Cupcake Dream

Recently I was commissioned to create a paper quilt from a lovely young man who wanted to give a picture to his wife. Isn’t that a lovely thing for him to do. After asking what she liked and was interested, in we hit on her dream – to own a cupcake store.

I have thought about doing Paper Quilt cup cakes before. I have even been asked to make a pattern of cupcakes before. BUT – something always got in the way. It just seemed too difficult. Why I ask myself now. Very silly.

This creation was such fun to make and once I got into these cupcakes I couldn’t seem to stop. So I ended up with nine cupcakes on a 3 tiered stand. Each one a bit different from the others in shape and decoration. Paper punched flowers and butterflies, Swarovski crystals, charms, pearls and bows. Even a steam roller got a look in.

Looking forward to doing another one of these.

Easter Rabbit

This little rabbit is so adorable. I have christened her Millikins. This design can be used at Easter time but would also make a lovely birthday card, gift tag or small picture. Create this design in any colour way or style you wish.

Create her in stripes or 1 inch squares.

Empress Jacket CG208

The Empress Jacket pattern can be created as a greeting card or small picture. Here are a few examples of how you can create the pattern.  Further examples will be added as they are created or sent in by other Paper Quilters.

 

Happy St Patricks Day – to all on the 17th.

May you always have…Walls for the wind.                                                                                                A roof for the rain. Tea (or a swift half or two) beside the fire. Laughter to cheer you. Those you love near you. And all your heart may desire.

I have a tiny bit of Irish blood in me, so I embrace it on St Patricks Day.

Here are a few Paper Quilts which embrace the Irish spirit. Four were commissioned to be patterns for the inaugural International Irish Quilt and Craft  Festival in 2012.
