Jelly Roll Quilt Moda Chocolate and Roses

 

Nothing from me in months and then two posts in one day!  Don't get too excited as I don't know when the next one will be!  Lol!

I used a quilt pattern I bought off Etsy.  

As suggested in the title, it was made using a jelly roll from Moda called Chocolate & Roses and it was originally intended for a friends 50th birthday.

Well, I decided the colours really weren't right for her (see my French Braid quilt that I made instead) so put this to one side.

Eight years later, I have finally finished it!  And then when I was sewing in the ends on the reverse side, I nicked the back with the scissors.  

Only I could do that!!!😢😢😢😢😢

Pretty Balloon Birthday Card

 

Hello!  

I actually made this in February but with one thing and another and another, getting in the way, I'm only now posting it to my blog.

The image was free from somewhere but because it was a few months ago I can't remember where from.  Doh!

Die cut banners and words.

Gamers Birthday Card

 

Free image from PngTree.   

Matched the colours in the image to my collection of cardstock and made up the background to match.

Hope he takes up another hobby before next years birthday otherwise I think it will be pretty predictable!  Lol!

Polish Paper Cuts Christmas Card

 

These are unbranded Polish Papercut dies that I bought from China.

The intention originally was to make a birthday card for my friend who is very proud of her polish heritage but we had some work done on the house and it felt like you couldn't move in any room for weeks on end so any type of crafting was out of the question!

So, this may have been my one and only handmade christmas card for this year, but the recipient really did appreciate it!

 

FAO LAURA: Who left a comment on the Poinsettia Ribbon Christmas Cards

 I tried to contact you personally but couldn't find a way of doing it.

If you go into a well known online marketplace and search in the die cutting category for China dies, you will see some come up which will lead you to others.

Some people use AlliExpress where it is all based in China.

The quality can be sometimes a bit questionable but for the price, I'm prepared to take the risk.

I really hope you see this and apologies for not replying sooner but I don't get notified when someone leaves a comment. 

Thank you though, it was lovely to read.
