I’m a Finalist!!

I was so surprised to get an email from Sarah over at the Craft Critique saying that they chose me as a finalist in their Fabric Challenge Contest!  WOW!  There are just 5 finalists, and they’re all beautiful projects.  Now it’s up to the public to vote for their favorite.  So go check it out!  (My project is letter A!)

I submitted this card that I made for a previous Valentine’s Day:

Stuffed Heart Valentine Stuffed Heart Valentine - side view

I made the centerpiece with some scrap velvet fabric from my mother-in-law’s old sewing box she gave me (Thanks, Mom!).  I cut a heart shape out of the center of a piece of cream cardstock, hand-stitched the velvet to the back of it, and then glued a piece of black cardstock behind that, making a sandwich.  I left an opening at the top of my “sandwhich” so that I could stuff some batting behind the fabric to make it pop out a bit.  It was very easy!
