"Creativity is the mind at play with

the materials that it loves."~Carl Jung

A friend inspired me when she gave me a "Mini-quilted Birthday Card"

to get out my fabric and ribbon embroidery basket.

I had made a ribbon embroidered crazy quilt pillow for my

grandaughter for Christmas as shown in a prior post.

I had some scrapes from that project left and could not bring myself

to throw them away. So I was delighted with the idea of this little quilt.

I decided to use my scrapes to make some 4" sachet angels with lavender

seeds inside for a delicate lavender smell.

Below are pictures of two angels made from the

crazy quilt scrapes and one made with raw silk and embroidered flowers.

Pictured below is my "Mini-quilt Birthday Card" and some

others that my friend has made.

@ 5"x7"

I finished another crocheted baby quilt, white with a blue edge
for a friend who has a new grandson.

That's it for now. I have enjoyed keeping my hands busy making these items, now

I need to get back to painting!!!!!!!
