My Mother’s Day gift from my children. A fun different type of crafting. 

Mother’s Day gift bag and card.

The bag is made from some Ann of green gables fabric I had left over from another project. Instead of buying a paper gift bag I chose to make MIL a bag. A bag that’s not too big making it easy to throw in her purse. Card is a leaf shape card. A idea from Pinterest.

A UFO baby quilt top finally done. Pattern is called Ice crystal. A paper piece pattern. It was a quilt challenge quilt by the Quilters inner circle on Facebook.

Saw this idea on the internet and ran with it. Took all my ribbons off their rolls and wrapped them around the piece of cardstock seen below. The following two pictures are the before and after pictures.

The bag is what they use to put their yarn in. Its decorated with knitting items.

Paper crafting for these two months

Seed packets for a friend who loves to garden and to save seeds. I included some small labels for her to write the name of the seeds/plant letting her decide where she wishes to put them.
