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!

Blue Squares

Throw size appx. 38" x 54"

I thought I'd share with you a cute little quilt I made and finished the other day.  I took me just a few days to get all the pieces cut and sewn together.  It took me a bit longer to quilt it because I outlined all the large squares inside and outside of the seam.  I did the echo quilting and tied off each square.

Around the little "dancing" squares I just followed around the outside and stitched in the ditch.  On the border I straight line stitched four lines on each side and they intersected in the corners.

My little one had claimed this quilt as his.  I'm thinking he needs a quilt for his bed now.  Hmm...

I used (an older) but absolute favorite line of fabric- "Spa" by Deb Strain for Moda.  Love it!!!  My favorite color combination is blue and yellow (add white and grey and you have a winner).  This fits the bill perfectly.

Over the front railing on the porch 

I used a pattern I bought at my LQS.  The pattern is called "Square Dance" by Gigi's Thimble.  I love how easily this went together.  This should have been my beginner quilt.  Oh well, I shoot for the stars instead of the moon. ;)

Over the bench I refinished (with my little one's baseball glove and my hubby's cleaning brush). Just think of the extras as added character. :)

Enjoy your day!

Quilting Pics

so pretty

Getting ready to quilt hearts

I quilted hearts in free motion quilting.

another pretty shot of quilting

In the final stages before squaring it up and adding binding.  But first we had to test it out with a "picnic" for snack time.

Forget fancy binding clips, my clothes pins work great.

 Enjoy!
