Is it calling your name?

Lost in creation.

I have found a site that I just have to share with all of you.
It is called Pintrest.
When I tell you I get lost in creation, that is no lie.
I can spend hours on this site. The whole concept of this site is to re-pin a picture of something that you love.  Now it may be a landscape, food, clothing, a photograph, or a craft.
If it is a picture of some wonderful looking food, you can click on the picture and get directed to a blog or website that will have a recipe attached.
If a craft is posted, you can click on the picture and most of the time it will direct you to a website or blog. Many times a tutorial will be available for that craft.
So follow the link to Pintrest and get your creative juices flowing.

Jelly Roll Project

I have a great project for the Jelly Roll Giveaway !!!

My current project is called Line Art. I found this great, easy pattern in Quilts and More, Winter 2010.

This quilt is still under construction but when I finish I will add a border and it will have a nice new home on my daughters bed.

Basically it is a Jelly Roll with a solid color added on each end of the strips.

 I am adding a border to make it big enough for a bed quilt but the original pattern has it without. The pattern can be changed up by placing the strips in different patterns.

Instructions for this quilt can also be found at: allpeoplequilt.com/439

A few more fun with fabric ideas.

Okay, here is another great idea. Get an inexpensive frame with glass.

Take a piece of fabric and wrap it a round the cardboard lining that comes in the frame. Use tape to secure the fabric. Get a dry erase marker and you have memo board.

Have it by a phone for messages, in the kitchen for shopping list, in your child's room for a to do list and great in a college dorm room.

I love this next idea.

What a great craft to do with your kids.

Imagine the endless possibilities.

Using up that stash.

My sister is the queen of thrift shops. She always finds that diamond in the rough.

Her latest quest is finding great picture frames. She will find a great frame with a ugly picture in it, remove the picture and use the frame. Now sometimes she will paint them for whatever project she is working on.

They can also be for displaying some of your favorite fabric. Come on, you know you have that special fabric that you just can't cut.

A great use for all those charm packs we have bought over the years.

Here we have different size frames with great pieces of fabric.

Inspiration

Where do you get your inspiration?

It really is amazing what will spark your creative juices flowing.

I love to look at pictures in magazines and on websites.

Take a look at this picture.

I love the lettering above the bed, another great idea for fabric.

Look at the headboard. Most of us now a days when we are purchasing our fabric for a bed quilt we buy extra to make pillows and pillow shams.

How fun would it be to buy a coordinating print to make a head board.

Now I am no carpenter but I am sure it can be make with a piece of plywood, some batting and a great staple gun.

You could take it one step farther and add some fabric cover buttons.
