And, exhale. . . .
Now that the Lothringer wedding is over and we have returned from Jason's grandma's funeral in Corpus Christi, maybe I can update my blog! I am very, very excited to say that I'm planning to work on quilts this afternoon as soon as Seth goes down for his nap! One for Jenn, which was supposed to be for her wedding a year ago (my god, I'm slow), and one each for the new(ish) babies belonging to Michelle and Monique. Again, Monique's baby is coming up on a year. Michelle's won't be a year until September, though, so I've got a little time, there! :-)
Here are pictures of the card samples I made for my cousin Anna. She was excited to get them and said that she made notes and has sent them back to me. I can't wait to see what she says!
When I made this one, I remember thinking it was kind of boring, but actually, I really like it now!
Here are two variations on the same theme. A white sheet atop a pastel print, atop a darker pastel cardstock that I've texturized. I could either do the scallop edge on the pastel print or keep it simple. I like them both.
This one is really a bastardization of the invitation that Jenn Lothringer made for her wedding. I think it's really pretty. I told Anna that we'd do the flowers in colors (versus the black that the middle flower is in) so it will all match. I love the sparkle the little bit of Stickles adds.
Here are another two that are a variation on the same theme. Cutting the flower out and putting it on with the brad would definitely take some major time.
This one doesn't show up in the picture very well, but it turned out really cute, too.
That was it for Anna! My crabby kid needs a nap. :-) And then it's happy quilting for me!
