Hugs and Kisses Blog Hop and a Giveaway
And the winners are of the giveaways, according to the random number generator, are Theresa here who likes Everbloom in Ivory and Light Blue and Wendy Christian over on Instagram! Congratulations! Ladies, please send me your snail mail addresses.
Hi everyone,
Today is my day to post my project for the Hugs and Kisses Blog Hop going on at Sew We Quilt. We were asked to sew 1, 2, or 3 Valentine's-themed paper-pieced blocks designed by Soma from Whims and Fancies. Proceeds for these patterns go to charity and you can find out more about where to get them at Sew We Quilt.
Of course I had to use Topiary! I decided to use the heart block since it was my favorite. I wanted to use the X and O blocks too but in the border. Since I was shrinking the size of these blocks I appliquéd them, rather than paper-pieced them.
 |
| I decided to quilt swirls in the background to contrast with the straight quilting in the heart. |
 |
| And I free motioned petals in white border blocks. |
 |
| I debated about the corners and almost did them in the dark pink fabric, but in the end I decided to fussy cut the "Arbor Walk" print to showcase the smaller topiaries. |
 |
| The giveaway prize... |
And be sure to check out all the other sites on the hop today!

really delicate piece Amanda…and with your new fabric…totally heartfelt
Everbloom Light Blue is my favorite. Love your project!
Very nice piece. Thanks for sharing.
This is just gorgeous with those fabrics and your quilting...love it! Everbloom Green is quite lovely. Thanks for sharing your beautiful creation!
This is really cute. You did a beautiful job.
All of them are just beautiful, but my favorite would have to be Everbloom in light blue.
Beautiful quilt made with beautiful fabrics. Knot Garden Pink is my favorite but it was hard to select just one! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I love the Arbor Walk print. Very pretty. Thanks for the chance to win.
Your quilt is beautiful, and of course your fabrics are gorgeous! My favorite is "Knot Garden Blue." Thanks for generous giveaway.
Great fabric choice for this quilt! Or, maybe, great quilt choice for this fabric. I like the way the corners are there but not in-your-face. I like the hint of stronger color in the inner borders. If gives unity but does not fracture the design. I think it is the inner green border that makes that transition for me.
Looks lovely, so delicate, love it!
Such a pretty, soft design with beautiful quilting. I love the Gazebo Green fabric best. svonfumetti at yahoo dot com
I love your heart quilt.... great job! The fabric line is beautiful, but I think I'd choose the green to represent the coming of spring. Thanks so much!
So hard to pick just one, but if I could only have one it would be Espalier Blue. Just love the little heart details.
It was difficult to choose, but I'm going with Espalier Blue, because it incorporates not only colors I love, but hearts, which we all know, is the symbol of love. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win that wonderful giveaway!
Such delicate colors/fabric you choose. Very pretty.
Your mini is just beautiful , soft and feminine . My favorite would be the blue , such a lovely shade of blue.
My favorite would be everbloom light. Such a pretty color and print.
Espalier is my first favorite ,as they all are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Stunning!! Love your project!! The garden gate is my favourite fabric!!! What a pretty fabric line!!
SEW lovely! =) They're all beautiful, but Orchard Pink is soooo appealing...ready for spring. =) Thank you for a chance to win.
Hard to pick just one print as the colors of all of them are awesome. Thanks for the generous giveaway. Love your blog!
Wow, what a gorgeous project! I really like the big heart in the center with the X's and O's in the border. Thanks for sharing!
I loved all of the fabrics in this line, but Knot Garden Pink really appealed to me
Everbloom Green is my favourite pick. Thanks for a chance.
Lady Amanda, you ask the impossible. How can anyone just pick "one" design as their favorite? I did but it was hard to stop with just one or even to not say "all of them". You know I am so hooked on your designs!! I chose the simple and subtle but oh so dynamic Espalier Ivory. Thanks for a chance to win your generous giveaway!
I can't decide between Everbloom in light blue and Gazebo in any of the colors as my favorite.
I LOVE the project, especially the yellow color, and especially, especially the fabric! :)
The quilting is fabulous too!
