shapes instead of her paper paper pieced instruction.
Step 1
Steps 2, 3, 4 & 5
I placed the entire mini quilt on to the card stock directly and stitched an outline around each applique shape.
So the back of the card will have the stitch lines as well. You can leave it as is or cover with another piece of paper which permits you to write your own special note. I wish to leave it as is for an additional design element.
Trim out the edges of your card stock to have a beautifully uniform card. Other options are to use the folded card stock. This one will be used as a window in a framed card so the recipient can remove it for framing if they wish.
Tips:
Place stabilizer paper underneath the fabric before you sew to keep fabric from bunching up.
Drop the feed dogs on the machine and use a darning foot to be able to "free motion" sew.
The more colorful the thread, the more design element is added to your card.

OMG Cuties Completed!
My hopes were to get These Quilted. I accomplished much more! Both have binding as well! So excited. I must add labels and they will be in the finish category!
The pink anchor quilt was easily quilted in a fun circular spiral using the walking foot. I'm brand new to quilting so I am taking much pride in this finish!
The "It's A Boy!" was also quilted in a spiral consisting of straight lines. Aren't those little duckies just the most adorable ever?!
Head over to Elm Street Quilts and view all the other Fantabulous! Successes for the month of June!

Christmas in .... June~
From Dec 21, 2016 until June 20, 2017 Pat Sloan hosted a 25 block sampler she named the Winter Solstice. I joined her and Many other sewists in a journey. I am so tickled with the Christmas vibes I get from my completed top!
I used a small stack of Lynette Anderson Designs Fabric from RJR Fabrics called Festive Fun. Very Festive indeed, look at the details in her drawings on the fabrics!
There are snowmen, Santas, puppies and kittens, mistletoe and holly. See the line and a few of Lynette's projects with Festive Fun Here.
For the 2.5" blocks I used all scrap so it was fun to see how the final look turned out. I adore the little French lady. And the daisies made an appearance some how in the lighter blocks. So whimsical and I adore it!
The "Precious Fabric" star was my favorite of all the blocks even though I chose to use a bold red instead of a precious fabric.
You can create your own Winter Solstice, find all the patterns and setting at Pat's Blog. They are Free! And Fun! Share your projects with her!
