Alice!

 Hello!

I recently participated in a journal page swap.  Ladies all over the world were swapping pages through  Jennibellie's Journal Workshops (ning.com) This particular swap was Alice in Wonderland themed. I LOVE Alice!!!!

So here is my page



The main fellow is a stamp by La La Land Crafts.  He's called Luka (Mad Hatter Luka)
Also used stamps of mushrooms and leaves by Dylusions
The tiny head of the Cheshire cat  is a stamp I did not identify the maker with... sorry!

I look forward to seeing other's interpretations!

Happy Birthday!

 Hi!

My hubby's birthday was at the beginning of the month.
I wanted to make a wall quilt that celebrated him. 

So while I was working on another project in secret.
We are both photographers and his favourite colour is blue.

So I gathered my fabrics and made this!


This cute pattern is by Sassafras Lane Design: Mini Focus Freeway.
It's an applique pattern.
Done in a day!


Hugs!

May the 4th be with you!

 Hi!

My girlfriend asked me to make a couple of these cards for friends of hers.  


I liked it enough to make an extra on for my mom... also a Star Wars fan.

Shrinky Dinks are still useful!  Printed out and coloured some logos I found online, hole punched them then shrunk them!  Tie them to a card I stamped and then tried to make look like space....



Hugs!

Home Sweet Home

Hello! 

Another project closer to making our home even more comfy!

Last Spring I started a King + sized quilt for our bedroom. Gudrun Erla created a pattern called Hope and used all proceeds of the pattern to give to her local charities helping those who were struggling without work due to Covid.  I gladfully paid for the pattern and started a LOOONG project during her quilt-a-long.  Here's her version of it.... (a smaller more doable size)


This was a quilt along where she posted videos on how to do each step, and also gave us some wonderful tips to make the sewing easier. That day I completed 20ish blocks... I needed 120.


Fast forward to January 2021, when I finally fished attaching all said blocks.


Handed it off to my girlfriend at Aba Daba Quilts to long arm the quilting. And today finally finished sewing the binding on it.


It is 93"x 110" with 120 finished 9" blocks set in an offset barn raising pattern.  It's Done!!!!

Hugs everyone!

Happy Easter!

 HI!

I have a renewed energy today!  

Spring, warmer weather, healthier eating and of course God has saved us all!

I made this banner for my mom and sister a few weeks ago and they immediately put it up on their door... guess they liked it!

The first week of February I followed along an online quilting summit with Rebecca Page.  She had many instructors and free videos to learn new techniques.

This was a one day project with Janel Metsker and her pattern is called Bunny and Blooms.  I altered it a bit, as the original was meant to be more horizontal, and I knew I wanted it for the the door.



I just used scraps that I had and a fat quarter for the backing.

Busy, busy, gotta stay busy!

 Hello!

It's been a while since I bought myself new stamps, as I am phasing out of that to do more Quilting.  But I very happily offered to help a friend out with providing some cards for her business.  She sells Epicure.  I have NO food stamps except chocolate.  So I went to another friend, Wanda, that sells Stampin' Up!  and placed an order for these yummy stamps that I will use for quite a while.  


Though I am phasing out stamping, I have too many supplies to not keep making cards when asked, and for our own purposes.  And I still enjoy it!  

So here is my latest batch of playing with colour and style, just for you Trixi! 



Hugs!
Cindy

Happy Valentines Day!

 Hi!

It is so hard to keep happy these days....
Cold, locked in, worry, you name it!

But it's Valentines Day...

So Friday I went out and dropped off a little care packages to some girlfriends I've been missing.  Just a couple cookies and a card.  Sent one to my mom and sister too.


I've been hording these chalk sprays for a while too.  So, primed them up with water and went outside for a few minutes to do some graffiti on the snow....



Try to keep doing things!

Hugs!
