Christmas Cards

Wow.  Look at these Christmas cards I received from the swap I was in.  Love them.

Leah day Quilt

I finished another project - My Quilty Box Leah Day quilt.  Learned a lot about free motion quilting.  I am pleased with it despite a few mistakes here and there. 

Wanderlust art journal cover

This past week we were tasked to finish the covers of our art journal we worked on throughout the year for Wanderlust 2017.  My art journal has a lot of empty pages yet so I am going to continue to use it for next year's projects.  I named my journal " My Wanderlust Journey".  Here is the front - the back is the same. 

Christmas Tag

I made this tag today - inspired by Jennifer McGuire's tag for the 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist series over at the classroom on Ellen Hutson.com.  I think I will try and make a few more of these.  

Christmas Swap Cards

It has been several weeks since I posted - busy with Thanksgiving, decorating and work.  Here are several Christmas swap cards I have received. 

Singer Featherweight

Found this on Etsy - a 1956 Singer Featherweight - in great shape - only replaced the belt and it works like a charm. 

Christmas Rag Wreath

I just finished it up last night - is it too soon to start decorating :)

Christmas Card

I made this simple card using the Eclipse technique.  Not sure why it is called that. 

Stitched Warbird Card

I made this card as a special order for an upcoming retirement.  Stitched it on my 10 needle machine.  I also made a matching envelope.

Mystery Quilt

It is done finally.  Not too pleased with the results - my own fault  for the quilting part.  I hade to take off the red border as the backing shifted.  Lots of lessons learned on this quilt.

Copic Witch

I attended another of Jane Allen's no line coloring class yesterday.  This was out big project - took 3 hours.  I need lots of practice :)

Club Scrap cards

A few cards I made from a recent Club Scrap kit. 

Gingerbread House

Here is the completed Gingerbread House I made.  It is all machine embroidery then sewed together.  Folds up and has a handle on top.  I did not make the little finger puppets that are supposed to go inside.  I love all the details - cannot see them in photos but for example the candy jars have clear plastic on top to make them look like glass and the windows have a thin white organza type material to look like a curtain.  The tree and teddy bear (inside and cannot see in the pictures) are felt.

Swap cards

I am participating in a card swap over at Stampin Connection where I mail 6 cards by the 6th of the month for 6 months,  Here are the cards I have received so far - 1 more is on the way, 

Not much crafting thanks to Irma

Have not had much time to sew, quilt or craft thanks to Hurricane Irma.  Here are a few photos of the aftermath.  Hope to be crafting again soon. 

Wool coaster

For my 2nd wool project I made a cute little coaster out of some Papertrey Ink wool felt.  The sample project made felt cookies but I had. my embroidery machine running and decided to make a quick coaster using one of the patterns in my machine

So I am playing along this weekend with Papertrey Ink's jammed packed 3 day weekend celebrating their 10th anniversary.   The theme this year falls in line with traditional anniversary gifts.  This first card is my warm up card.

Altenew Card Kit

I made a few cards from a wonderful card kit from Altenew.  It was a bit expensive but had so many great items in the kit.  I especially love the 6 x 6 pad of designer paper.  I have a lot of paper left  as well as many other items.  Here are the cards I have made so far.
