Sew Something

I got the ideas from pinterest!  I think that this would be a fun gift made from Stampin' Up! Fabric!  Don't you just love how the colors all coordinate?

gotta love mason jars and Stampin Up! fabric!
Used the Dresden Die to create the Scissor fob and the Butterfly die for the accent.  Buttons, ribbons etc

Quilting was my passion...

I used to love sewing and quilting....that's how I got my email address (dee-quilt)...but I think I got tired of how long it takes to get gratification, and you know, we live in an INSTANT GRATIFICATION world....sad, but true.  

I jumped at the chance to get this die and it has taken me a while to do something with it. I pulled out my fabric 121716 Deck the Halls, and although it is a Christmas named fabric, it really has a nice antiquated touch to it, and doesn't have to be just for Christmas!

Dresden die 125597  32.95

 I used a scrap piece of fabric to 'hold' the stitches in between so it doesn't waste thread, and makes it easier to put in the next section to sew.  this really helps to cut down the thread snipping after you piece the fabric pieces together.  If you haven't tried, it you really should! 

I'm actually making this to be a centerpiece mat for my table, and it is completed I used the 3 1/2" circle die to make the center. I haven't taken a completed photo yet, but it is done!!! (really!)

Today, the BIG ROCK came to Long Beach!  It was transported from Riverside about 100 miles away and traveled through the streets to get to the LACMA - LA County Museum of Art.  This is the first time they have ever moved anything so big since the Pyramids in Egypt...HA...has anyone recorded anything like this since the pyramids?? ...what about stonehenge?  hmmm....

Zero Calorie, Zero Fat Cupcakes!

ok, so what else can I say? I wasn't too sure what I thought of this cupcake die, but after playing around with it, I have decided that it is really cute!

I added Designer paper from the Springtime Vintage and also used a strip of fabric, striped ribbon and assorted other ribbons and buttons to create these cute zero calorie, fat and no nonsense CUPCAKES!!!
They are so easy to assemble and we're going to make them in my cupcake class! What a great way to use the Springtime Vintage Designer paper and fabric! They are all coordinating!

Deck the Halls Fabric

This is late. I wasn't in the mood to sew much during the holidays, so I decided to use up some of the fabrics left over from the DECK the HALLS fabric that Stampin' Up had in their Mini Holiday Occasions catalog!

I cut up the little strips (1") and then sewed them into Log Cabin squares.

Don't look close at my quilting. it is machine quilted, and I still need to finish the binding.

But. I love how cute this mini quilt is! It is perfect for a small wall quilt or for a centerpiece for a table mat!

Let's yoyo with Deck the Halls!

Supplies to make YoYo's!

fabric

Circle die

scissors

yoyo maker (from big box store)

Cut out your circles

place in the yo yo maker.

be sure that your edges stick out around the disk that gets placed on top. The disk will snap in place

Sew in each of the holes. Be sure that the thread is in the right place. There are instructions in the package to make the yoyos

Remove from the tool, and pull the thread to gather

This shows the size difference! What a big difference...the circles will shrink significantly!

Now this is 3 concentric yo yos. I alternated the fabrics around, and this combination, Deck the Halls, is a very antique Christmas look!
