Wreath Swap - Home is Where the Wreath Is

 

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful week. Today I am sharing a project that I have been so happy to complete. It is called Wreath Swap. It is a series created by Stitching With the Housewives. You can purchase other patterns to swap the 'O' with decorative patterns to suit different occassions. You start with pattern one which is Home is where the wreath is, then build on with the wreath swap patterns.

To finish the cross stitch, I followed the finishing tutorial on the Stitching With the Housewives channel.

I purchased my frame from Kmart as we don't have Hobby Lobby in Australia.

Baby Card

 

Hello everyone! It has been a little while since I have posted. I have been busy and have neglected my blog and social media as a result. I have been creating in the background, but projects that take a bit more time and I will be sharing those soon. But today I am sharing a card that I made for grade partner who had a baby girl a few months ago. Of course I went with the vintage style which I love.

I used Maja Design papers and I used some die cuts to decorate along with some coordinating blooms from my stash. She loved the card and placed it the nursery.

As always, stay safe and well.

Celebrate Today

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am sharing a wedding card that I made for a family friend. I selected navy blue as it was the colour of the brides maids.

I added some vintage touches that I hope added something special, so that this card can be a keepsake for the special day. I used Maja Design papers, Prima flowers and goodies from my stash!

Christmas Cross Stitch

 Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am sharing a cross stitch gift that I created, using patterns from Stitching With the Housewives. I followed their finishing tutorial to decorate the cross stitch piece and then I placed both pieces in a tray which I purchased from Kmart.

Christmas Table Runner and Placemats

 Good morning! I hope that you are well. I am back with more Christmas decor. I made a table runner and matching placemats using the June Taylor, Quilt as You Go kits. The hardest part was selecting my fabrics! I wanted to coordinate with the Christmas tree skirt BUT use up fabric from my stash.

The pattern was really easy to follow. Construction was not not difficult once I had all of my pieces cut and labelled and placed onto design boards.

Now that I have finished these, I might even make something like this again but for my own home!

Christmas Tree Skirt

Merry Christmas! I hope that your day was joyful with your loved ones. Over the next few days, I will be sharing some projects that I have made as Christmas gifts, now that Christmas has passed. These are Christmas home decor pieces. The first item is a Christmas tree skirt, made from a pattern that I have kept from a quilting magazine from many years ago.

 It features this applique of Christmas bells, poinsettia which I made from felt and some other decorative pieces.
