Christmas Village Card

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend. Today I am sharing my first Christmas card of the year. These are my favourite type of card to make. I purchased the Card Stacks Dies from Concord and 9th last year, but haven't had a chance to use them yet..and now I am so glad that I have.

I used dies from the Honey Bee Winter Village to decorate. I decided to limit the colours in the village to make my life easier. I used a stencil to create the snow with ink, next time I should use a different medium as I wasn't happy with how it turned out...never mind. I used Glitter cards stock to create snow peaks and liquid glue to adhere everything. 

Supplies:

Dies: 

Concord and 9th Card stacks bases, Die-namics fishtail flags stax, Tim Holtz Vault Christmas Magic, Honey Bee Stamps Winter Village, Uniquely Creative Christmas Sentiments and Dies

Cardstock:

Kaisercraft: Steel CD 105, Lemonade CD314, Frost CD350, Ruby CD325, Glittercard GC104 Crystal, Forest CD 114 Kraft CD65101, Licorice CD102, Coconut CD101

Moda Love Quilt ~ Nantucket Summer

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am sharing a quilt that I made using charm squares. The fabric is Nantucket Summer by Camille Roskelley, which I absolutely love. I spent ages looking for a pattern as this fabric sold out so quickly and I didn't want to waste it as it is hard to find!

I used the Moda Love Charm pattern, which is free on the Moda site. 

Once I had finished my quilt, I used a diagonal grid pattern as my final quilting pattern

I found a coordinating navy fabric from Spotlight which matched the collection. I machine stitched the front and handstitched the back of the binding into position.

I didn't have any yardage from this collection, so I cut up an old duvet cover that I no longer used and used it as my backing fabric. I am so happy happy I kept it for this reason!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 

Sentro Knitting Projects

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. I am sharing a post, which will show some projects that I made over a period of time. I have been stock piling these for when I was ready to donate. School is currently supporting the winter appeal and are collecting donations which include beanies, scarves etc for the homeless. 

I made quite a few using  my Sentro knitting machines. I also played around end experimented with different yarns, used up scraps and made a combination of scarves, fingerless gloves, and beanies.

I will share more over the next few days. It feels great that I can contribute to those who are not so fortunate.

Stay safe and thanks for stopping by!

Cross Stitch Pillows

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. I am back at school and this year I am trying to balance work with some more craft. I am working on managing to fit smaller projects, however I have just finished a blanket which I will share in my next post.

I have been collecting some of the Lori Holt stitch cards and I have just finished stitching two from Set O. I am not stitching in any particular order, just picking designs that are appealing to me. I like to add some lacey trim on the back to cover the stitching when you whip stitch to close. I am also using Aleenes glue now and not hot glue which works just fine!

I hope you have a great week crafting!

Take care and thanks for stopping by!
