Sorry for the absence I've been sew busy quilting a project for an upcoming birthday and until it's done I'm on crunch time. I would safely say that I am ¾ of the way through the quilting process. I'm very excited to share this project but will have to wait until it has been received by the recipient before sharing.
I did however have to mark my rows so I sewed them together in the right order, I had directional fabrics I was contending with. I think that there has been many times where I needed to mark a row or a block and I used post it notes and they never stuck to my fabric or even if you pin them on they just get ruined and your always throwing them away. So I decided to make my own sturdy marking cards.
I found a font I liked and typed out my numbers with lots of spacing and then ran some pretty colored card-stock through my printer.
I used a decorative paper punch to punch out my numbers.
As you can see my spacing wasn't so perfect for my first two rows but I decided not to waste materials and kept it as is.
Next I ran my punched numbers through my laminator. Best investment ever.
Then I cut out my numbers and punched some little slot holes for my pin to go through.
Thanks for reading♥
