Fabric + Big Shot = Birthday Quilt!

Hello friend!

This was a fun wall quilt I made this summer... and didn't hang until this month because I was waiting for one of my family members to have a birthday.  (It hangs in September for both Tim and I!)  The letters are all cut with the Serif Essentials Alphabet (item #113464), and the cupcake "tops" are half of the Scallop Circle die (#113468). 

Here's a close-up so hopefully you can see the extra fun I added:  beads and glitter!  I started with a Chunky glitter (now retired), but it didn't seem quite right.  When I added Dazzling Diamonds glitter, it just seemed to pull it together!  The photos don't do it justice, I'm afraid--you have to see it in person to get the color and that sparkle.


When I bound the quilt, I wanted to add prairie points, and the Big Shot came to my rescue because I cut them with the Scallop Square die (#115950).  Currently I am piecing a Halloween wall quilt, and I'm going to add prairie points to that one as well. 

Would you like to learn more about using the Big Shot to quilt?  Stop by my house Saturday, September 25, between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. for a relaxed and casual Fabric Open House.  I'll have fabric projects on display, and you can play around with cutting fabric with the Big Shot.  Even if you are not a sewer, you'll be impressed, and I can show you "no-sew" or "little-sew" fabric projects, too! 

See you Saturday!
