Secret Sister 2019

I have started a new year with the Secret and Caring Sisters over at Stampin Connection.  Here are the cards I received for January.  Aren't they wonderful?

Life Book 2019 Angel

I am playing along this year with a mixed media on line class called Life Book 2019.  The first week we created an "Angel" to watch over our art :)  

I have never done faces or people before so was hard - the teacher did give us a photo so we could trace the outlines using graphite paper which was a huge help.  I look forward to learning more.

Merry & Bright tablecloth

I finished the quilt from Pat Sloan's Merry & Bright weekly sew along and am using it as a tablecloth.  I was gifted some vintage tablecloths at Christmas from my dear friend Lynn and used the red one on the back.  Sorry no picture yet of back.  And the funny part is I posted the quilt on Pat Sloan's blog post of our quilt ( along with 180 others) and my number was chosen to win a prize - was computer generated  and random drawing.  I am having a lucky streak. 

#simplestamping

Stampin Up has challenged the demonstrators to create simple cards using only ink, cardstock and stamps.  Here is my first attempt. 

12 Days of Christmas swap

I am participating in a 12 days of Christmas swap and have received some cute ideas.  The swap plan was to make simple inexpensive gifts using Stampin Up items.  I sent 2 sets and received 2 sets in return so have been opening 1 gift a day.  Here is what I have received so far. 

Mystery quilt 2018

I can now reveal my 2018 Clermont Quilters Mystery quilt 2018.  Our annual reveal and Christmas party is today.  I pieced the entire quilt on my Singer Featherweight "Miss Edith".   

Secret Sisters Swap

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I am bit behind in posting on this blog so today am posting some of the card fronts I received at the Stampin Up Onstage convention a few weeks ago,  I am part of a year long swap - SACS- Secret and Caring Sisters.  We had an organized swap and were charged with creating a card front based on a template.  It is so interesting how everyone interpreted the design. 

Little Red truck

Old red trucks are so in style this Christmas.  I got this truck die from Papertrey Ink and decided to try it out today,  Room in the back for some candy.
