Some of my favorite peeps were born in May!
For this layout I decided to make a quilt! I
learned this technique from Jennifer in a card swap this fall. It is a very
simple technique - MUCH simpler!! than constructing a fabric quilt : ) I made
this quilt in honor of my sister, Beverly : )
One thing I did not plan well with my quilt was the
size of my quilt squares in regard to the size of the "Huggy Bella" image I
wanted to use! Under the cute hugging friends is a lime green pinwheel! The
pinwheel is a wonderful addition to the quilt but all that can be seen is the
top right corner of the pinwheel. Next time I would leave the pinwheel design
off or else use a smaller image. I considered peeling the green point of the
pinwheel off but realized it would spoil the card so I decided to leave it
alone.
I embossed the entire quilt with a Cuddlebug
Folder, " Houndstooth". I also embossed the paper strip under the word May with
the same folder. I loved how Jennifer selected this folder because it makes the
quilt look... well, "quilted"!! Brilliant idea : )
I computer generated the sentiment from one I read
on-line.
"Friends are like quilts - stitched together one
piece at a time"
I hope you are enjoying my calendar as much as I
am!
