We got the boot!

Our time on So You Think You're Crafty has ended:(

Whitnee and I had so much fun participating in the contest and it was really fun to do more than sew! 

This past week's theme was Cultural, we chose to make a fabric Lei, since our family has spent a lot of time in Hawaii and having Luau's we thought that was the most appropriate for us! 

We went across the street to the lake and Whitnee posed for some pictures.

Then she even did a hula dance!

So You Think You're Crafty

Whitnee and I have made it past another week on So You Think You're Crafty. This week the theme was Edible. So we made Edible Topiaries. They are made from Lettuce, grapes, strawberries, blueberries and tomatoes. After we made them we used them for a birthday party for Kathleen. They made a perfect addition to our party!

They were also delicious! I can't wait to have another party to make them again!

This week the theme is Ethnic. I'm really excited for Monday when we get to see what everyone has made!

Modern Baby Quilt - Tutorial

Whitnee and I have made it through another week of So You Think You're Crafty! This week we made it through with our Modern Baby Quilt. 

In case you aren't familiar with this contest it's a craft contest and someone is voted off every week. It's an anonymous contest so I can't tell you what we designed for this week.  But I can share the tutorial for our Modern Baby Quilt.
40"x43"

Materials needed:

1 Spirit Charm Pack

1/4 Yard Bella Solids Magenta

1/4 Yard Bella Solids Marine
1/4 Yard Bella Solids Prairie Green

1 Yard Bella Solids Natural
Kits are available here

From your Natural material you will cut a 14 1/2"x43 1/2" piece. Add a 2 12" strip to each side, as shown in the image above.

Now from your charm pack you will pick out 30 charm squares. Sew them together as shown in the image above.

Now take another piece of the natural material and cut it  18 1/2"x13 1/4 ". Then add a 2 1/2" border all the way around as shown in the image above.

Using our starch applique tutorial you will add the vines, flowers and leaves to your plain sections. For our circles we used a CD as large circle template and for the small circle we used a lid. As shown in the images above.

Now applique the flower in the blue section. Again using the CD as the template for the center of the flower.

Now sew all 3 sections together. Refer to the picture of the whole quilt. Then quilt, bind and enjoy!

I had fun making this little quilt because it's detailed yet it was really fast to make!

Hope you enjoy too!

Paper Flowers

I've mentioned it a couple of times but Whitnee and I are trying out for So You Think You're Crafty.

I am so excited to announce that we've made it past week one with our Paper Flowers.

We stepped outside of our typical crafts and decided to work with paper. I think they were super fun to make and I can't wait to share the tutorial.
