Life and New Pages

Hello Blog Friends,

I'm sad to report that Winter Woolies II is still in process.  Life, as we all know, has a way of sometimes getting in the way.  We seemed to have a busy week, but somehow did not get as much accomplished as we would have liked.  So, check in with me next week to see the finish of Winter Woolies II.

I did not sit idle the entire week, however.  Thursday night was scrapping group and we made some pretty cool pages.  As you know, my daughter Kristy is a Close to My Heart consultant, and she hold a group class once a month.  We make (3) 2-page layouts which are photo ready by evening's end.  This month we used the Hopscotch paper packet and coordinating accessories.  The sunburst elements were all cut with the Cricut machine in varying sizes.  These pages can be used for spring, or summer vacation pictures.  One of the members of our group is going to use them for photos from her winter vacation in Mexico.  Another is going to southern California this summer; these pages will be perfect for that!

Fun pages!  See you next week! 
 

Spring Tranquility Table Runner

I thought I would share a quick and easy little project that I made for the spring/Easter season.  It is a table runner made from a pattern called "The Big Easy" by Pieced Tree Patterns.  I found it at a recent quilt show.  I absolutely love the fabrics!  They are from the "Tranquility" line by Michele D'Amore for Benartex. 

The runner was made for a piano bench that sits in front of our living room window.  It is 42" long x 21" wide.  I used a large wavy stitch on the inner border and a large meander on the inside section.  It was perfect with my Easter decorations.  Although the Easter decorations have now been put away, I'll leave the runner until I decorate for summer, sometime in late May.

I've named it Spring Tranquility after the fabric line it is made from.
