Since we are still in holiday mode and not doing as much creating, I thought I'd show some more of the tags that I made for the class at www.joggles.com Tags are fun to make, give me a chance to use up tiny pieces of leftovers, and are relaxing to do.
This is the hanging that I gave my husband for his birthday just before Christmas. I had done one of our granddaughter at about the same age, but it has lots of lace on it-not the thing for a boy! He's in his Halloween costume.
Here's the finished Take it Further piece. I'm not sure about the buttons and the quilting together, but I like each separately. Thanks to Sharonb http://www.pintangle.com for a year of challenges.
Robin http://beadlust.blogspot.com/ requested a detail of my December Bead Journal Project, so here it is. I'm so glad she started this project. I've enjoyed it so.
I only thought we had a lot of snow on Monday. You can see from my car that I'm staying home.
See what Ati from Unlimited Textiles sent me. It's done with felting and hand stitching and is wonderful. Very appropriate for our weather this year too. Normally, the Pacific NW USA has very little snow, but this past week the weather has been much more like Montana where I went to high school and college.
This is the view out my patio door! The stairs to the deck are slick, so I'm walking the dog on leash which is just a good excuse to play in the snow. Deer tracks and rabbits tracks are everywhere. Our chickens won't come out of the coop and need to have new water every several hours when the other bowl freezes.
It's a game box complete with X's and O's. The box folds up nicely to store the game pieces.
The lesson is one from the new Box Making class that Sueb is offering in the New Year. You can find the information at www.twocreativestudios.com
I'm doing the color scheme again in the Take it Further Challenge offered by Sharonb http://www.pintangle.com/ This is a block I designed with Electric Quilt when I was checking out some blocks to use in a Nancy Crow class.
I had 4 blocks left that had too much white in them to fit in the top, so I started slashing them, rearranging them, and joining them again. I like this better and have put borders on it, now to quilt.
