Fabric Chirstmas Cookies Arrived

This year Norma of Fabric in Altered Art 2 hosted a fabric Christmas cookie exchange. You can read about my cookies here. Our cookies were mailed to Norma and she packaged the cookies and mailed back to us. She included the following recipe:

Hot Batch of Christmas Cookies

Made with delicious cotton fabric dough, appetizing frosting of gel medium and acrylic paint, sprinkles of lovely little beads, paper dots and paper words. Then baked to perfection with a nutmeg or brown acrylic paint.

Fat Free, Calorie Free and Sugar Free! Enjoy

Thanks to Norma for a wonderful swap. They are the perfect addition to my tablescape in the breakfast nook.

Fabric Christmas Cookie Swap

Norma is hosting a Fabric Christmas Cookie Swap on Fabric in Altered Arts 2. The inspiration was an article in the 2009 holiday issue of quilting Arts Gifts (No Bake Treats). I found the most difficult part was clipping and turning the edges to the back of the cookie before attaching the back. I tried three glues and didn't find any of them to do a great job. My Ultimate Glue usually works on all projects but didn't stick well on this one. I think the issue may have been that gel medium was applied to the fabric and it become almost plastic-like. And we all know how much fun it is to glue plastic.

I am however pleased with the results. This is the 6 cookies that will be mailed to Norma. I made a dozen cookies plan to use the others I made a gift tags.
