X's and O's Blog Hop

*
It's the day after,
are you still indulging in bon-bons and sweet treats from your honey?
*

*
A huge round of applause for Madame Samm and Jane for this
 delightfully yummy Blog Hop!

Color My World
Sew We Quilt
*
These are the sweethearts that are offering up their eye candy on this, the final day.
*
I decided to make a pillow for our boudoir.
*
*
A  heart of random reds, surrounded by hot pink, bordered with baby pink 
and shades of brown "chocolate bon~bons". The bon~bons have hearts quilted into each one
and I FMQ a heart in red. There's a flange around the edge and the back is finished with
an over lap pocket.
The maple leaves are a nod to my Canadian side and the crayons are for my boys.
The snowmen and snowflakes are a tribute to this winter's crazy amount
of snow we're experiencing this winter along with so many of you folks near and far.
*
Keep your snow shovels, blowers and throwers handy my friends cuz 
"it ain't over til it's over"!
*
This just in.....
we're expecting  more snow...20cm  so they say!
Check out this talented group of sculptors,
*
*
All I can say is "Wow!"
*

    What a fun little pillow! The first thought that popped in my brain....what an awesome take on the trip around the world pattern...LOVE around the world...then the more I looked at it....the more it looks like the heart is beating! Have fun and enjoy the snow...we've not really had enough snow to count this year.

    Rosemary B here: Dear Carolyn, I adore your pillow. It is so cute, but yes classy for the boudoir indeed!
    Good luck with that snow. I live in No Va and we usually get about 20 inches of snow but this year amazingly we have only had about 6 inches.
    They are predicting .... 1/2 inch of snow tonight. Holy Moly, why bother predicting anything for such a lame amount.
    Enjoy your snowbound week-end!

    Your pillow is beautiful and by adding fabric pieces to remind you of certain things makes it very special. I like the quilting, too. You did a great job.
    Love the pictures of the snow. Living in the South, we don't see very much of it so I am so amazied by the amount everyone else receives.I would love to see enough to stay on the ground for at least 3 or 4 days.
    Thank you so much for sharing.