A lovely piece,the fabrics were perfect for this hop. Orchid light pink would be my favorite.
Oops, forgot to say I love all the fabrics, do I have to pick just one? OK, Espaliar in blue is my favorite. But really, I LOVE them all!
How beautiful, Amanda! I love the quilting, too!
Oh my Amanda - this is simply gorgeous! I love the quilting and the colors both. I can't wait to see Topiary in person, hopefully during my next visit at my LQS. I had a difficult time choosing a favorite but I think Everbloom in light blue. Such a sweet spring-like fabric. blessings, marlene
I love the Everbloom Light Blue if I have to choose. I really like all of them You do such beautiful work and are very inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
wow! Love your heart block, and love all of the fabrics. If I had to pick, I would chose any of the pinks, and if I really had to pick, I would pick the knot pink. thank you for the chance
That is such a pretty heart!
I love Everbloom in Light Blue.
i love the orchard pink. it was a hard choice, they are all beautiful. thank you for a really great giveaway babscorbitt@gmail.com
The everblooming green is my favorite color way!
Everbloom in all three colorways, but light blue is my favorite.
Beautiful work and I really like the Orchard blue!
really like Gazebo in Blue.... wonderful spring colors
Oh I love the Espalier Blue. I think it's beautiful! sewingblogsarefun@yahoo.com
Beautiful quilt! I love the fabrics and colors. It is difficult to pick a favorite in the Topiary line, but I will say Arbor Walk Light Blue. It looks like this is what you fussy cut for your cornerstone squares and they make a perfect end frame. Espalier Blue is a very close second and I love the Everbloom Ivory, too.
Thank you for sharing ... :) Pat
Love love love the fabric and the pattern. I am going to follow you for sure!
I couldn't pick just one so Everbloom in Light Blue and Orchard Pink. Pretty line.
Arbor Blue and then Gazebo Pink. I love love love them all.
Oh gosh Amanda, how to choose just 1? As always, your work is just beautiful.
I suppose you asked, so I would have to say my favorite might be Everbloom Green. It's a great color and design that would fit with so many projects.
I love the everbloom line the best although it was difficult. they are all gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing
Your quilt is gorgeous!!! I love how you used the heart as the focal point with hugs and kisses around the quilt. Your machine quilting is really beautiful, it accentuates the beauty of your quilt, and the colors are very romantic. Great job :)
Your project is amazing, especially the quilting! My favorite topiary print is Espalier in ivory; the whole line is lovely!
Very pretty...love the touch of applique, and with the quilting you did, it really brings it all together. This quilt really shows off the topiary fabric nicely too. Love it!
I like the one with the turquoise chairs and couches.
Your heart quilt is lovely. You are so deserving for being in the top two today. Great Job.
Love your quilt and love all of the fabrics. If I have to choose just one, I guess Orchard blue. Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win.
I like any of the pink fabrics. Such an unusual color.
Everbloom--all three colors is my favorite.
senstrings (at) yahoo {dot} com
My favorites are the aqua, green, and coral combinations.
Oh what a gorgeous mini! I love Gazebo in Blue - these fabrics are so fresh and happy!
While my favorite color is yellow, I really like the designs in Gazebo blue. Also that dresden table topper is lovely perhaps because it shows off all the fabrics so nicely.
Everything about this piece is gorgeous. Love the fabric and the quilting! I love the Gazebo pink fabric.
Your little quilt is really stunning. I love everything about it ... the design, the fabric and the quilting. My favorite print in your Topiary line is Everbloom Green.

The everbloom green most definitely. Great way to showcase the fabrics in your quilt.
I think the pink gazebos are actually my favorite. Your quilt is adorable! You are smart to appliqué those little pieces. I probably wouldn't have thought of that. :)
Topiary is another beautiful fabric line...colors so soft and delicate. Luv your heart quilt and the Everbloom light blue is my favourite Topiary fabric...an awesome color and blender fabric. Have a wonderful week...happy stitching! Thanks for the chance...Pauline
It's hard to pick one favourite as they are all gorgeous. As I have to say one, I'll say Espalier Blue. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
