Make a Quilted Throw Pillow for Your Valentine I’ve been having fun with the Valentine theme this month, as I suppose you are already aware if you’ve been following the projects available on the blog! I adore red and pink, cupids and hearts, chocolate candies and pretty, heart-shaped sprinkles. I also love quilting! I thought a quilted throw pillow would be another wonderful idea for Valentine’s Day. You can make one as a gift for your sweetie, or just keep it and enjoy it for yourself. This pillow may be displayed only in February if you wish – but it would also be a fabulous home décor item throughout the year. There is another reason I want to make this particular pattern: Did you know that according to the British Heart Foundation, February is Heart Month? Heart disease kills far too many people, and it’s often preventable. With adequate exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and regular check-ups, we might deter the onset of this devastating condition. If we keep our stress levels to a minimum, avoid drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, and either quit smoking or never start, we have an even better chance of preventing cardiovascular issues. I think that a quilted throw pillow with a heart theme is the perfect project for this month. Whether you choose to give yours to a sweetheart or to keep it as a reminder of Heart Month, I hope you find making it a fulfilling endeavor. Let’s get started, shall we? This pattern is for a heart quilt block that you can sew on the front…

They were the misfits The rebels The boys with glasses Girls with braces The ones who sat on the first bench The ones who chilled with imaginary friends The weirdos The freaks The nerds They were all round pegs in square holes; Round pegs that fit into square holes. But I, I was a round peg too gigantic to fit in; Too colossal, too enormous; too elephantine; TOO FAT to fit into a square hole. My mother said it didn’t matter; At least I wasn’t confined within the four walls of a square; But how…

two-dimensional depending on certain angles people view the sculpture. The artist is concerned with the three-dimensional existence compared to their two dimensional aspects and illusionistic qualities. Duchscher mentioned that his sculptures are visual experiences in themselves and are subject to change with both the environment and the observer. A piece of artwork that attracted my attention was called “Rhombus Cubis III.” The subject of the piece of art is a geometric sculpture. The…

and Gregory Battcock is about two established art critics who are depicted as an former love affair, taking note of the lack of intimacy as the knees are barely touching. As for any dominant shapes or patterns, it is suggested that there is an upside down triangle on the left where Gregory Battcock is sitting. By inspecting his slanted shoulders and bright yellow briefs, an individual is able to identify the hidden shape. The triangle is also seen on the left where David Bourdon rests with an…

I am inquisitive, but it is not simply the conventional I-ask-a-lot-of-questions type of inquisitiveness. Emphatically, I am endlessly curious, inherently agog to searching and discovering. However, time and time again has proven my intuition to be dangerously curious. Trust me when I say this: I am a daredevil, bad-to-the-bone, with no fear of pioneering my own path to acquire more knowledge and satiating my hunger for erudition. Even through situations that would now prove too juvenile to…

triangle which helps civilians know that she is elated. Also, the robot’s body is a rectangle. The middle of her body is a heptagon on top of a pentagon which is sitting upon a hexagon. This is her symbol which represents her just like how a letter S with red and blue on a yellow police badge represents Superman. The two octagons on her chest are her energy supplies. The octagon with all equal sides is her main energy supplies while the uneven octagon is her secondary energy supplies. Her arms…

Lines are the most basic, but essential element in a piece of artwork. Lines can be perceived when they connect, are in close proximity, or are adjacent to other lines. In her painting, Rockburne uses sharp, straight lines that intersect multiple times all over the composition. Dorothea Rockburne’s use of diagonal, horizontal, and vertical lines provide a basic structure to the work of art. Horizontal lines suggest calmness, while vertical lines suggest a sense of permanency. The use of diagonal…

Sarama, the authors of Learning and Teaching Early Math (2014), the ability to engage in visual imagery and spatial visualization is one of the most powerful operations in human cognition. This ability is particularly useful for problem solving as it allows imagining solutions to problems. More importantly, spatial visualization and imagery is essential human ability that contributes to mathematical ability, especially when it comes to geometry. As a preschool teacher I find it very important to…

The President lists several factual points regarding the country’s position on the space program, the quest to continue exploration, and the personal dedication required (Reagan)- “We’ll continue our quest in space. There will be more shuttle flights, more shuttle crews and yes, more volunteers, more civilians, more teachers in space. Nothing ends here; our hopes and our journeys continue.” (Reagan). Regan empathized with his people but called them back to logical reasoning that we must continue…
