In preparation for Christmas I set aside packed away my circles quilt and promptly forgot about it. Outta sight, outta mind.
I broke out the sewing machine and iron this morning and got back to work. It’s really coming together quickly now. I was very surprised when I laid all the pieces out on the living room floor that I was only 8 circles short. Easy peasy to whip those up.
Hopefully I’ll have a completed quilt to show by weeks end!
This swap sounded kind of fun. Not your typical over the top Valentine business dripping with sap.
Just a quick ATC using mostly scraps and trash.
The substrate is a waffle box. Book text for background. The “snowflakes” are bits cut from tablecloth I cut up to use as doilies in antique bookcase. The metal is from around the neck of a wine bottle. I had to print backwards, which is no easy feat for me, with an embossing tool to make the word SNOW. I lightly grazed the raised metal with Staz-on ink to give it definition.
I’m so fascinated by hoarfrost. It is so beautiful… This time I got up close and personal with it. It’s so amazing that my little point and shoot camera can take these photos!!
Wanting to play a bit, I pulled out an old project so I’d have a direction.
I don’t know why I’m having such a hard time completing this book. I’m thinking maybe it’s the book itself. I didn’t choose wisely with this one. It’s too stiff and unforgiving. I fear that I’m going to break the binding if I bend it too far…which is a very likely scenario. My friend Elizabeth has a great tutorial for picking the right book to alter. Too bad I didn’t read this BEFORE starting the book.
UHU sent me a tiny candy box, papers and the UHU gluer roller this month.
I took a few extra goodies from my stash and came up with this design.
Check out the full instructions on the UHU Blog.
There may be some free samples left…
