Halloween Quilt

All done!

Halloween Quilt

I have spent 7 or 8 years working on an appliqued and pieced Halloween quilt for my queen sized bed.  As I only work on it in October it's taken quite a while to complete.  I am almost done.  I am putting the blocks on a special page, and when I finish (hopefully this week) I will post it.

Braiding Rugs

I just noticed that I didn't gave anything about rug braiding on here! As that has lately occupied all my tv time, I shall add a new page for that.  I can't believe how behind I have gotten on this blog. I must do better.

This is the fairly large rug I made to go in my front hallway. It was made in greens and reds to match the part of my Coke collection that is on a bookcase in the hall. 

Swing Card and Easter Bonnet Girls

Added instruction and a How-to Video on Swing Cards.

Easter Bonnet Girls Notepads

Fun to fill with computer graphics, these Easter Bonnet girls make up really fast and easy. 
You can also print out the template plain and decorate with paper, paint or stamps.

 To the side is a sample of the template filled with computer graphics and printed out ready to cut and embellish.  I have also added a side view girl and a Halloween girl.  There will be more coming. The template is png and you should be able to copy and paste it into your program.  Love to see what you do with it. 

Easter Bunny with Egg Iris Fold 

Hi all, I have added an Easter Bunny holding an egg to the Iris fold page.  The bunny, with several different backgrounds, is available as well as two patterns for the egg.  I have also added a how-to video, using the bunny template, on how to Iris fold in case anyone out there doesn't know how. It's really pretty simple.  Be warned it's also habit forming.  I painted the bunny with Coral's Painter program and made the egg patterns with Digital Image 9.  The backgrounds were a combination of both. 
I've also updated the penny Spinner card template and added a how-to video for the Penny Spinner card

Venetian Blind Card

Added a new page and a how to video.

This is what a Venetian Blind card looks like open. Below, is how it looks closed.  I don't really like this card much, it's kind of plain, (I don't mean the graphic, Laurie's bunny is great), but I made it in a hurry just so I could photograph the steps for the instructions.  There is a printable, fillable template on the page with the instructions.  Try it out, it's super simple. I will have a video as soon as I can, but as we are going to Vegas for Spring break on Friday, so I don't know when I'll get to it.  But anyway, give it a try and let me know.
