Challenge #387 at Shopping Our Stash is ~~ Inspired by Quilting.

January 26th is Visit your Local Quilt Shop Day so here at Shopping Our Stash we want you to be inspired by Quilting.  I have done some quilting, not huge queen size quilts but some place mats and a purse.  I really dug deep into my stash for a lattice sizzix die, I can't remember when I used it last and the patterned paper is a couple of years old. It has been so long since I have crafted anything,  things got a little busy over Christmas, some "bugs" and I had a lot of trouble getting back into the swing of the challenges.  I am so happy that I could join the rest of the design team for the challenge.

Very simple way to make a quilt card, I die cut the lattice and glued it to the patterned paper and embossed it, layered on early expresso glued it to pink which I machine stitched it to the expresso layer. This is a 5 1/4 inch square card.

The above card was my Plan B since I had not located the Gina Marie Quilt Die that I planned using, Murphy's Law says as soon as you finish the project you will find what you were looking for and I found it, since coming home from the summer at the cottage I haven't managed to get everything in the proper place. So here is my plan A.

So many possibilities with this die, I decided to go with neutrals and I made two.

I used some ancient double sided paper from Stampin'up long retired

Just to show the difference when you reverse the patterned papers.

I hope I have inspired you to join the challenge at Shopping Our Stash, I'm looking forward to seeing your Quilted project.
