Quilting - pink, green and yellow pinwheel quilt pieces with hand stitched stars


 I have been working on this project for a while.  I hand stitched the stars, chose the fabric and it sat for quite a while.  The other day I had a bit of time so I cut the strips I needed from each colour and stitched up the squares.  They are now sitting and waiting for me to have a bit more time.  I will have more time once the garden is harvested and the fall cleaning up is done!!  Therese

All occasion card featuring a napkin layer, punched border, flagged strip with embellished brads and a cute daisy


 I worked up another card using part of the daisy napkin!!! For this card I added a green border to the bottom edge of my card which I had bordered punched with this leafy pattern.   I trimmed a piece of white cardstock and added the daisy napkin (top layer only) by gluing it to the front and then the edges over to the back.  I added some paper piercing (pattern tracing wheel) and then adhered it to my card front on the left.  I watercoloured the little daisy yellow and added paper piercing to it as well.  It fit just perfectly in the bottom right hand corner with the daisy element to the left.  I needed a bit of something to add above the daisy.  I finally decided on a piece of green cardstock paper pierced, flagged on the end with three little embellished brads inserted near the flagged end.  Perfect!!!  I adhered all my elements to my card and added the daisy with 3D foam tape.  Really happy with the way it turned out!!  Therese
