Silver Wedding Anniversary card

Hi Everyone
I have made this Silver Wedding Anniversary card using Anns Paper Art Pattern
A038
I used silver and pink metalic threads and added silver butterflies to it.
It is for one of my lovely step-daughters who got married just a few months after I married
her dad. 
Well I am not going to ramble on tonight as I must watch Call the Midwife in a minute, I really enjoy
the program
Thanks for looking

Cards for men

Hi Everyone
I have been making a few cards for men today as I didn't want to go and play in the snow.
I made the Get Well soon card for my neighbour who is in hospital, I used a pattern from Erica Fortgens book Basics of embroidery on paper and then added the die  from Spellbinders die D-lite, I was rather pleased with the results.  The Pink Floyd one is for my son who is Pink Floyd mad so he should like it, and the other two are from a mens CD which I enjoyed playing with. 
I hope you are all keeping warm and safe during this winter time.
Thanks for looking

Birthday Card for a very dear Friend

Hi Everyone
Well this is my second post in a week, how good is that hahaha!!
I made this card for my dear friend Buttons.
I wove strips of paper for the background and embossed it, then added flowers using Spellbinders die Rose Creations and inked the vellum, added lace and bits and bobs, finally I stitched pattern no. a316 from Anns Paper Arts onto a small piece of card and then turned it into a tag attaching it with ribbon.
Thanks for taking the time to look

Another Quillow

Hi Everyone
This is the latest quilt I have finished.   I made it for one of my step-daughters, she is taking it to her home in France.  Her and her husband have bought a ramshackle property over there and are doing it up.  As the property is now nearly complete I have made this for them as a house warming gift, she loved my other quilts that I have made so I decided to surprise her with this.  I am rather pleased with the results.  One of the pictures shows when it is all folded into a the back pocket making it appear as a cushion and the other one shows it opened up.  When I delivered it and the baby quilt just recently I picked up an order from my grand-daughter for a black and white lap quilt, backed with fleece and with purple flowers on the corner.  Well she actually gave me the money for the material so it's a pleasure to make it for her, I intend starting it this week-end.
Hope you like this one
