Bargello done....

This quilt has taken me such a long time to make. It was started in a twisted bargello workshop ( I can't remember the exact date so it is ages ago) I have worked on it at craft on a tuesday night with our UFO/ PHD group. ( I think that the ladies at craft will also be glad to see the end of it also)
So thanks to the UFO/PHD ladies it is finished!!


Not sure why the text at the top of the page is all underlined. (crazy computer!!)

Gift Card Idea!!

Here's an easy idea....create a pocket onto your card to place a gift card.
Now who wouldn't love to receive one of these. I will be making these for those hard to buy for nephews in our family.(teenage boys!!) I cranked up the sewing machine to make the pocket on the card. I had lot's of little scraps of Christmas papers leftover from making my Christmas cards and decided to use some of them up with this quick idea. Attach a sticker and embellish!!


Here's a close up.



Since we have been getting lot's of rain....K decided that it would be a good idea to have a mud bath.... needless to say she now has glowing skin!!
