Indulge in a beautiful act of affection for someone special by stitching the Love Letter Quilt top with the help of professional artist and quilter Heidi Parkes. Her newest pattern features a collection of twenty unique blocks, each delicately embroidered or appliquéd to weave a tale of devotion. Designing a quilt top is an art form that allows you to express yourself creatively, choosing fabrics and colors that reflect personal preferences and experiences. With each day's prompt, you will craft a new hand-sewn artifact, culminating in a heartfelt diary of memories. You'll also learn to care for your hands with hand yoga and consider lahout and form. Whether you gift it to a loved one or save it as a treasured keepsake, the Love Letter Quilt top is a remarkably way to tell a love story.
To follow along on social media, please post your progress using the tag #LoveLetterQALLearn more about Heidi's inspirations behind the Love Letter Quilt pattern and her history of incorporating love into quilts in this live presentation, originally aired August 9, 2023.

Love this class so much and Heidi's teaching. I've been working on and off with this quilt for the couple/ few(?) years since this class was released, and I'm trying to finally finish it. I'll post a picture when I do. (I rarely complete a project in the designated time.)
