Bookatrix board ?
I must see if I can get that in Aus.

Gosh Jean does make a lot of cards, all of them beautiful.

Jean do you use the embossing boards to get the shape of some of your cards?

The book one I made was done with the Bookatrix board made by 'The Glitter Girls', I have several of their embossing boards.

More of Jean's cards on the blog.

I keep saying that I will try the book cards but I don't get around to it. I think I have now lost the instructions. Will have to look.

The children's cards are for my Gt Gt nephews whose birthdays are within a week of each other.

the open book card, in red is very nice. I would like to have a go at making one in that shape.
the children's cards are lovely too.

Just had a look, some beautiful cards there, well done everyone:o)

Oh hello
Son1 and his wife were married in Prescott Arizona. in their summer, up in a forest where it is 12 degrees cooler than in Phoenix where her parents live.
The reason they now live in Maine usa is she building up a primary health care clinic there.
there are only about 14 of the 50 states of america where naturopath practitioners can legally register and set up business.

Jude you really stay up late, or is the sun still high in the sky for summer?

Has everyone seen the quilts by Moonbi on my blog? Worth looking they are so lovely.

Moonbi it is lovely, I am sure I would not have the patience. Did they get married in canada?

Son1 and daughter were so excited when I gave them the quilt.
I took it to Arizona on the plane to keep my eye on it so it didnt get stolen.
The week before the wedding they opened it up and laid it out on the big bed, I saw she had tears in her eyes.

On the day they got engaged I decided to make them a quilt. and I finished it just a month before the wedding. so it took me 11 months to make, from designing to quilting. that was 2008.
It is lined with 2 layers of wadding, one of cotton, and the other of poly. They live in freezing weather in Maine, and they say it keeps them so warm even on the coldest nights.
Only trouble it has to be steam cleaned to keep the pleats in shape.

Jean, sorry to take so long answering had to go and get gr/son from school as he was unwell. Yes I am still making cards but I keep forgetting to take photos of them , will try and send some to Ann soon.
I have actually taken my christmas stash out of the cupboard to sort out in readiness to begin my christmas cards.

It would be lovely to have a family heirloom like those quilts they are really something to be proud of.

Aren't those quilts beautiful, what patience to quilt and embroider the wedding one - I think that is my favourite. What a lucky son and daughter in law I hope they treasure it for many years, it is an heirloom.
