Discount Deals of the Day

I've been pretty busy with a few projects and some very exciting news for me. My quilting has been developing rather quickly lately. I will share all great news in due time. Right now, I just wanted to share a few discounts I've discovered for my readers.
Fabric.com is having a clearance sale. The link will take you straight to the clearance aisle and is good while supplies last. If you need anything, now is a great time to get it.
Also, Kitchen Universe has given me a code to share so you can get 5% off your purchases. The code is : KIT5 and is good until March 15th.
Enjoy shopping. I'm going back to my project. I started off doing work for others today but this one piece is in my mind. It is pestering to come to creation. It is just for me "a soul quilt" if you will. But it is time to bring it forth.
Thank you for the comments. I will be posting more photos of this quilt in detail and as a whole. Was just trying and the photo kept coming up sideways. I will keep trying though so check back. I'll even include all of the stories about quilting it. With time, all my quilts-made-by-a-series-of-mistakes are always hilarious learning lessons.

Love and Chocolate

I love how I can tell what season it is by what candy is being sold in the grocery stores. Looking around, I see Saint Valentine's day is coming up soon. I always love a good romance and whichever of the many stories to believe, St. Valentine was a romantic. There were three saints of the Valentine name and all three were martyred. We are not even sure if this day celebrates one of the saints, all three, or if it is just another adaption of older pagan holidays.

Anyway, according to the tales, Saint Valentine performed marriages in secret, against the laws of the time. He either married Christians or soldiers, neither of which were allowed then. He was imprisoned and died for his efforts. (That is how one becomes a martyr you know.) According to one tale, while imprisoned, he wrote a love letter to a woman. Possibly she was the jailer's daughter. It was signed "Your Valentine", and became the first valentine card in history.

It certainly was not the last though. Sending loved ones a token of our affection on this day has become increasingly popular. Cards, flowers, and chocolate get sent around the world. All sorts of delicious chocolates go on sale to tempt our hearts.

Chocolate.com is ready for this holiday. They have marvelous boxed chocolate collections and with the attached code, you can get 10 percent off your purchase. Visit their site and pick something perfect for those you love. They will be happy to help make Valentine's Day special.
