I found a place to hang my fabric so you can see the whole repeat..I wanted to give you an idea of scale too!!
But then George the workerbee that he is sat down in his cozy chair and I couldn’t resist…I’ll post more giant pieces throughout the next few weeks…all my best, Jennifer

Just a quick one but then mine always are!!! This is so easy and fun…get yourself some posterboard 14″ by 4 1/2″ to be exact but you can vary size depending… Cut a piece of fabric twice as big and wrap around posterboard clipping away any excess and glue down. (I only use hot glue I refuse to be slowed down by drying times) and fold your fabric tightly around all sides and glue into place. Next fold in half and if you have any trims, pom poms work best ,glue to the inside bottoms now (be certain that both sides are glued down to the inside cardboard and let dangle……what you’ll have are letters that you can just slide right on to the ribbon one by one. I glued mine in place by just hot gluing the inside top centers of each posterboard letter. Then for fun I used a scallop shaped die-cut and pre-glittered letters…..and of course these are the new Sis Boom Bellbottoms I was chatting about!!! The possibilities are infinite……so go crazy.

When cupid strikes go with it!!! 22 years ago I married the man of my childhood dreams and it just keeps getting better….He knows and gets me completely and has never run when things get ugly or difficult. He’s pensive , thoughtful, generous, and humble and speaks my language! I am forever blessed by his caring and open heart…he teaches me the beauty of everyday and loving unconditionally … I love my man!!

The fabrics are in!!!! At least mine are so I can get ready for Portland Quilt Market…..Hope to see some of you there! Here’s a sneak peak hope you like….they’ll be available mid march so start dreaming now…...Freespirit will have them up on the site beginning March..
