New Year, New Quilt

Just finished this quilt top with the Cross Terrain pattern by Lee Heinrich from Moda Bakeshop!

The construction itself was kind of frustrating because I am out of practice, but it was a nice challenge to get back into the swing of things. Looking forward to quilting more in the future when I have some free time!

The New Year

We're starting a new year with new fabric and new projects. This is just a sneak peek at what will be coming soon!

Recycled Envelopes

Hi all!

Firstly, I apologize for being gone so long. College is really busy this time of year! But, I have done at least one crafty thing since I've been here. I got tired of sending those blank white envelopes through the mail, they were boring. So I decided to make my own!

First, I used the extra map that my dad had printed of my campus in the first few weeks of school to get around. Needless to say, everyone was coming to my room asking if they could look at the map for directions! I wanted to use something recycled that I didn't need anymore and this was just sitting at the bottom of a box in my room. It's also quite large, so I can easily make lots of envelopes out of it.

Then, I drafted my own pattern. I know it would have been easier to just take apart an envelope I already had, but the only ones I had were an unusually small size. The pattern I made easily fits half of a regular 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

Trace it onto the paper of your choice (hopefully something recycled)!

I then folded up the edges of the pattern and traced around that so I could see where to fold the edges in.

Cut it out and fold the edges in. Put glue on the edges of the bottom flap so it sticks to the other edges of the envelope and not to the inside.

Glue it and you have yourself a unique envelope! You can do this with magazine papers, newspaper, old books, anything really. It's a really simple project that let will let the recipient know you're thinking of them.

Happy crafting!
