I have been admiring these simple cards on line for quite a while and finally took the plunge to see if I could actually make one. Generally, I like much more paper and embellishing on my cards. I started with a kraft card and added the cording. It is three pieces of thread - white, red and tan which I simply twisted together. It worked well but the twisting made the bow really distorted so I let out the twisting which was much better. I layered the little chickadee image (reused from another card) with red cardstock and adhered it with 3D foam tape. I stamped the greeting (SU) in black ink. Done!!! What a quick and easy card!!!

Slow Stitching Project - cat squares - Q2 - R7 - 1-5
I have finished another set of cat squares in my slow stitching project. I have two more rows to go to finish quilt two and stil have all the squares for quilt one to go. I will be taking a break and doing something else for slow stitching in the next while and will come back to these later one. I did enjoy using a chain stitch on two of these and it was fun to make one using a rainbow of colours instead of coordinating with the squares which has a limited palette.

Brown embroidered quilt
I worked on the top for this quilt (48" x 35") a week ago and managed to finish it this weekend. The center is two embroidered pillow shams sewn together in the center and to add the length I needed I added a green/coral border on each end using scraps of upholstery fabric. The batting is a flannel sheet and for the backing I used a floral fabric with a brown background. I stitched the batting to the front and then added the backing which I simply folded over on the edges to make the bindng as well. I added some horizontal lines to the end pieces and then about five more through the dark brown section of the quilt. Not too much puckering on this one. I used a plastic foot on my machine and it seems better for letting the top and bottom fabric move together. Another one ready to go!! Therese
