Celebrate Card and Union Jack Quilt

Well, once again I have been spending more time sewing than card making and my little blog sits unattended so I made a card to celebrate finishing a quilt top!

 

For this card I used the Too Kind stamp set and just stamped the flowers upside down to look like fireworks and added a little sparkle with Dazzling Details.

The "Celebrate" is from the Best of Birthdays stamp set which it only available until March 31.

 

 

Now onto the quilt that I am celebrating.

Perhaps I should wait and celebrate when it is all finished and quilted but this one took so much of my life hours that just finishing the top was a huge success.

 

I love tea time and all things British so when I saw this pattern called His Royal Union Jack in the January/February 2014 McCall's Quilting Magazine I knew I had to make it.

This was the first time I have done paper piecing and after the top was finished and it was time to remove the paper that alone was a 5 hour job!

The cute red fabric with the little tea pots in the picture below will be the backing fabric.

Love it!

 

And, just so you know, I am working on some cards so will have some to share soon.

 

 

Happy Stampin' and/or Sewin'-
