Free Download Bite Size Quilt
Some say it is just a fake holiday manufactured by the florist, chocolate, and greeting card industries. Single people say it just makes them more aware of being single. That’s all kinda sad. So what really was Saint Valentines Day originally? This is what I found.
The story goes that during the reign of Emperor Claudius II Rome was involved in several bloody and unpopular campaigns. Claudius found it tough to get soldiers and felt the reason was men did not join the army because they did not wish to leave their wives and families. As a result, Claudius canceled all marriages and engagements in Rome. A romantic at heart, priest of Rome Saint Valentine defied Claudius’s unjustified order. Along with Saint Marius, Saint Valentine secretly married couples. When his defiance was discovered, Valentine was brutally beaten and put to death on February 14, about 270 AD. After his death, Valentine was named a Saint.

Hi ladies! Happy Valentines day! I’m struggling to find the “Will You Be My Valentine” download link. Please point me in the right direction? It will be great to see you hopefully this fall after the nasty bug is gone and we’ve all had our shots. Hoping and praying!
Hugs…from Cherie
I guess I hid it pretty well. You actually had to read a paragraph and it was the underlined text that had the link. I made an easy download button. Thank you! And I miss you too, Cherie!!
