In honor of Valentine's Day and shared with love: my updated collection of hearts quilt block patterns, quilt patterns, coaster patterns, heart shaped sewing projects directions, and even some heart themed Valentine card and paper craft projects for 2011.
Whenever we make a comfort quilt or donate a block to a given cause, we are putting a piece of ourselves...our heart...into that donation. Whether they are given to a loved one, heart patients, for cancer care, for hospice donations, or to simply to show our love, faith, and caring...it's wonderful to make and keep heart blocks, quilts and other projects on hand....any time of the year!
My own heart shaped or themed tutorials:
My String Pieced Prayer Pocket Pillow make with strings or solids and use the little pocket in the back...for sending good wishes of any kind!
Making a (Cardiac) Heart Pillow
perfect for post surgery for either cardiac or breast cancer patients, hugging a pillow over the heart after cardiac surgery or under the arm after breast surgery have been shown to help significantly with post-operative pain.

Amazing--what a super post!! I Heart you! And it's really inspiring. My favorite "heart" thing is to make a baby quilt with hearts appliqued on alternate squares
Michelle, I still have the Heartstrings pillow/pincushion you made for me. It sits on my sewing table and everytime I look at it, it reminds me of you and your generosity.
