Happy Wednesday! I don't have any cards to share just yet but I do have a two crafty projects to show you today. Both I am embarrassed to say that both are late gifts to my mom and a close friend. Since making cards, they seem to be all I do these days but I had to get these finished before the holidays roll around again.
First up is a Halloween quilt that is for my mom and I wanted to be sure it was finished before Halloween rolls around a second time after giving it to, yes it is almost 2 years late! But I know she will love it no matter what and it was so much fun to make too. I collected Halloween fabric from all over just to make it special.
Next up is a counted cross stitch I made for a sweet friend and she just loves Star Trek. I found this pattern on Etsy from Pixel People,they have so many fun patterns to choose from, just pay, download and print them on your computer. This is the fourth one I have made, Dr. Who, Golden Girls, Big Band Theory and now Star Trek. They are pretty quick to stitch and my next project will be Scooby Doo, a Christmas gift for Ashleigh, even though she is 21, she still loves watching the cartoons. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my craft projects today...have a great week!
Quilting and cross stitching as well? WOW, these are fabulous. Your mom and friend are sure to love them.
ReplyDeleteDang! You've got all the crafty things goin' on!! I had to chuckle at the Star Trek cross stitch. Got a friend who would adore this!! Great quilt too. It's too hot here to even think about quilts, however. : ) Nice!! Bev
ReplyDeleteYou are such a nice daughter! Your mom will love that great quilt...can't believe you are so crafty with all kinds of materials...cards, quilts and also needlepoint. You are so smart!
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous projects Kim. The quily for your Mom turned out beautiful and the cross stitch? You are amazing.
ReplyDeleteYes your mom will love this and bet its sooo worth wait ! Love the counted cross stitch! I used to do that all the time.......I should take it up again. Good for you ...doing all kinds of crafting.
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful crafty gifts, and I'll bet that the recipients will be happy to receive them, no matter how late. Or, perhaps they are early for some other occasion in the future? Those Halloween images on the quilt are just darling--they remind me of some stamps I have seen. And, a Star Trek cross stitch--well, that is just incredible.
ReplyDeleteThis may be a duplicate comment--don't know what happened! I'm really impressed with your crafty projects! A quilt for Halloween is such a fun project, which I'm sure your mom will love. And the cross stitch is adorable--love those little people designs!
ReplyDeleteOh these are so wonderful, Kim! I keep thinking I've got to make time for some other craft projects--like the cross stitch 90% complete I've had for so many years. These will certainly be treasured!
