I just love all the hugs and kisses going on with
this blog hop. It's really getting me in the spirit
to celebrate Valentine's Day.
I've been missing my blog and all the blogs I follow because I've been sharing the love
with my sisters the last five days while we had a sister vacation in Las Vegas.
You'll get no details from me since "What Happens In Vegas, Stays In Vegas!"
Actually, there wasn't much excitement going on with us
old ladies, but we did have a great time eating, gambling,
and just catching up on sister stuff.
This is my Hugs and Kisses project, a small quilt with a sweet Valentine girl
designed by Madame Samm (I just love her--the girl AND Madame Samm!)
My quilt was inspired by a quilt I found at Richocet and Away! Mine's a little
different, but I loved what she did with her pattern.
THEN...
With my posting day quickly approaching, my sister sacrificed some of her party time
out on the LV Strip to show me how to use the ruffler that I bought ages ago
for my sewing machine, but could never figure out.
I love it and will certainly be using it again sometime.
Thanks, Linda!
Thanks to Jane for being the hostess and
of course, thanks to Madame Samm for
the inspiring idea to share the love.
There's a giveaway, too!

I love the ruffled edge around your quilt....why don't we see more ruffled edges? Are they difficult to add? Do they add a lot of bulk to the edge of your quilt? Thanks for sharing...you've inspired me!
Oh my, Carol! That is sooooooo cute!
How adorable! I love the little girl and the quilt itself is awesome. I haven't figured out the ruffler on my machine either. Maybe I'll need some lessons! I like it with the ruffle!
The ruffle sure kicks that cute quilt ip a notch! Lucky for you to have such a knowledgeable sister.
What a sweet quilt - adirable stitchery - and the ruffle just really makes the whole thing come to a 'twirl'!!
I just finished a ruffle quilt--without a ruffle foot. I love that ruffle edge it really complements that sweet embroidery little girl. Thanks for sharing!

Ricochet and Away!
very nice ruffled edge.. I think I may need to pick up one of those feet myself.
The ruffled edging is a sweet touch to little Valentine girl.
So cute. The ruffle on the edge makes it really special. Is that just an attachment/foot for your machine or is it a separate machine all together?
I love the ruffle finish on the quilt!
lovely work thanks for sharing!
Hi Carol!! Wonderful!!! Love the way you did your quilt!!!! Love the Valentine girl and the colors you used!!! All very sweet!!!! Thank You

Love the little girl and the ruffles
Very cute! Love it! Happy Valentine's Day.
Love your idea. And would love to win.
I'm growing a real love for vintage style embroidery and your project blended the two quite nicely! Loved hearing about your sister get-away! I have 2 sisters and sadly my oldest sister has Alzheimers. Spend as much time with your sisters as possible. My youngest sister is a true work-aholic and married to her job. I can't convince her that the church she works for will not fall down if she takes a week-end to get-away. I'm jealous of your sister get-away!!
Blessings

I love the ruffled edge on your quilt. Most of the time I see the ruffled edging on pillows. I probably would know how to use that pressure foot either or even if I had one. Your quilt is very pretty. Thank you for sharing and also for the giveaway. My email is sandrag.aiken@gmail.com.
Love your quilt thanks for the giveaway
Wow, nice ruffling, got to get mine out again, it was so inspiring. Thanks for hopping with us all!
Cute quilt! Love the ruffle!
Such a lovely thing to share with us! Thank you.
What an adorable quilt! You, Madame, and your sister make a great team. Thanks for taking time to blog hop and inspire us. Rufflers are wonderful. I don't have one - I have a friend who has one. They sure make the ruffles very, very even. Sure is a lot easier that trying to pull basting stitches.
I LOVE your quilt! I love that you used Kissing Booth around the sweet embroidery! Just love it!!!
This is adorable! Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
Love your ruffles Carol! What a wonderful quilt...as usual for you!
I need your sister to show me how to use a ruffler too. I found a few feet that go with my Viking that have never seen daylight (hardly) and I have no clue!
Love the quilt and the stitchery adds so much!
Your quilt is adorable! Especially love the ruffles... And the little girl.... I may need your sister to show me how to use the ruffled I bought in Houston last year, LOL! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
