Hello bloggers and hoppers!
The idea for this hop was Joan's @MooseStash Quilting and what a fun idea for February!! Thank you Joan!! I have enjoyed visiting all the blogs and 'sweet' ideas~ have you too?
I decided to make a project from the Fat Quarter Shop's exclusive free patterns, with a little twist. I wanted my wall hanging to be mini. :-) I did the math and made the Love Note Pattern half size.
It is approx 10.25" x 12" inches~
Ok, I love it, but what if I made it even smaller?
How about 5" x 6"?
It is really easy to reduce patterns and blocks and I had a blast making the mini-mini. ;-) Ok, I might be a math nerd, but honestly~ it is easy. :-)
In the evenings I worked on the accompanying free cross-stitch pattern. I got it stitched, but not fully finished.... it will be by next year! LOL I have a small cutting board that I plan to mount it on so I can hang it in my dining nook next year. :-)
I hope you enjoyed my little 'sweet' treats. Be sure to check out all of today's bloggers~

What fun! I'm a math nerd, too. It's what I do when I can't sleep - figure out the acres on a deck of a Stardock space station in Star Trek, for instance. Your math time was well spent on reducing the sizes. That mini is adorable.
How adorable !!!Love your cross stitch; these are great additions for your Valentine decor.
Tiny is right up my alley. I love your projects, but especially the "Tiny". "Nerd", no I don't think so, but "whiz", well yeah now that's a possibility. Loved visiting with you today
Aww, I love your sweet projects. Your cross stitch is too sweet!
Adorable! I really love the cross stitch.
Those are really are sweet and I love the mini versions too. What a sweet little cross stitch and great idea for mounting it! Thanks for playing in our Sweet challenge!
Sew cute! Love all 3 of your projects! The cross stitch with the message in it is especially sweet!
Extremely cute!! Love the really little one!
I love seeing all the projects for hops. Yours is excellent. The smaller one is the sweetest. Thanks for sharing.
I was so tempted to make those envelopes. Love that you made a teeny tiny one and a cross stitch one, too!
Wonderful Valentine decorations. The cross stitching is very precise and nice.
Love your love note...and the tiny one too!
They're lovely. When you reduce a pattern do you just cut every block/strip in ½ or whatever size
you're aiming for?
These are adorable! I love your tiny little hearts in fabric and cross stich...sweet!
Cute little hearts! Great work, thanks for sharing!
Love the envelope pattern and the cross stitch is adorable! See sweet!

Thanks for sharing your projects! I'm a math nerd as well; I enjoy calculating and planning my quilt projects.
