Today, I attacked my room. My dresser has become a catch all for anyone passing in and out of the room. I threw away a huge bag of junk and actually got down to the dresser itself!
The kitchen is relatively clean...we still have to eat I suppose.
So what else did I get done today?
Well, while sitting at the computer
I knew it was on my list of things to get done, but always got pushed to the bottom.
I thought about cutting out some fabric pieces with the cricut and sewing them on. But then remembered my sewing machine is out of commission for a while...and that my mom had all my fabric at her house.
How are those quiet books coming along, Mom?
Then I thought about just ironing some felt shapes to the quilt piece and doing a little hand stitching. But then remembered my sizzix machine is also at my mom's...along with my felt.
I had just about given up doing anything for this quilt square until my friend mentioned she was just going to draw on it with markers.
Hey, I have markers!
I have never stamped on fabric before and was kind of concerned about the loose weave this piece had. I held my breath and went to work. It turned out better than I thought.
Stamps: SU! Loads of Love, CTMH Charms Alphabet
Inks: Brilliance Graphite Black
Now I'll just leave all the sewing for the other ladies in charge of this project!
*Please excuse the abundance of smiley guys in this post, they were feeling neglected!*
Very cute quilt square! It reminded me that my mom gave me and my 4 sisters a bag of fabrics and a pattern to make a house quilt square for each of us so we could all make wall hangings. That was last summer and I don't think any of us have done a thing with it yet! I'm surprised she hasn't been reminding us about it! Well, maybe when I get my son's wedding over with on Friday...
ReplyDeleteHave a great summer with your kids! Enjoy them because they grow up REALLY fast!
I love the smiley guys, they explain your point. I love the quilt square. We just finished ours for the Family reunion and I'll have to tell you the funny story about it later!

Sorry I still have all your fabric and Sizzix things when you could have used them. You did a great job with the markers and the quilt square turned out great. I am making slow progress on the quiet books. DeAnna is coming next week to work on hers some more. Love, Mom
