Check out these cute spring carrots that I made over the weekend:

My dining table decorations.
If you'd like to make some simple carrots, too, here's the demo on YouTube:
(I admit that I didn't use the wedge template.
I made my own wedge from paper. I just estimated, & you can, too!)
My 20 year old niece, Aubrey, is taking after her mother: they're prolific quilt makers!! With collaboration through Google Hangouts, here's three labels I machine embroidered for her today, as well as one proposed and disposed (I saved it though for future use cuz it's so easy to modify!):
This was a fun one to make! I selected the musical staff and then stacked her name in a wavy style on top of it. Nice idea, huh? |
I'm not an Oregon State Beavers fan (my alma mater's arch rival!), but Aubrey needed it for her father. Oh well! |

Aubrey chose this one instead. |
I'm linking up with friends like you on:
You've been busy. Your niece is sure to like the labels. Has she got a destination for them?
ReplyDeleteHi Marly, I wish I had photos of all my niece's quilts that those labels will go on. Yes, they have destinations. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYou sure can find some fabulous tutorials on youtube!
ReplyDeleteNow you can enjoy them, too!
