Party On

Felt Garlands
What do you you do when you realise your felt is over flowing,
and you want to find ways of getting it to make money for you
rather than it going to waste, as I don't use it as much as I used to..
I got my sidekick cutter out, finally got around to purchasing a few different size circles
and got cutting, and I haven't even made a dent in the felt pile.
Problem now is I will want other colours to match those I do have to make more garlands.
(I never ending circle! such a bad pun!!)
Sugar & Spice garland 
Pretty in Pink garland 
Sugar & Spice mini bunting 
Loop ends and cute buttons 
More loop ends and buttons 
Vintage blue floral bunting 
Pretty.

Bunting & Pillows

Bunting & Pillows
I have got into scalloped bunting!
after making some for my shelves in the kitchen to go along the shelf edge
I got the bug and they look quite pretty.
I cut the circle out of a full width 5" square
cut in half, sew around the curve, snip the curve (a must on curves!!)
then iron the curved seam open as best you can before ironing flat
otherwise you get that not so curved edge.
And sandwich in between bias binding

Pirates V Santa Claus

 
12ft Mini Pirate Bunting
2.5" wide flags in reds, blacks & whites
24 Mini Felt Christmas Stockings
Mini red, white & grey garland

What do you prefer?
Now if you are female I guess the stocking garland, as long as each one contains a chocolate
But if you are a boy, pirate bunting is the way to g, but I guess he would like both...

Doll Quilts & Bunting

The sun popped out
and I was at home
I got some mini quilts photographed 
I used Cape Ann Fabrics for 3 of them
 one in blues
88 2.5" squares into 2" squares
One in Green 
And one in pink
All with spotty bias biding from my shop 
Matching scallop bunting
2" wide 1.5 metres long 
Loop ends and cute covered buttons
to finish the ends ready for hanging 
And then some more..
A simple grey pompom quilt
would make a great baby photo prop 
A slightly smaller one
Liberty of London prints 
Think I have shown this one before
a candy mix of pinks and prints 
Love making these
just too many fabric collections to choose from!
