Big Shot Rag Quilt


I spent this holiday weekend making a rag quilt for Christina's dorm room. Originally it was going to be for a little girl, but my daughter liked the fabric so much, I decided to make it for her. I cut all the fabric with my Big Shot die cut machine using the scallop rectangle die. The Big Shot will cut 8 layers of fabric at once. That made it possible for me to finish this quilt in just a couple days. I am very pleased with how it turned out, but most importantly, Christina is too. I'd love to answer questions or show you how easy this is to put together if you're interested!

Season's Greetings!



I know it is August, but I fell in love with this card the moment I saw it in the 2010-2011 idea book & catalog. Our demonstrators group had already planned on doing a swap with a card CASEd from the new catty. I just had to duplicate this one. It took me a long time to mass produce it...so many details! But I am very pleased with the end result. Maybe its not too early to start listening to Christmas music after all...

Be Strong

We have a lady at our church who has breast cancer and is going through chemotherapy. I meant to send her a card this week, but didn't get one in the mail. Then I saw this beautiful box "card" on Connie Tumm's blog. I decided to make one of these for our friend instead. You can see Connie's box here. Here are some pictures of mine.
