LOVE, LOVE this color combo--it's my new fave for Valentine's Day! I love making fun little love-themed tote bags for Valentine's Day. :)

I want it, I want it. My fav project is the one I am working on now, a "Tilda" table runner for my daughter in Red!

Favorite combo ever!

I am making tote bags for all the little ones in my life for Valentine's Day this year and knitting project bags for all my grown up knitting friends! So much fun!

My all time favorite Valentine project is the oldie but goodie shaved crayon between two pieces of wax paper. You shave the crayon between the pieces of wax paper and iron it to make stained glass looking hearts. Then they get hung in the window. The more the better. Love it!

This is one of my favorite color combos for little girls (especially mine)! I LOVE making heart valentines, since I was little! Still is great fun, and the smell of construction paper an elmer's glue is the best!=)

Natalie said...

I still enjoy making valentines each year. It's just fun to do.

sewkalico said...

I love how you keep coming up with awesome color stories! This is a great combo and one I have been trying to incorporate (with other colors) in my hand sewn hexagons I'm currently doing.

These are so pretty! I love making handmade valentines card and heart shaped breakfast!

Love it! Especially the Plain Jane stripe.

My favorite Valentine:filling glass jars with hugs and kisses for my kid's teachers. I put a note on the jar "Teachers can't live on apples alone, they need hugs and kisses too".

Unknown said...

I.Love.Aqua and pairing red with it is brilliant! Ive never been one for Valentines but I can appreciate all the colour it bring!

Betty said...

I have been using red and turquoise for years - my go-to colors, even when they weren't cool! Love.them.
My current V'Day project is a quilt for my sister-in-law's 50th birthday on February 14 - great fun. And then there are 5 other birthdays in February to celebrate - some beautiful fabric would come in handy!!!!

Unknown said...

ahhhh, those fabrics are the best yet I think. Something sentimental stirs in me, from the past? Its such a vintage look it reminds me of my childhood for some reason. Am surprised this fabric has caught my eye so much. Thank you for sharing it.

Carrie L said...

I love helping my kids make homemade Valentines every year. They're still young enough to not care that they're not store bought!

lindawwww said...

My favourite Valentine's Day project was a cute red-and-white polka dot apron I made.

bairdmtn said...

Andria said...

I love this color combination! I've been dying to make a quilt in these colors!

sandra said...

I love these colors for years. One of my favorite stories is when my 18 year old son came home with a big box of wonderful chocolates for me on valentines day. His Dad was hit and miss but he made me feel very special.

Marcia W. said...

Before Valentines Day we draw and color with the grandnieces red /pink /purple hearts to give their "mamas"... we have some very faded ones that are permanently on our refrigerator.
If am so fortunate as to win this fabric bundle, then can see some little girl and baby outfits in the works.

Susan said...

Happy valentine's day! I like to make cute little cross stitched hearts for a garland, backed with red checked fabric!

And red just so happens to be my favorite color, so pick me!

April said...

This is my favorite color combo of all time! YES!

Hillary said...

I haven't even started the best project I've ever seen . . . it's a pair of embroidered love you/love you too pillow cases. Have the pattern but need to set aside the time to do it!

Beth said...

My current favorite Valentine's Day project is a banner with my niece or nephew's name and hearts. Easy to make, and a bold reminder that they are loved.

This is such a neat color combo - and love the giveaway. My favorite Valentines Day to do is anything with chocolate! Thanks.

ssmith said...

Aqua and Red are so fun together! Like best friends that are opposites, but go together so well! Love it!
Mt grandma used to buy us these books that had punch-out valentines and we used to spend hours punching them out and decorating them. They were the best!

Tanis said...

I love these colors!! I have dreams of my kitchen- when I finally own a house- being these two fun beautiful colors!!

My favorite Valentines day project is making and decorating sugar cookies for family and friends.

Krystal said...

I can't wait for Valentines day this year, it will be the first year my son is old enough to get the idea behind it. There are soooo many wonderful kids valentine ideas I've found on Pinterest, I can't wait to start experimenting!

SewSuzie said...

Fabulous colour combination - a modern classic. Love the fishing fabric.

deede said...

Love!

I have some heart-shaped silicone molds that I pour hot stained glass candy into to shape. (It's red and cinnamon flavored.) My boys take them to their classes on Valentine's Day.

Whisk-At-Hand said...

Red and aqua is such a cute combo--so cheery! Reminds me of spring and fresh cut red geraniums in old aqua mason jars.

I made mug rugs with hearts last year as gifts for my mom and dad with fabric I knew they would love. My dad uses his everyday!

ELNM said...

This is a great color combo - I also saw it used at Christmas and loved it then. I love to make truffles for Valentine's Day!

Cheryl said...

This year's Valentine project is finished. I made a pink lap quilt with fabric strips from every fabric in my stash that had any pink in it. It turned out to be so cheerful.

I just saw the adorable fishing fabric yesterday somewhere and I didn't know the name of it until I followed your blog's link. Now I know I want to win "Hooked"!

Fabric Problem said...

I was so happy to find Aqua Red- I just put together a Valentine's Owl Stuffie tutorial, and it was fabulous to find something that wasn't pink! ♥

I can't honestly say it's my favourite Valentines project as I only found it earlier today....but I'd love to make the Quilted valentine Hearts Pillow by Ellie Roberts @ CraftSewCreate.com

I'd love to be the proud and happy new owner of those yummy fabrics.

Good luck to everyone, thank you for hosting a great giveaway & Happy Valentines Day everyone

Hugs

I have never made a Valentines day project but if I did I think that red and aqua is a perfect combination.

tricialee said...

those are gorgeous. I have to get around to making a red and aqua quilt one of these days, I love the combination so much.

Kay said...

My favorite valentine project is making something frilly & fancy for my grandaughter. I am in the process of making her a skirt. I would just love to sew with these fabulous fabrics.

Patty said...

I love aqua and red together. I've been collecting prints for a quilt but can't decide on a pattern.

The "fishing for you" print is too cute! One of my favorite Valentine's sewing project is pillows, because for planning an evening together at home, whether watching flicks, reading, or smooching... you can't have too many comfy pillows, and they might as well be cute, too!!!

Emy said...

Aqua and red look fabulous together and the fishing fabric is gorgeous. xx
