Quilt Show and Card Making Weekend

 

 

My sister and I spent the weekend at her cabin up North.  We attended The Rim Country Quilt Roundup Quilt Show on Saturday.  What wonderful quilts and wearable art they had on display.  Animal quilts were a popular theme.  Horses, bears, dogs, and lots of owls.  Some quilts were embellished with crystals.  Lots to see.  Sorry I didn't take any photos.

 

In addition to the quilt show my sis and I spent the weekend making Christmas Cards featuring vintage images.  We took our scrapbooking supplies and Christmas embellishments and worked at her dining room table.  Sorry no room for food!

 

Here are some of the cards we made. We had so much fun on our sister's weekend! 

 

Many of the images are from my personal collection of vintage photos.  Others my sister found on the internet. 

Paper Doll Card

Last evening I attended a Paper Doll Card Class at Mystic Paper in downtown Mesa. The class was taught by Meri Wiley. We had our choice of four cards. You can see all four examples here. Meri had the classroom full of wonderful fabric and embellishments. We choose our paperdoll and then we began to dress our doll. We used Stickles to add sparkle, made skirts from lovely fabric, and added many more "pretties" to complete our card. Such a great group and Meri did a super job teaching us how make the cards. We left with more dolls to dress at home. A fun class. Check out all the great classes at Mystic Paper.
