    Finally some progress

    January 26, 2010 - By 

    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!

    Snow ATC

    January 15, 2010 - By 


    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.
