Crumb quilt squares in reds with a floral motif

Wanting to have some fun today I decided to make some crumb squares.  I dug through my crumb starters and found these red and white embroidered florals which  were in a batch of fabric I acquired a while back.  I had to cut them apart which left them with quite interesting angles.  The largest one unfortunately had been previously been trimmed close and I could not avoid stitching over the design.  I really enjoyed making these six crumb squares today!!  I have a small pile in my quilting box.  I know I have a couple other bright red ones in there and will have to work on created a few more that would coordinate with these ones to make a quilt top - purple would be very red hat, green would be very Christmas,  so maybe it will have to be blue or yellow!  We shall see!!  I managed to get everything cleaned up before supper which was excellent.  Works better when everything has a home.   Therese

 

Birthday card with a cute sheep, some ribbon and a "ewe" greeting

 Another January birthday card using an image I printed off a while back.  It is a digital of a cute little sheep with a heart on its butt and bird on its head.  (Beyond the Fringe Crafts) I started with a large envelope from my stash and created a black card to fit inside.  I added some blue decorative paper (digital) with a black ribbon across it.  I watercoloured the image, added a wavy line of paper piercing using my pattern tracing wheel and then layered it onto yellow to coordinate with the star and ribbon in the blue heart.  I mounted the image over the ribbon using 3D foam tape and then tied on a short length of yellow ribbon to the black one to simulate a bow and reinforce the yellow from the image.  I had added a cute little font greeting when I printed the image.  Worked out well!!           Therese
