Quilt Show!

Hello friend!

I'm enjoying a quiet evening at home.  Yesterday we set up our guild's quilt show, and today was the first day.  You've still got one more chance to attend the show--tomorrow from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Park Street Brethren Church, Ashland. You'll be glad you stopped by!

Let me show you some photos I took today.  It is our guild's 25th anniversary....

This Christmas table runner was my entry in a guild challenge:

Hannah made this flag quilt:

This is my entry in the "ugly fabric challenge" and Natalie calls it my "ugly quilt."  (I purchased an assortment of blocks at our guild's auction last year, and managed to put them together into a mass of craziness!)

Happy Quilting!

Hostess Appreciation Brunch

Hello friend!

Today was my Hostess Appreciation Brunch!  Each year I plan a fun morning of stamping, prizes, food, and fun for my wonderful hostesses. We start the morning "under wraps" and while we have our brunch, no one can see what we'll be doing.

As the morning progresses, more of the table gets exposed...  let me show you some of what they saw and received!


My top hostess receives a gift certificate for Stampin' Up products and the top three receive a gift.  This year I made them these boxes of supplies:



Each box contained ribbons, stamped images, embellishments, and die cuts. All they need are the base cards and some adhesive!

My happy hostesses.... if only they could all attend!  

I always have two projects for them to make.  One was this card:

It uses several new colors to our line:  Smoky Slate and (returning) Crushed Curry. Also part of our 2013-2015 In Color line is Strawberry Slush.

This purse box was made with one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 card stock--also in one of our new In Colors, Baked Brown Sugar. The Designer Series Paper is Venetian Romance--page 153-- and I love it!  (actually, you cannot see much of it here--trust me, it is gorgeous)  The accent colors are Tangerine Tango and Soft Suede,and the flower stamped on the front was done with Crisp Cantaloupe.  You guessed it, another 2013-2015 In Color color!

Happy Stamping!

So much is going on!

Hello friend!

No time for photos today--too much is going on--but I wanted to remind those of you who are qualified for my Hostess Appreciation Brunch on the 22nd that registration is due by tomorrow!  Fun things planned, you do not want to miss out.

Stay tuned and I'll get photos of new cards and quilts and fun stuff on here next week.

Have a great weekend!
