Pin Cushion

Well as you have probably all gathered by now, I have a terrible bug called Quilting  LOL!!

It's terrible because it runs away with time and money, but what the heck I LOVE IT

This pin cushion is done using the Cathedral Window quilting design, very pretty and fairly quick to do.
I love easy, and quick haha!!

Anniversary Card

Hi
I made this card for one of my lovely step daughters and her husband for their anniversary later this month.
I used Ann Paper Art pattern from Hobby Journal 83 for this one.  I put silver mirri card in the centre of the inner heart, but unfortunately it didn't show up well in the photo.
This is a superb pattern you can do so much with it.  Round the heart shape I stitched it at 1 -12 and it has given it a lovely thick line, I like the effect, hope you do.

,

The next Birthday card is for my 25 year old Granddaughter I used Anns pattern a726 for this one, after stitching the rose I glittered it all with Glamour Dust which is a beautiful fine glitter.

My first Quillow

Hi Everyone
Well I have now finished my first ever Quillow.
I thoroughly enjoyed making it, I machined the blocks together and then hand stitched all the quilting. It took quite a while to do, but I am so happy with the result.
The first picture shows it folded up as a cushion and then when unfolded it opens up to a lap quilt, I have draped it over my 2 seater settee so you can judge the finished size.
I hope you like it.
I have got 3 more to make, one of them is going to be my next project at the course I am doing at Puddleducks of Sevenoaks which starts up on the 19th April. It will have all different designs on it, I expect they will be more complicated that this first one.
Hope you like it

Cute little Bag

Hi Everyone
I made this bag for my daughter to take her work to the school that she works at. She is with the little
one's, I am sure they will love it.
I Loved it so made one for myself as well. The writing on the book says How To Become a Butterfly.
How cute is that.
It was so popular with the ladies at the craft clubs they borrowed the pattern, I wouldn't make them for them hahaha!!

Birthday Card for Katie

Hi
I have just made this card for one of my little Grand-daughters.
Katie will be 8 years old next month, bless her she is growing up so fast.

I used Messy Rabbit CD for the backing paper and toppers.

I borrowed the flowers off Sandy at Kentish Crafters  (Permanently borrowed that is ha ha!!)
She was showing us today how she makes them using Cheery Lynn flower die in the Grand Caliber machine  and used coloured tissue paper, I think the result is terrific, hope you like it.

I now know what my next must have purchase will be, the die and tissue paper, oh! and must get the brads for the middle.

There is a craft show on at Bluewater next weekend, so think I must look out for it.

Card for my Grandson

Hi again
I have made this card for my Grandson Jayson, who will be 17 on the 12th of this month.  I know it is a bit strange for a 17 year old's card, but I have just spent Christmas with him and his Mum my daughter Carol.
Well he spent all of Christmas teasing me, (I don't know where he gets that from) and reminding me that he is a man now not a kid anymore, Sooooooooooo  I thought this card would be quite appropriate ha ha!!

It is another pattern from A & N it is so cute.

Hope you like the card
