Block Party – Creative Block – Home is where the heart is.

Today I am linking up with the QuiltStory Block Party by submitting my “Home is where the heart is” block.

I started this block right after I read about the block party and decided to do the state of Pennsylvania. Each county was machine stitched out and the heart over our home town was hand embroidered. The state is blanket stitched onto the Pennsylvania keystone and the whole block is done in the states colors, gold and navy. I intend on using this block as the center block to the “Story of our lives” quilt I will be working on.

Since becoming a Mom I have created items that are modern day essentials to me and I am happy to be able to offer them to all of you.

Creating personalized items brings be great joy so please feel free to email me, i look forward to working with you to create the perfect item!

I have had the opportunity in the last few weeks to sit down and really think out which direction I want to take my shop. This blog will be the main source of news for new products, tutorials, tips, links and all things crafting! I look forward to sharing with all of you the creative journey in revamping Aspire to Be in the coming weeks.
