Mini ART Quilt with the Laser Square

While at the CHA Winter Show in January I taught a Demo-nar (Seminar/Workshop) where we created a mini ART Quilt

using my new line of stamps from Unity Stamp Company , the Get-It-Straight Laser Square from KellyCraft Innovations, Trims from Expo International, stamp pads from Clearsnap, threads from Kreinik, fabric glue from Beacon Adhesives, buttons from Buttons, Galore and More , hangers from VELCRO® and no bake clay from Makin's.

To create I used the Get-It-Straight Laser Square 

to help line up the triangle stamps.

Then it used the Get-It-Straight Laser Square

to stamp out my design....

which is the "Flying Geese" pattern in quilting, getting it lined up

and straight was easy with the Get-It-Straight Laser Square.

Once you have your images stamped....

• Place fabric on top of batting and backing fabric and quilt around flying geese pattern.

• Arrange die cut flowers, buttons, clay buttons, word, and trims in a pleasing manner then sew or glue into place

• Stitch a running stitch around outside edge of quilt.

Have fun and be creative!

Get-It-Straight Notebook

"Just a Note" Notebook By Ann Butler Designs 

I love journals, notebooks and paper; I like to doodle, draw and write. Which may be why I like to create little notebooks and journals to have on hand for unexpected gifts and such. This little notebook was a snap to make since it was actually a purchased notebook that I picked up at a dollar store where they were 3 for $1....and yes I did pick up several to have on hand. I created the saying "Just a Note" with the Mandolyn font from the Duetica Lettering System. I printed the saying out on a piece of scrap print card stock by placing the print cardstock into the corner of the white card stock (where I knew it would print) with removable adhesive dots; making it easy to take off of the white card stock. I trimmed the saying down to fit on the front of the journal, inked up the edges, used my "Get-It-Straight" Laser Square to perfectly align the saying, glued it on and added the rhinestones. Created quick and easy, make several to have on hand for gifts!
