15 quilts found a home - and a card

Well the 13 quilts I made and two from another guild member have found a home. The nursing home has such strict rules we could not leave them there so I called the cancer clinic and they said they would be thrilled to have them.  They can give them to their patients who can bring them back and forth for their treatment. So, once this terrible cough of mine is gone, I shall bring them there.

Yup, another cold thanks to hubby who came down with one last week. His is a head cold, mine is in my chest. Horrible cough. But, once again, this too shall pass!

Today I'm posting the second card I made for my friend who wanted a more masculine wedding card for her grandson. She picked the other one and I think this one is more geared to an engagement but who knows.

 

This giraffe stamp is an oldie and I seldom use it but it sort of fits for this type of card so maybe it will get inked up a little more now. Pretty quick and easy card to make. Circles are from Spellbinders and the bookmark is from Sizzix. The stamp "the perfect pair" is one of those small .99 stamps that came with a tiny pear but I didn't use it.

Well, back to quilting. The basement (oops, lower studio) is a bit damp and not the best place when I have such a cough). I'm making a crazy quilt using my serger - an experiment that is working out fairly well. This quilt is going to ChildCan who gives quilts out to every child diagnosed with caner.

Congratulations on Engagement Card

Another very hot and humid day today so another day staying indoors as much as possible. I ventured out last night long enough to water the garden but that was all. Too hot to bike or even go for a long walk. Thank goodness I have indoor hobbies to keep me busy.

Today I'm posting a card I made for my granddaughter and her fiancee. Much to young to be getting married and they are not planning this soon but he wanted her to know that he was in this relationship for the long haul. Nice to know. Getting the university diploma comes before marriage! He is a very nice young man and good to her so that's what counts in this Grandma's eyes.
Here's the card I made for them.

The card base came from Hot off the Press (Paper Wishes). I bought a couple of packages of them when they were on sale. First thing I did was add a paper doily. The little bird stamp is just one of those .99 stamps that I coloured in with Tombow markers and then added some gems. I think the little hearts came with the birds. I used a heart template to cut the three different sizes and glued them together and then stitched around one. Sadly, I don't have a heart die! The leaves were die cut with a Sizzix die and the fern is Martha Stewart's. Then I added some little flowers from the dollar store and added a pearl in the centre. The beaded eye pins were made from some beads and pearls from my bead stash. Yup, I have a bead stash too. I think she will like it and she will know her Grandma and Grampa are happy she has found a good man to love.
