Giveaway and Mini Quilt Art

Thank you all!   I reached my goal of 150 followers before March 31st.   To celebrate I am going to have another giveaway because you guys are just the best!  



First let me tell you a little bit about my mini pieces of art below.  I had small bits and scraps of fabric left over, after sewing up several items from the Sweet Divinity fabric.  I couldn't bear to part with it, so I decided to use a neat technique designed specifically for these little pieces.  

To start, I ironed on some fusing to one side of the Timtex.  I chose this as it is quite firm and I wanted the piece to be sturdy.  Then I cut up all my bits of fabric into even smaller pieces.  Once this was done, I placed them on the Timtex in a fun pattern.   The first quilt I let the timtex show through, and the second one I overlapped all the pieces.  

Apply heat to fuse them and you can be done.   I wanted to add a little extra so I got out my shiva paintstiks and stencils and played.   After curing for 24 hours I heat set it.   I fused on a backing, did some stitching and my little quilts are complete.




Onto my giveaway.  I have 5 fat quarters to give to one lucky fabric lover.   Here is what you have to do:

1.  Leave me a comment telling me what type of embellishing you want to learn about.
2.  Blog about this and it counts for 2, so leave me two comments.
3.  If you get a new follower to join, tell me their name and leave 3 comments. 

I will make the draw on March 31st.   Good luck!

Sweet Divinity Purse

Okay, have you seen enough Sweet Divinity yet from me?  No, I didn't think so.  This fabric is too much fun not to sew with.   But I did get a sneak peek of Amanda's next line of fabric 'Sugar and Spice'  and let me just say.... so so perfect!

Anyway, my other son decided to go to the birthday party that my first son was going to.   I needed a gift for him too.   Off to create with my Sweet Divinity.... I decided every little girl needs a cute little purse. 
This one has a soft ribbon for the strap, a cute button to cover the closure and the inside has striped fabric.  

I kinda want one myself.

Sweet Divinity Pencil Roll Up

My son has a birthday party to go to this weekend, and we needed a cute gift.   For a girl no less!!  With 2 boys in the house, sometimes girly things are a bit hard, as I am unsure of what the commercial trends are.  

No problem this time, I just pulled out some leftover Sweet Divinity fabric and whipped up a cute pencil/pencil crayon roll up.

Sweet Divinity Bag

A friend of mine has a child who wanted a new bag.  I gave them some of my Sweet Divinity fabric, as I thought it would be perfect.    And it was!   They whipped this up in an afternoon.
