Mini Quilt

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. As Kaisercraft is having shipping delays with their products, it has given me the opportunity to dabble in some of my other crafting hobbies that I haven't had the time to do in ages...one which is quilting! I have been a fan of Lori Holt for a while and she has a Youtube channel where she shares tutorials for various crafts. She has a series called #sewyourstashseries where she shares quilt blocks that enable you to do just that. This block was a way back into quilting for me...nothing too big and something I could finish.


This is my completed quilt. This is from the Sew Your Stash Series #6 and it was so much fun! I only had to purchase some background fabric (only a little bit..the rest I already had) and I could mix and match as I went.


To complete my quilt, I did some straight line quilting in a grid pattern to finish it off.

Stay safe and well

With Sympathy Card

 

Happy New Year! This is my first post of the new year but sadly I am posting a sympathy card. These are the cards I find hardest to make. I try to consider the recipients and how they will receive the card. I went with an elegant style as I felt it would be would be appropriate.

I used Spellbinder frames and layered flowers to compliment my papers. I also added a butterfly as a symbol of hope.
I did some stamping on the inside of the card. I had a sympathy stamp set that had some sentiments.
 
Supplies:
 
Paper: Kaisercraft Amethyst Collection: Paper Pad PP1086,  P2910 Mistique, CT986 Amethyst Sentiment CT980 Amethyst Collectables CD301 Snow Cardstock
 
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black Ink, Distress Ink Wilted Violet
 
Other: Spellbinders Fleur de Elegance, Hero Arts Infinity Oval Dies, JustRite Stampers With Sympathy, Kaisercraft Lilac Rhinestones SB705, Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers

Stay safe and well!
