January ATC & February BOM

January is over and I realized I didn't show the Artist Trading Card I made this month.  I used some of the extra from my black and white quilt and made a "Tiny Tangle."

Here is the card I received in January from Vivienne in Italy.  This is called "Furrbabies."  She must have known I like cats!

Have you made your February Blocks of the Month?  Considering something around 400,000 people have signed up for this free class at Craftsy, I wouldn't be surprised.  Here are my two blocks for February.

And finally this is what I have done so far for my black and white challenge quilt.  I'm really having fun with this.  I used piping in between each of the black and white fabrics.  Someone asked me what piping is, so here is a link that explains it better than I probably could.  My piping cord is smaller than what they used, but otherwise I think I did it the same way.

Christmas ATC's

I've been busy lately, several projects in the works. The first is Christmas ATC's. Many people think of ATC's as strictly mixed media, paper, paint etc. Mine are stitched, cloth and beads for embellishment. I really liked this postcard I made last year.

So, I decided to try to shrink it. Postcards are four inches by six inches. Artist Trading Cards are two and a half inches by three and a half inches. I made ten of these and they are now traveling to five countries. I've already received two in the mail, once I get more I will post photos.
