Christmas Presents: Scarfs of Many Colors

This year for some of my girl friends, I bought 6 in. of all different colors of fleece, in order to cut strips at the end to make them more like scarves! It was a quick but fun project, and very inexpensive too!!

I tried to get prints or colors that went with the gals personality.

All Stacked Up!!

They look so neat in black and white! :)

Christmas Gifts: Hand Made Fabric Cards

Every year I try to make home made cards. First of all because most of the time I can not find cards that actually say "Merry Christmas", second because they can be really expensive!! and Last because it means allot more to people when you make a card for them.

This year I did something a little different. I used about 8 different fabrics to create different designs for the front of the card.

I did this by cutting the fabric into squares, then cutting a piece of fusible interfacing to the size of the card. Then you place the squares in different designs and iron them to the interfacing. Then I sewed in a zig zag stitch the edges of the squares. then I sewed the piece to the card its self on the out side edge.



It was allot of fun to make these ones!! The one above I just took some scraps and did more of a rap quilt look!!

Here is a just a portion of the cards... I had already by this time sent out the ones that needed to mailed. I made about 30 this year!! And what a fun thing to work on while listening to Christmas music!!
