I was reading blogs using the "next blog" button at the top of my blog and found this great FREE pattern to make rag quilt letters. It was quick to make the set and fun. how often do you get to sew and not have to turn things inside out to hide seams? I used white flannel for the back of the letters.

When you click on the link to get to the website, go to tutorials and then you'll find the free download. After I printed the letters I glued them to thin chipboard and made templates.

More owl cards...my daughter called and asked if I could make her 30 Christmas cards. I decided to use the pattern I had been using and made her a stack of owl cards. I still need to make her a few guy and gal birthday cards. Also made one more Thanksgiving card.

We have beautiful Fall weather today and it put me in the mood to make some Fall cards/spinners.

Here's my November quilt square for the Hip To Be Square swap. It is a disappearing 9 patch. We have the month of December off from swapping.

A couple guy birthday cards I made this afternoon.

Introducing Ink Girl...

I got an idea to mail out Ink Girl for a sort of "Flat Stanley" type project. It will be called the Travels of Ink girl. I have created a Shutterfly digital blog and will be making a book of Ink Girl's travels. I'll post pictures occasionally on this blog of her travels. Here she is...her bags are packed and she's ready to go once I get her laminted! The laminating will be sort of a rain coat for her during all her travels. Can't wait to see what adventures she'll encounter. If you haven't already been invited to host Ink Girl for a few days and are interested in participating in this project, send me an email.

Here's the first of my Christmas cards

I don't make all one design...just get tired of doing them that way. This is the first of several I will be making. Then to type the Christmas letter go to in them and I can leave on vacation.

So far today I've made 2 pair of flannel PJ bottoms for my girls and a Pooh dress for my granddaughter. I need to stop sewing and get busy making Christmas cards!

I'm almost caught up for the year

I finished a couple spinner cards and my November and December inchies for the year. The lighting on the pictures isn't great but you can get the idea.

...I'm back to stamping

I needed to make some TY cards and wanted to use my new embossing folder. I love the way this folder looks! I had a wonderful birthday and still have lots of cards to post on my Art From My Friends blog.

Some more sewing...

I made identical dresses for my granddaughter and my co-worker's granddaughter. This pattern is so fun to sew.

Click over to my Arts From My Friends blog...my mailbox was full of birthday mail yesterday.
