Setting up the Christmas Bazaar

 Enjoy my video of the Bazaar. It was a very busy week getting everything prepped. 

If you watch closely you will see several quilted items for sale. We have a few wonderful quilters in our parish!!!

Christmas 3-D pictures from SVG files, cardstock, and my Cricut

These are so fun to create on the Cricut machine

I bought the svg files from Etsy. Then you download into your computer and upload into the Cricut Design Space.

After that you pick out your colors from your cardstock and start cutting. Layering is a little time consuming but fun. Once all done, I put them into these shadowbox frames that I purchased from Michaels.

I cut this one today so haven't had a chance to layer it with adhesive foam spacers. The spacers come in black and white and 1/8" or 1/4". Some layers are glued together and some have the spacer. The spacers are what gives them the 3-D appearance.

All of these creations will be up for sale in our church bazaar this coming week.

Cannot believe it is so close to Christmas!!!

Enjoy!!!

 

Bazaar Prepping

 

Hi friends. Well, my quilting and sewing have slowed down lately because I have been doing some crafts for our church bazaar which is next week.

I've been making Christmas gift tags, cotton crocheted coasters-27 so far and 3 to go, and I made my first shadowbox picture. I am having fun but am ready to get back to the quilting and sewing.

I'm thinking of going to the $1.25 store and picking up some mugs to match the coasters and sell as a set, 2 mugs and 5 coasters!!???? Maybe even a small box of hot chocolate. It would make a sweet Christmas gift. Your thoughts??

Leave me a comment, I would love to hear what you think.

Quilted Bookmarks

I recently refound these quilted bookmarks, unfinished, along with several others and decided it was time to get them done. All they needed was the lace ribbon at the top and the edge stitching. So one done, and many more to go, but so fun to be finishing them. Hope you enjoy them. Martha From Catholic Answers: Question: What does the symbol of the P with an X through the bottom of it mean? Answer: You are speaking of the chi-rho monogram. Though the two letters look like P and X in the English alphabet, they are actually chi (looks like X) and rho (looks like P) from the Greek alphabet. They also happen to be the first two letters of “Christ” in Greek (Christos). Hence the chi-rho monogram is used as a symbol of Christ, Christianity, and Christians. I started these bookmarks several years ago and "found" them recently. So now that I am feeling better it's time to finish them up. You can see the one that I have edge stitched and added some ribbon lace at the top. That one is done, and the other is on the todo soon list. These are fun to do. The fabric in the front is silk and the back is cotton. There is stabilizer in the center. I fuse all the pieces together.

Snowmen Applique by BunnyHill Designs-Snowbound

So I was working on my other blog and decided to delete the last post, and deleted the last post on this blog. My brain is not awake yet!! This is a pattern that I have had for many years and actually got all the applique done several years ago. So I decided to pull it out and get working on the Irish chain part of the quilt so I can get this finished. It's past time to get this done. The Irish chain blocks are tedious and with all my brain issues I have had, impossible for me to work on. But now that I am improving I am actually able to do the piecing withour overtaxing my brian. I am thankful for that. I chose a little different color palette than the pattern design and love the green with the blues. I hope you enjoy the sweet snowmen.

Henrietta Whiskers from Bunny Hill

I am prepping some hand applique for an upcoming camping trip. I have had this pattern for many years and decided it was time to jump in. I thought I had the fabrics for it, two collections, but they are for another quilt from Bunny Hill!!!! SOOOOOOO, I had to pick fabric from my stash which was actually a lot of fun. All the fabrics are chosen and I am halfway through the cutting for the background blocks!! This quilt is so darn cute!!! Happy Quilting~Martha
