Birdie Fabric

Hi,  I just couldn't resist showing you my latest fabric!!  It's "Birdie" by Me & My Sister for Moda Fabrics.  Don't you love the title? You know I love birds….as well as pinks & greens and I've decided to try my hand at making a purse.  I'll show you the fabric and then I'll answer some questions.

Q. How does this relate to stamping & Stampin' Up! ?  A. I'm using Big Shot dies to cut the fabric. The latest die I used was the Top Note Die.

Q.  What am I doing with all the flowers I'm making?  A. Christmas presents, Birthday Presents, Downline Presents, Incentives & I'm wrapping my gifts with Brown wrapping paper and attaching the flowers. 

Q.  Am I making a quilt?  A. That's a tricky question….let's just say I'm working on my squares.

Q. You're making a purse?  A. When I was in Hawaii I had so many people ask me about the purse I was carrying….it was a purse that was quilted and I bought it at my sisters shop in Tennessee. (I had saved it for months just to use in Hawaii.)  I've since broken the handle and it's showing some age….so I'm going to attempt to make a new one :)  If you never see it you'll know I failed.  Here's a picture of the purse.

It looks like they used a Charm Pack to me….has anyone seen this fabric anywhere?

Have a great weekend!

p.s. Here's a picture of how I set up for today.  My Digital Studio is on one side of my kitchen and the Sewing machine is on the island.  I'll share pictures of the table with fabric later …..that picture was blurry and I need to retake it…oops!!  And, I broke down and bought a sewing machine (I didn't get a quilting machine…I just couldn't spend that kind of money….maybe I'll upgrade one day.)

What’s up……

Hi!

 I'm happy to report the Halloween Kits are finished and ready to be mailed….early :)   I have a few left if you would like to order one.  Click here to see the details or place your order. 

I meant to post pictures of Founders Circle all week but there's just not enough hours in the day.  I did create an album and you can view it in two different spots.  Right under my banner you can click on Photo Gallery and then look for Stampin' Up! Founders Circle 2009, click on the first picture and the entire album will appear.  The other spot you can find it is on the right side bar of this blog…just scroll until you find the album.   (I have plans to create a Founders Circle Digital photo album with My Digital Studio but it may take me a while, I'm still playing catch up.)

Here's two photos that you will find in that album….. The first one is of Angie & I ….we share the same name and we dressed alike (total fluke….we did not discuss what we were going to wear).  The best part of Founders Circle was I made friends!!! Angie & I totally clicked like we were sisters 🙂

The next picture is a card that Jill shared with us …it was one of my favorites with the Sweet Centers stamp set.

I have more pictures to add but it may be next weekend before I can get it done.

Downline girls….the kits you've been asking for are available on our team blog…check it out asap….they're available while supplies last.   I'm testing the waters …..and making my 3D kits available for my team members.

This post is all over the place…..forgive me!!

Last subject….Quilted Flowers & My Digital Studio – Local customers & team members.   Stop by on Tuesday 2pm to 5pm to see a demo of each.  RSVP and I'll have the supplies available for you to take home a Quilted Flower. (RSVP…means I just need an hour or so notice.) or Thursday 5pm to 7pm.  (You'll also get to check out my swaps from Founders Circle.)   Sorry for the last minute notice….you will be rewarded if you can make it 🙂

Goodnight!

Tons of Quilted Flowers :)

Since I'm new to this quilting thing I'm like a kid in a candy store.  The fabric & the sound of the sewing machine….it's all so exciting!  It's just so amazing that I can make these all by myself :)  Once you get started I bet you can't make just one.  So far all I've done is make the flowers…the next step is to add the ribbon.  Once I do that they're finished.  You can add these flowers to your bag, presents & even make hair barrettes.

The fabric in the picture below is Figgy Pudding and I bought the charm packet at Quilters Haven in Olathe, Kansas.  Love the terminology….layer cakes and charm packets.

Here's the picture is of the flower that Jill gave me at Founders Circle.

Quilt Flowers & More!!

Good morning!

Today's one of those days that I feel like a Chicken with it's head…you know (hate to say those words…the visual is just not good).  So, look at this picture and then I'll explain.

Quilt Flowers

When I was at Founders Circle, my most favorite thing was I made friends. (Angie I miss you!!!)  Words can't explain how I feel.  I'm so blessed that you all have chosen me to be your demo and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me earn Founders Circle!!  I really hope I earn it every year but if not I'll remember this one fondly!!

Now I'll explain the picture….The Big Shot works with fabric and you can use our Stampin' Up! dies to make all sorts of awesome things.  The flower you see next to the machine uses the Flower Folds die and the center flower is the Circle #2 die.

At Founders Circle my 5th level upline showed us how to make those darling quilted flowers. You can add them to your bags, presents or even squares for your quilts.   I've never quilted and I've never used a sewing machine.  But, you know me….I don't see obstacles I see possibilities.  So, I dug Brooke's sewing machine out of her closet.   The machine is a Janome and it doesn't have a walking foot….but again I don't give up when I set my mind on something.   I'm happy to say it worked and tomorrow I'll post a picture of all the flowers I made last night.  I will admit a bigger and better machine would be easier but for now this is free 🙂

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

p.s. The voting ends for my Creative Contest tomorrow at noon. As well as my special for while I was away (Free kit (minimum order of $50) or Double points on your reward card). 

p.s.s. I didn't really explain why I feel like a chicken…..between My Digital Studio, Quilting with the Big Shot and all the awesome projects from Founders I'm on idea overload.  I wish I had more time!!
