Porcelain painting

This is something I haven't done in awhile, painting porcelain. 

Meet my friend the snowman.



These were the colors I knew I would use, then I had to think about the other color choices.


This is how it all came together.

Quilt magic Christmas present

This is my kind of quilting, sorry Me and Her. This is called Quilt Magic. This one was a fairly simple to complete so it didn't take long, I was able to get it done over a couple of days.

The kit comes with a prepared hard foam board, pattern pieces and material.

This is the foam board. I forgot to take the picture before starting, this is just the fabric that wraps around the back of the board and one piece of the picture.



This the material that came with the kit.

Then you get a diagram to follow along with pattern pieces to cut out of the fabric provided.

Then you push the fabric down into the lines on the board. Eventually you get a completed board.

Stars of 5C

 Good morning ladies,

First off, I can’t comment on posts for some reason right now. Crafter, your wreath was amazing with just the leaves but all together, it was gorgeous.

So I think I’ve finally made My colleague Rob’s retirement quilt. Every year his welcome back board has stars on it so I’ve made scrappy stars quilted with some freehand Baptist fans. I’ll wait till June to give it to him even though I want to give it to him now. The pictures aren’t great but you get the idea.  What’s up in your creative worlds?   Her

Felt Christmas wreath

This project was completed for a friend.

This is the project, before beginning. 

This was a lot of leaves to cut.

This is all the leaves attached to the wreath base.

This is all the pieces made to be placed on the wreath.

This is the completed wreath. It was a task to stitch the pieces onto this. It was the most challenging part of this whole project.

Starry Finish

 I borrowed some motivation from The Crafter to finish this scrappy star last weekend. It has a scrappy back and is quilted with wavy- straight lines. It’s probably a retirement gift.

What have you ladies been up to?
