My Quilt

Hello everyone! Hope your summer is going great. I'm sharing on the Miss Kate Cuttables blog today and I have a fun and different project to share with you rtoday. 

For my project I used Miss Kate Cuttables files and cut fabric on my Cameo. You just have to iron on stabilizer to the back of the fabric, place it on your cutting mat and cut away! Just make sure you have a sharp blade.

Three of the blocks on my quilt feature Miss Kate files. For this first one I used the Assorted Flower Set.

It worked perfect because it was a fairly simple cut.

I hand appliquéd around all the elements.

This one is my favorite - I just love this Decorative Doily file.

I just used one of the layers for my quilt.

Here is my final quilt. I took a beginners class held by my local Quilt Group - Norwin Quilters.

We meet once a month and it's a fun group!

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Miss Kate December Challenge

Hello! Today I'm sharing a few Christmas projects. The Challenge over on the Miss Kate Galleria Page on Facebook is Winter/Christmas. 

For my first project I created a chalkboard sign. I cut vinyl on my Cameo and applied a stencil to the chalkboard. I then painted with acrylic paints. I also painted the wood frame.

I used the Christmas Tree Words SVG File.

I did leave off the red dots.

For my second project I took the same file and did a print and cut.

I added these to Christmas cards.

Did you notice the quilted piece I used in my photographs?

I created it from a pattern from Julie - The Crafty Quilter. She offers a great free tutorial on her blog. Here is the link to the tutorial.

Here's a closer look at my Crumb Catcher:

Hope your holiday preparations are going great.

Fall & Christmas Mini Quilts

Along with playing with paper I've also been playing with fabric too. I recently joined a quilt group and signed up for a sampler quilt class. I did 12 different 12x12 blocks. It is currently at the quilters for machine quilting. I will be sure to share photos once I get it back and bind it. I did a few blocks where I cut fabric on my Cameo and appliquéd it to the quilt block. (click here for a previous video tutorial on how to cut fabric on the Cameo.)

I discovered an amazing quilter's blog - it's called The Crafty Quilter. There was a tutorial for an Amish Mini Quilt that caught my eye. Since I'm new to quilting the great PDF instructions were perfect for me to understand.

I made this Welcome Fall Mini Quilt: 

I placed it on my kitchen table and just love how it turned out.

I also decided to create a smaller one for Christmas.

I just skipped the outside strips and corners.

Here is a close up look.

Hope you liked the Mini Quilts I shared today.
