Ten Cents Quilt


I made this quilt for my daughter. She absolutely loves her quilt! She even picked out the colors! She drags it all over the house with her and has to sleep with it every night. I followed the pattern by Me and My Sister Designs and it's called Ten Cents.

Here she is, watching mommy take pictures of her quilt. She has to always see what mommy is up to. She also wants to make sure I don't do anything with her quilt!

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge 51

This was a great challenge for me! I used paper from DCWV The Cardstock Stack and DCWV The Stack 6. The image is called MLSMflowers from Bugaboo. I used my Cricut Plantin SchoolBook cartridge to cut out the oval. The buttons and brad embellishments came from Hobby Lobby. I used my Crayola Super Tip Washable Markers to color the image. You've got to love Crayola! Thanks for the wonderful challenge!

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge 50

This card was really fun to make. The image came from a stamp that my mom had given me. I have no idea where it came from. I used my Prismacolor soft lead pencils to color the image. I hope you like it!

Pillows for Co-Workers

Posted by Picasa

Due to budget cuts, our small school of ten teachers is losing three! I wanted to do some thing special for them, so I made these pillows for them. I really hope they love them and that they bring them special memories!

Retirement Gift

Posted by Picasa


My boss is retiring and I really wanted to do something special for her. My sister and I designed the quilt. I used T-shirt iron on transfers for the pictures. You have to make sure that when you print them, that the printer is set to print it as a mirror image, otherwise you will have a picture backwards when it is ironed on. We ironed on each picture and then sewed all the blocks together. The letters on the header and footer were cut out by my Cricut and I used the Disney font cartridge. I used wonder under to iron them on (make sure you iron the wonder under on the fabric before you use the Cricut to cut them out) and then sewed around each letter. It was a lot of sewing but I was able to get it done in two weekends. Let me just say my boss absolutely loved it!
