Roses are Red, Violets are Blue… FREE Patterns Make Great Valentines, and This One’s For YOU!

Hey everyone – happy Valentine’s Day-eve! It’s crazy to think that we’re half-way through February and it’s only just starting to feel like a “real” WI winter out there. After last weekend’s snow dump plus another couple inches added last night, it’s finally looking like a winter wonderland here at Primitive Gatherings – and just in time for Valentine’s Day!

I don’t know about you, but something about a bright, sunny bluebird day after an overnight snowstorm puts me in the mood for… a good stitching project! And since Valentine’s Day is practically here, I figured it’s the perfect time to spread some love to all my fellow stitchers. That’s why, in honor of YOU my little Valentines, I am giving away the downloadable pattern for one of my exclusive 2025 Valentine’s Day projects FREE, now through Sunday February 16th, 2025!

“Forever Love” is a beautiful love-themed 18″ x 18″ pillow that is done using Primitive Gatherings Hand Dyed Wools appliquéd onto our soft and buttery flannel. This pillow was designed with two possible versions in mind, including one that features a variety of valentine colors and fancy stitches, while the other is a more simple, single color option. The best news yet, is that there is enough fabric and wool in the kits for “Forever Love” to create both! All you will need to provide is the backing fabric and a 20″ x 20″ pillow form for stuffing – all of which are available on our website by clicking HERE!

Ready to get stitchin’? All you have to do is click the button above to download your pattern! No printer? No problem! Patterns are available in printed format for $10.00 through Sunday, February 16th, 2025 (they will resume their full price of $16.00 after that). Project kits are also available! You will receive a printed pattern if you decide to purchase a kit, which you can do on our website by clicking below!

What are your plans for Valentine’s Day this year? Are you swapping out flowers for fabric and chocolate for wool??? Let me know in the comments! I always love hearing about your holiday traditions! As far as I go, all I know is I’m going to dinner tomorrow tonight. Not sure where – not sure when. All I know is he better play his cards right… LOL!!! Just kidding. I’m sure whatever he has up his sleeve will be great! Enjoy your Valentine’s Day everyone, and see you soon! ~Lisa

    Thank you for your generosity in sharing the pillow pattern….I absolutely love it. The embroidery is what really makes the design to me, and the beautiful cursive writing (which is becoming a lost art!). My granddaughter will love this, too – but I’m going to wait to give it to her on her birthday, which is in April. Truly enjoy your blog – and thanks again!

    What a beautiful valentine project. And I have to say chocolate, before wool. I do after all, work at Vandewalle’s!

    Happy Valentine’s Day. I’m planning to sew all weekend. It’s like the sweatshirt you were wearing about a week ago, Lisa — “If you love me…let me sew!” Thanks for the free pattern. It’s very pretty.

    I will be taking my mother to her hairdresser for a wash N cut on Friday. Then we’ll do a little grocery shopping which is our normal Friday afternoon. I think it’ll end with a pizza night! I’m sure my husband won’t mind picking it up and I do believe he has a box of chocolates for me. Yummy! 💕

    I got my Valentines Day gift early! We took a ride to Primitive Gatherings today and I picked out a backing for the quilt top I have been making and got the kit for Coat of many color! Better than flowers any day!

    It is finally beginning to look like winter where I am here in Mi also. We got 6″ or 7″ Wednesday evening into Thursday . Nothing says sew-day like a fresh layer of snow. These pillows are so pretty, One of my granddaughters will be turning 7 soon, her birthday party theme is hearts. I am going to try to get one done for her. Thank you so much.

    Thank you Lisa and staff! Thank you for the pattern for Valentine’s Day! My goal for 2025 is to complete a pillow and then do the hidden zipper that I have been procrastinating.
