Valentine Panel Ideas!

I took home a Valentine panel from the Chemistry line by Cosmo Cricket, and came up with a couple of fun ideas.  What do you think....?

Simply cut out the cards and a backing to the same measurement (I also added a piece of batting in between the two layers of fabric to give some stability).  Sew right sides together leaving a small opening in the bottom.  Clip the corners, turn right side out and press.  Top stitch around all four sides.  Cut a 9" piece of ribbon, find the center of the ribbon and then sew to the center of the card.  Tie a piece of candy in the ribbon and your are done!

The same method was used for the jar wrap, only add a piece of elastic in one short end and a button on the other short end.  Stretch the elastic around the button to secure the wrap around the jar.  I hope you enjoy these ideas and they inspire you to create some 'love' for the special people in your life!

Basic Grey Canvas Sampler Boards

You may have seen the blank Sampler Boards by Basic Grey.  We have them in a large variety of patterns and sizes. 

I chose a 8 x 10 canvas and the fabric line "Ruby" by Camille Roskelly for Moda.

It is such a great way to showcase some of your favorite findings, fabrics and yes, your stitches!

Use a variety of embroidery stitches and using 3 ply floss stitch around each fabric circle.

 Make a cute tag, wrap it around a pin and glue to create a great pin to weave through one of your circles.

Buttons - not just one button but a whole pile of buttons!

Gather a strip of folded fabric to create a cute ruffled flower and add an old button in the center.

For the one I made for my sis Sherie I used Sweetwater's new line, Hometown.

In total I have made 8 boards (I have a lot of Sisters), each one unique.

I was on Pinterest this morning (Part of my EVERY morning routine - facebook, pinterest, blog, email...) and saw a Pin of this darling bunting pillow

Just in Time for Christmas!

Today, my Christmas arrived!  :)  What could be better than CHEVRON STRIPES in multiple colors, but especially in GRAY!!!!!!

GENIUS!!!

Just like everyone one in this creative world, I am addicted to Pinterest.  My latest fab find, thanks to some wonderful customers LeeAnn, Diana and Janice, are little girl tutus made using crocheted headbands as the waste band instead of plain elastic!  PURE GENIUS!  Just take a look....

Simply do a search on Pinterest for tutus and you will find pages of inspiration!  I hadn't seen one made using scraps of fabric before this one, and it is by far my favorite!!  I can't wait to give it a try :)

Oh, and of course you can find the crocheted headbands at Pine Needles for only $0.99 each, and we have them in a dozen different colors.
