Swoon Again... Again

Ok!  Thanks for coming back...  Here are the last of the nine blocks.  These pictures were taken really late at night after I finished them.  I taped them to my craft room wall and snapped their pictures really quick. :)  I just got too excited to wait to take a nicer pic!

Swoon...

Thanks for looking!

Swooning Again

Welcome back!

Here are the second round og blocks I've made with the swoon pattern.  These blocks measure about 24 inches square.  I love them!  I can see myself making these in a single block for pillows or a wall hanging.  Can't get enough!!

Swoon...

Thanks for looking (and thank for ignoring the ugly garage door that needs cleaned and repainted)!

Do you Swoon?

Have you seen the beautiful Swoon Block quilt?  I discovered it at the end of 2012.  (I'm a little behind... I've just been teaching myself to quilt over this past year).  Apparently that was all the rage at the beginning of last year.  Well, I"m just getting into it and I still swoon every. single. time. I see it.

So, I'm swooning along!

I'll post the blocks in sets of threes.  I've finished the nine blocks, and am sewing on the sashing.  I think I'll quilt the blocks and then sew them together and add border at the end.  My home machine couldn't handle a queen size quilt, not enough throat space to stuff the quilt in.  I also made it in blues and yellows.  The color of our room.  It's also my all-time favorite color combo.  I think I'll add a grey border (possibly, but definitely blue and yellow border).  I'm planning on adding a grey binding at the end.

Swoon with me please... ?

P.S.  Don't mind the ugly garage door.  It needs to be cleaned and painted.    ;)

Like the washi tape holding up the blocks?

Monogrammed Cards- Part 2

Hello again!

Here are a few more cards I made for my SIL.  I made 50 total cards for her.  I managed to make a few extra for me at the same time :)  Love it!

I used a circle punch and tied twine to match the red circle.  The first dark is a deep plum color.  I embossed the plum color with the "traffic Jam" sizzix folder and the green circle is embossed with a circles and dots.  I used the cricut cartridge "boys will be boys" to cut out the j with the arrow.

Super simple, but very elegant

This is one I made at the very end from left over scraps.  It was fun a challenge to put together, but I love the design.

Thanks for looking!

Monogrammed Cards

Hello!

Just before Easter, my SIL asked me to make some cards for her.  I thought I would show you the designs.  I absolutely love them.  A few of the designs I'd seen around on Pinterest and adapted them to work for me.  Some of them are my creations.  (Thankfully my SIL and I have the same initial, so I made some extras for me while I was at it!) :)

Enjoy!

I love the colors on this one I made

Found the idea on Pinterest, and since I'm also into quilting, this was perfect!  Loving the chevrons right now

My own creation.  Used my Cricut to cut out the letter.  Then used a scroll punch on the blue tag.

Thanks for looking!
