Amy Butler Lotus pouch

Ok, so I have a serious addiction to these little bags. They are easy to make and so cute, and a great way to use up little squares of fabric. Anyhow, all the bags I`ve made these past few days are gifts, except for the 1st two I made (those are for me!)

Large cosmetic bags

Yesterday, it poured rain here (suprising, I know) so instead of doing things around the house I made these 2 bags instead! They are for a friends 2 teenage daughters. One of them is very interested in Japan, so I was happy to find asian inspired fabric. They turned out pretty large, so they could be used for anything, not just cosmetics. Anyhow, today also happens to be Fabric Tuesday at Quiltstory, so these bags will be linked up there. Great place to get inspired!

Bella wedding card

A friend of ours is getting married on Saturday, so I made this card for her. The stamp is by Stamping Bella, I used pebbles shimmer chalk on the dress which gives it a nice sparkle. Hard to tell in the photo though.

Zippered pouches

I`ve had this fabric for awhile now, and I desperately needed new cosmetic bags so I followed a tutorial for the larger bag from Noodlehead blog. For the smaller pouch, I used an Amy Butler pattern. So cute and easy, I`ll be making more of these soon!

Another apron!

Here is another reversible Emmeline Apron (pattern by Sew Liberated). The fabric with the roses is Amy Butler, which one of our local fabric shops started selling recently. I really like the bright colors, it`s feels very spring/summer, and today it is finally sunny out!

Charlotte`s Quilt

Here is a quilt I made for Charlotte when she moved to her big bed. I normally just have it folded at the end of her bed, and have never really taken a photo of it. I really like the way the bright colors pop against the black fabric. I`m linking this over to fabric tuesdays at Quiltstory.

SU! cards for June class

On Wednesday, I`m finally doing another card class-I don`t know where the time goes! It's almost summer, girls are done of school in another week and a half. I thought I would accomplish so much more as far as crafting goes this past winter, but that is not the case! Anyhow, all supplies above are SU! except the Robin`s nest dew drops and the stickles.

Birthday card SSSC118

Maybe I should have photographed this in a more shaded place, but since we've had almost no sun for 1 month, I thought let's enjoy it! This is for a birthday party my daughter is going to on Sunday, based on the newest sketch at The Sweetest Thing blog.

Sherbert pips 9 patch

I made this Sunday night with a sherbert pips charm pack. I used the disappearing 9 patch technique, there are tons of tutorials online for this. I backed the blankie with some cuddle chenille. I've linked this over to Fabric Tuesdays on Quiltstory. I've been having trouble posting since yesterday, so yes I know this is a day late!

Tulip Quilt

I made this quilt about 10 years ago, BC (before children) while living in Alberta. There was a fabulous little quilt shop there, where I learned to quilt. I took many classes, and this tulip quilt was one of them. I believe the pattern is by the Buggy Barn, not positive though. It was the first quilt that I ever appliqued, and the whole thing is hand quilted, which took a long time, but is so beautiful in person. I still love this quilt after all these years, love the deep purple of the tulips, and the different shades of neutrals on the back. There was one fat quarter I used that was sparkly snowflakes, that one was my favorite. I am just now posting this quilt because I wanted to share it on the Bloggers Quilt Festival that Amy Ellis is hosting.

Father's Day Card

Here is a card for my Dad (who is a farmer, and always plants a huge garden) for Father's Day. The stamp is from Stamping Bella, I used prismacolors to color. I'm trying to use up some leftover paper from last week's stamp-a-stack, so you may see similar color combos more than once!!

Lisa's cards from Saturday class

I hope you don't mind Lisa, but I am sharing your cards from Saturday's stamp-a-stack in Windsor. Kelly has also posted all the cards on her blog at My Stamping Studio.
We had a great time on Saturday, the participants made 24 all occasion cards (2 each of 12 designs). We have already booked the Christmas one for October 23rd!

Reusable snack bags

I made these yesterday for part of a birthday party gift. They are great for dry snacks for school, in the car etc. and are machine washable. I use nylon for the inside, so lots of times I just brush the crumbs out with a damp cloth.

SAS card 4

I just finished the last card for stamp-a-stack next Saturday. I used a sketch from the blog the sweetest thing for her sketch challenge 115. I used a Taylored Expression stamp and the sentiment is Stampin Up!
