Today is National Absinthe Day. I’ve had this fabric for almost a year and I finally got to use it for this quilted heart! Absinthe is made of herbs and as long as the wormwood level isn’t too high it’s legal to make, sell and drink!

Happy Friday the 13th! Today’s #quiltedheart features a black cat. The myth that a black cat crossing your path on Friday the 13th brings bad luck stems from medieval superstitions linking them to witches, the devil, and misfortune. Watch out!

I decided to repurpose this Pendleton Wool iPad case I bought many years ago. I took it apart, ironed it flat & made it into a snap pouch to keep in my car, full of quilted hearts. I love it when my ideas actually work out!

In 1957, Engineers Marc Chavannes and Al Fielding worked in a garage to create a three dimensional plastic wallpaper, by sealing two shower curtains together. They were not successful in selling their wallpaper, so they began marketing it as greenhouse insulation. In 1960 they started the Sealed Air Corporation. The following year they realized their product could be used as a cushioning and packaging material. It was originally used to package IBM 1401 computers for shipment. Now it is used for food packaging more than for anything else. Bubbles are generally different sizes, usually 1/4 inch in diameter to 1 inch in diameter. Bubble Wrap is often made from polyethylene film.
Today is Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day. So I made a quilted heart to celebrate it. FYI bubble wrap does not like being sewed so I glued it down. It has an interesting history that’s included in the +ALT on the picture.
