My heart canvas

I made this picture for my bedroom wall; it's a fairly large canvas - about 20" x 12", and it's mostly made from bits in my vastly overflowing scrap box.

I sewed 3 little buttons at the bottom of each heart. Because I like things in groups of 3.

I love it, but it got me thinking - this would be a great thing to make out of all those cute, sentimental baby clothes. Like a memory canvas for a nursery. What do you think?

Reverse applique

I've been meaning to try this for ages - reverse applique!

This basically means you cut a hole in your fabric, and put the contrasting fabric behind it.

Simple!

I made this one into (another) card. I think I might save it for Mother's Day.

Love is in the air...

 Getting organised for valentine's day with some machine stitched applique cards.

Hoping to get them listed in the etsy shop soon, meanwhile you can also find them on Shazronnie makes stuff on facebook.

Quick card - handmade Thursday

For a special friend's wedding anniversary.

This is simply a fabric heart glued onto card, then I ran the sewing machine around it.

Easy, but I think it looks very effective.
