This card is for the PTI Blog Hop and Mojo Monday this week.
The inspiration photo this month (see below) was so pretty and I was inspired by the mixy matchy fabric patterns. So I also chose floral, stripe and polka dot patterns.
I cut the paper with the die from Button Boutique. I love that little guy! It wasn’t quite as hard as I thought to keep the papers lined up. I just used a clear ruler to guide me as I laid them down. The spool was stamped on kraft paper and cut out. I thinned out the middle section of the spool to allow for the thickness of the floss. Wouldn’t this be cute paper pieced too?
And last but not least, this week’s Mojo Sketch. Click on sketch to visit Mojo site.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the Blog Hop. Be sure to visit again. I have RSS and email subscription thingies on my side bar!
Enjoy, Rebecca

Love the paper patchwork swatches and wound bobbin. Sewing themed cards are a great favourite of mine and this is a first class example!
I spy some of my favorite papers here! Very sweet card ;)
Such a sweet card Rebecca! Love how you combined the two challenges.

WOW - that sketch and the stamp set were meant for each other! I LOVE this card - those OA papers are so pretty, and I never did get them - so I love seeing others' projects with them. I just LOVE your card!

Beautiful quilted card! Love the pattern paper. I have some too and will be sad when it is finally used up. Just lovely!
I love all the little snippets of patterns and colours. The quilting design is a great inspiration.

Beautiful card and design. I love the wound string and the "messy" stitching too!
I love your take on the challenge! The assorted patterns beautifully reflect the style of the inspiration. The spool of thread is an adorable accent!
What a fabulous card! I especially like the fun little spool with thread!
Rebecca, I just popped by to say thank you so much for the wonderful tips you left on the Create blog. I have recently pulled out my sewing machine (after far too many years of neglect) to use it on my paper projects. I appreciate the great information you provided. Thanks so much!
