Simply INKredible Stamping

My Latest Quilt

I made a new quilt and gave it to my niece.  We both love tea and so I thought she might like a quilt with teapots on it.  It turned out beautiful.  Quilting is my second love next to my rubber stamping.  I stamp more than I quilt - all crafts are wonderful.  God gave each of us the ability to craft.  All you have to do is try and it will come to you.  You will make new friends along the way.  Have a blessed day.  Martha

Liz quilting

Today I held a Quilting with the Big Shot Class...  I had 3 in attendance.     Liz, Kathie and Karen went home with a beautiful quilt top.  Here is Liz with her gorgeous pink quilt.  She did a fabulous job and she has never made a quilt before.  As a matter of fact, Karen had never made one before either but Kathie has made some quilts.  Have a great day.  Martha

 

I made another Quilt

I decided on Monday to make a quilt for a Christmas present.  it is the first time I quilted a quilt on my sewing machine using the patterns in the machine.  It turned out beautiful.   Check it out>>>>>

I am so amazed what my sewing machine will do.  Quilting is my second crafting love right behind stamping.  I finished it on Friday night just in time to give for a Christms gift.  I can't wait to begin another one.  This one was pretty easy.  But for now, back to preparing for my January card clubs and my scrapbook clubs. 

I hope each of you have a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous new year.  Blessings, and thanks for visiting my site.  Martha

Scissors Holders in Fabric

I have been sewing this weekend.  My church, Pilot Baptist on NC 39, Pilot, NC, is having their 2nd Annual Quilt Festival and Craft Faire on Saturday, November 24 from 8 AM - 1 PM.  I will be selling these darling scissors holders.  Aren't they cute.  I also have made a table top runner, several wall hangings that are quilted and ready to hang, and some other items you will love.  All the proceeds go to our new Family Life Center  that is to begin construction soon.  Please come out and help us by purchasing Christmas gifts and lots of handmade stuff (food too).

The scissor holder is made using the Petal Cone die (121810) .  First you will need our fabric adhesive (122194) between 2 coordinating fabrics ( pages170 and 171 in our catalog) then cut to 6 X 6".  Cut out with the petal cone die, then cut off the piece on the side that is used in paper cones. Sew together and press the front top down.   Cut 2 coordinating scallop circles or flowers (Flower Folds die (115970), Fun Flowers Bigz die (121812 or Blossom Party (115971) or the scallop circles 2 die from last year's catalog.  You will need some Bakers twine in any color that coordinates or white (124262) and a Vintage Faceted Designer button (127555).  I used a big craft needle, threaded the twine and sewed the button to the top of the petal cone folded back and tied the bow.  You are done.....  It all takes less than 1/2 hour.

This is a quick and easy gift to give to a quilter, crafter or seamstress.  If you would like to purchase the items to make the scissor holder, please visit my website at http://stamp4martha.stampinup.net .  Click on Shop now and add these items to your order.  Don't forget the clearance rack for some wonderful bargains.

Have a beautiful day.  Blessings, Martha

Quilting with Martha and her Big Shot Die Cutting Machine

This quilt is made with the Candy Cane Christmas fabric that is on the Clearance rack now.  It takes 8 packages.  You will still need a piece of fabric for the center piece and for the backing as they are large pieces and the facbric packs are 3  larger than fat quarter pieces.  The top can be made, from start to finish, in less than 4 hours.  It is quilted by a long arm quilter.  It is a shabby chic quilt.  Hope you like it.  You can order the fabric at my website http://stamp4martha.stampinup.com and click the shop now button, then clearance rack.  One package is $.99 so it's a great deal.  Hurry before it is all gone.  Blessings, Martha

More of Alaska

 Thanks for visiting today.  I don't know why some of my pictures are coming out so small.  Sorry.  I think if you click on them they will enlarge.  I am so computer illiterate.  This is cruising up the inside passage.  The mountains were so beautiful covered in snow.  I hope you can see the beauty of this one day(if you have not already).

  
 

We had a business share at 11:30 one night.  This is the desserts they served.  The glasses were special Stampin' Up! Plus One glasses.  Plus One is our theme this year.  I had so many desserts to eat and gained a few pounds for eating them, but WOW, I enjoyed it.  The samples share was fabulous.  Here are some of the samples.  I am sorry I can't give credit where it is due because I didn't write the names down.

You know I love quilting so I was interested in these designs.

 

Here is a t-shirt made by Christie Harsch. She used My Digital Studio and printed on transfer paper and ironed it on her t-shirt. She had several samples and all were just beautiful. Great job Christie.
 

 
 
Here is a interesting book.  It uses our new Paisley Petals designer paper that was a sneek peek last month.  It's a great project.


 
 

 

Here are some items that were on display in our trading post. We went to the trading post everyday to spin the wheel for free product.  Stampin' Up! is so good to us.

Thanks for visiting my site today.  Blessings, Martha
 
 
 
 
 
 

Quilting in Virginia

 
 

 
 
 


Look at all the beautiful quilts we made in quilt class in Virgina.  Everyone was so happy.  Look at all the smiles.  Some of the girls had not used their sewing machine for a number of years.  We cut out the circles with the Scallop Circle and Scallop Circles 2 for the Big Shot.  There is very little sewing on this quilt.  We glued the circles on the fabric with Stampin' Up!'s glue stick.  The quilt is then quilted by the owner or it is taken to some one who has a long arm quilting machine.  I would love to teach everyone how to make this beautiful quilt.  It takes about 4-5 hours to get it ready for the quilter and then another 3.5 hours to put the binding on.  Enjoy your day.  Email me if you would like to make a quilt of your own.
