Catching Up and a Valentines Throw Back

Thank you for all of the wonderful warm wishes on my Retreat I posted about last week. I had a great time and I can't wait to post more about it!!!    But in the spirit of keeping it real . . . life happened and I got sick at the retreat.  I was able to power through my last class, and then came home a night early to rest and recover.   But as things go, I came home to a sick child as well.   Which means, I still haven't unpacked and I need to clean house so . . . the quilt retreat post will just have to wait until I get things a little caught up around here ;)   Luckily, I am feeling better today, so hopefully I can get all caught up, and ready for tomorrow!!! 

So in the mean time, I thought it would be run to bring back some of these Valentines Projects that I and and bunch of my quilty friends made back in 2012!!!   I hosted a little Simply Charmed event, where I asked each of my friends to make a Valentines project using a Charm Pack.   And look at how great these are!!!  And since they just use a Charm Pack, you can still whip them up in time for Thursday ;)
