"Sew-long 2008!" Challenge


Gina K. over at A Day in the Life blog has issued a challenge to create a card that has stitching on it. Now I LOVE to sew and quilt, and the challenge brings together those interests with my newer passion for creating handmade cards, so I decided to play along. I dug out my Paper Quilts book, and settled on a simple block pattern.
The Wassail paper pad from Basic Grey was a natural choice, as the papers remind me so much of vintage fabrics. The stamp is from Close to My Heart's "For Every Occasion" set. The brad is a Wassail glazed brad, and the metal snowflake is from a Making Memories set I purchased several years ago. Now I'm thinking how cool it would be to use Amish colors with this pattern....
