Birthday banner

I had lots of fun this weekend making my first banner, I love how it came together. I even impressed my sister (an expert scrapbooker) asked me if it came from a kit!

I went to a scrapbook store and bought pink paper from all over the store, and used their die-cut machine to get my letters and the scalloped circles and squares and smooth circle.

I also got some coordinating embellishments and ribbon from the clearance jar.

I also added strips of hot pink tulle in with every other ribbon section

I used a hole punch and tied the ribbons in a knot between the two letters and just a little ribbon loop on the ends to hold the banner up

Baby Quilt

Baby quilt for my SIL complete.

I think they are adorable.

I love the stained glass affect, you can see through the quilt.

And with some of the left-over scraps, I made this

 warm and comfy strip quilt, with minky on the back.

I really love how the binding turned out. First time having a "scrappy" binding,

 and third attempt to making the binding with slanted edges

(rather then straight)when sewing each end together. Thanks to this binding tutorial.

and with some of the mini scraps, I made this card.

You can check out even cute-r ones here; (thats where i got the idea.)

 I think it goes great, especially with a sewing project gift.
