Stiggys Crafts

A couple of friends who got married recently have been waiting for their first home to complete and it did today. I wanted to give them a card so decided on a quick make. The cutting file was brought from Esty I then used my scan n cut to cut the shapes from some vinyl.  I love the scan n cut for this as you just place the bits on the mat and once scanned in move the item to the right position and cut. Once at l used some transfer paper to put the image Straight onto the card blank. I am really pleased with how this turned out.

I have never made a quilt before but had brought some fabric dies to use in my Big Shot Plus, I cut out a number of squares from each piece of material and the worked out a pattern I liked.  Before I did any sewing I found some help from  Pinterest and You Tube! I sewed the squares into 12x12 blocks, then joined the blocks into rows and fixed the rows together. Amazing what you can learn online. I then watched some more tutorials and added the wadding and backing to the panel. Then I stitched each square to give the quilting effect. Now come the how part finishing the quilt of with some binding. I cut 2.S" strips of the backing material and joined them together. I then folded it in half, ironed it and attached it to the quilt.
