you do love hearts and it shows! I love what you did with your SIL leftovers!? It is wonderful. and her hearts, in a bin! Oh no, glad it is out and showing. I am totally in love with your floating hearts. I think black in the perfect sashing. Hmmm, I am so inspired by that, I just may have to try, copy, make it too!
Awesome projects! Sweet to give your sister a table runner that will remind her of the pretty quilt she made her daughter. Thanks for the link to the cute random heart block.
LOVE your quilt to be :) That red block is awesome and YES, black sashing will be amazing!
You have alot of heart, love the runners, great job.
Oh boy, I really like your floating hearts quilt. Would love to see it when you are finished!
Great works!
I almost wonder what it would look like without sashing - the blocks would disappear into each other and without the delineation the hearts may appear to 'float' more! Might be worth a go!
I love your hearts. Beautiful!
Thanks for all the hugs and kisses! *Makes me feel all warm and quilty*
I love all your projects. My favorite has to be the rescued and row that you turned into the table runner. Love the story behind this one.
I do also love the log cabin blocks hearts. Log Cabin is one of my favorite patterns and I never cease to be amazed at what these blocks can make.
Thanks so much for sharing ... :) Pat
Lots of hugs and kisses in your parade of hearts. Luv how you rescued the forgotten row...how creative of you to make a Valentine runner. Great job! Happy stitching, Pauline
Love your projects and black sashing looks stellar with those bee blocks!!
Too cute!!! Love them all!!!!
Wow, what a variety of show and tell projects! Lovely!
Ohhh my I am in love with that floating hearts quilt!!!
wow really great projects!!!
Hi Christine!!! Wonderful!!! Love all of them!!! Lucky SIL too!!! Thank You
Wonderful projects and great story.
Your quilt is going to be fabulous. I love the table runner and the story. That will be treasured I'm sure! But my favorite is the log cabin hearts. I love log cabin blocks. What a find!
Great projects! I like the story about the table runner. It's so nice that it's loved again. The Floating Hearts quilt will be fabulous! I think black sashing is great.
Very lovely kisses and projects. Thanks for including the stories for us. Judy C in NC
Awesome projects! Your FMQ turned out great!. What a great idea for a "leftover quilt row". It turned out great!. Thanks for sharing.
wonderful picture parade
Beautiful I love the story behind the runner. What a lucky SiL. Your floating hearts quilt is going to be awesome.

They are all wonderful!!! I love the log cabin hearts and your runner is fabulous, but I think that bee block quilt is going to be amazing. I think I need to make one.
Wow, so many wonderful hugs and kisses projects you shared. I'm glad your SIL loved the table runner; I had horrible visions of her throwing you out on your ear!! LOL I like the black sashing but would love to see a couple of the other colors, too. Happy V Day!!
What a great post! Enjoyed it very much :)
Great projects! Thanks for sharing.
Fabulous quilty goodness!!! I can't wait to see the finished quilt with the blocks from your hivemates!!!
Wow Christine! Lots of work accomplished! That is always a great feeling. Thanks for sharing your hugs and kisses.
Thanks for all the eye candy. I love the table runner made from the extra row. Really like how the bee blocks are turning out. I like how the hearts are all in different places.
You have so many great projects--lucky friends and family members to have you thinking of them. What a great way to use a row of blocks. I love the floating hearts. Yes, I think black works perfectly.
I just love the extra row runner! What a fun gift to receive! your swap quilt colors are amazing!
I Love all your projects! Espacially the first tablerunner!

I love the floating hearts blocks and the table runner. Also the log cabin heart blocks. It is also great to see that ufo's can be finished, no matter how long it takes and still looked very lovely.
wow, such great stuff, and so inspiring! thanks for hopping with us all!
I love your stories of "rescue" projects this week. How great to save the forgotten row from your niece's quilt and then add some hearts to the blocks to give to your SIL! Then when you go to deliver your surprise, you see that after 20 years, she has finished a UFO! Another great save! I love your tablerunner. It looks like toile for the border. It looks great. Your heart quilt is coming together nicely. That red block is really going to pop. Black sashing is going to be perfect. Thank you for sharing all your family's creativity.
what wonderful shares! your story is perfect and the heart you showed in helping your sister-in-law ... beautiful! I really, really like your floating heart quilt and the all red block addition is superb! Thank you so much Christine for the share!!
I love the projects,especially the floating hearts! Thanks for sharing your creations with us! :-)
So sweet of you to do all those heart projects for others!
I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
What great things to see on your blog and so well sewn.
Grit from Germany
I would put black between blocs!..
