As a grown up I like to give a little of that school days happiness to my friends and family still.\u00a0 So here is a little digital Valentine for you in your virtual mailbox.\u00a0 I made these stuffed hearts this week at a quilt retreat I attended here at The Bishop\u2019s Ranch.\u00a0 As the week went on the scraps in the scrap box began to pile higher and higher with tantalizing patterns and colors in every fistful.\u00a0 I took a few back to my sewing station and channeling my childhood self stitched, zigged, zagged and stuffed these scrappy love notes to share with you.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1829\" style=\"width: 370px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lisathorpeartist.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/02\/174b.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1829\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1829\" alt=\"A little squishy love note\" src=\"http:\/\/lisathorpeartist.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/02\/174b.jpg?resize=360%2C276\" width=\"360\" height=\"276\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1829\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A little squishy love note<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I hope you have a love filled day and if you have a chance to commit a few random acts of love today I hope you seized the moment\u2026..CARPE AMO!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1828\" style=\"width: 251px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lisathorpeartist.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/02\/174c.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1828\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1828\" alt=\"a little scrappy love pillow\" src=\"http:\/\/lisathorpeartist.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/02\/174c.jpg?resize=241%2C360\" width=\"241\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1828\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">a little scrappy love pillow<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Valentine\u2019s Day!\u00a0 I am a big fan of Valentine\u2019s Day, not the romantic love kind of Valentine\u2019s Day (although I\u2019ll take when I get it) with all its pressures and expectations; but the homemade, fill a box at school [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[37,88],"tags":[364,428,18,670,791],"class_list":["post-1826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art","category-inspiration","tag-freemotion-quilting","tag-homemade-valentine","tag-quilting","tag-scrap-quilting","tag-valentines-day"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CARPE AMO : share a little love today!
