Quilting Bee

I've been trying to adhere to the sentiment on this card this week, and I think I've been pretty successful - enjoying a nice lazy summer and tuning out all the bad news swirling around.  Everything is temporary, don't ya know! 

Here's a quick and fun way to make a QUILT!  So much faster than dragging out the old sewing machine, cutting all those pieces of fabric, etc., etc.   

I used SU's Lattice die to cut out a few different pieces of patterned paper.  Then I randomly glued the little ovals into the voids, and embossed the whole panel with the Finial Press embossing folder.  The panel was then attached to a card which had already been embossed with the Square Lattice embossing folder.  Texture on texture!  Easy as pie!  

This next card is an even simpler version - the lattice and ovals were directly adhered to the card front, and the whole thing was sent through the Finial Press EF.

These really are cards you want to TOUCH.  And there's something comforting, familiar and sentimental about the quilt motif......... makes me feel a little warm and fuzzy inside!.
