teaching with a big shot
For the past couple of Sundays I've been at a knitting and patchwork shop just outside of Leeds called The Skep teaching Bonnie Hunter's scrappy trips around the world blocks.
This pattern is perfect for using up random fat quarters or strips of fabric that you have in your stash that you don't like too much (it's also perfect for those favourite fabrics too).I've made quite a few of these quilts now, they're fast, they're fun and they use up a lot of fabric.
When you use the 2.5" strip die to cut your strips it's also really REALLY fast to get all of your fabric prepared. I've got to admit I get a bit carried away when I'm cutting strips and end up cutting far too many every time!
We had a whole basket of strips to play with, some were lovely, some were quite interesting (to put it politely!)

Doilies, flowers, bits and pieces...
Hi, i hope you had a great, creative week!
I'm back with some more inspiration for you... and I hope you will like it :)
Today I'm sharing with you another layout - effect of my work in the classroom in France, in Massy near Paris.
During "Space, Media, Dimension" class we use a lot of paper scraps, plain paper cut-outs (mostly from Thinlits, Sizzlits and Sizzlits Decorative Stirps) and as lot of 3D Foam (Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L). All that helps the students to create a dimensional, cleanproject like this:
Here you can see some more details: Sizzix cut-outs ripped into pieces and layered together with tons of little paper bits...
This kind of project is effect for those of you who have far too much of paper scraps and cut outs which you want to get rid of. Layering gives so many possibilities!
For this project I used Sizzix products listed below:
- 658502 - Sizzix Sizzlits Die - Flower, Daisy
- 657996 - Sizzix Sizzlits Die - Card, Scallop Circle Insert
- 658001 - Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die - Interlocking Circles
Other supplies:
Papers - 7 Dots Studio - Dreamer Collection, Domestic Goddess Collection
Adhesives: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
Embellishments, stencils and stamps - Prima Marketing
Color - Luminarte Primary Elements
Ink - Ranger - Archivals - Jet black
Sending warmest hugs - I hope to see you back soon here on the blog!

Flavor: Lavender Strawberry Sachet
Wherever you find to use this strawberry lavender sachets know that they are natural the scent that can last for months. When the sachet is lightly crushed it will give more of its scent and when this is diminished the scent can be replenished with a drop of lavender essential oil.
One strawberry is cute...
But a dozen strawberries is berry cute!!!
To make the bag of favor I used a pretty doily Thinlits die, Wow..I love this!
Items used:
Sizzix Big Shot Machine (657900)
Sizzix Bigz Die - Heart, Stem & Leaves (657691)
Sizzix Bigz Die - Tiny Tabs & Tags (657188)
Sizzix Movers & Shapers Magnetic Die Set 2PK - Mini Tattered Florals Set (657488)
Sizzix Movers & Shapers Die – Ornamental (656641)
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Doilies, Lovely (658605)
scrap of cardstock: green, white, kraft
scrap of red fabric or felt
dried lavender
button
twine
mini wax paper bag
mini clothespin
sewing machine, yarn
How to make:
For the strawberry
1- Cut out two hearts from the red fabric.
2- Layer and sew around the edge of the heart, leaving a small gap. I found it easier to sew the curved parts in this step and leaving a straight side open for filling the hearts.
3- Using a paper cone or teaspoon, fill the heart with dried lavender as desired. My method is to fill it about a third with lavender, and then put is some pillow stuffing as well to make it plumper.
4- Stuff the heart about half way, then add a few of the dried bits of lavender.
5- Once you have sewn the heart completely shut, you can thread your needle again with some twine. At the top center of the heart, sew a loop so that you can hang the sachet.
6- Cut out the flower from the green cardstock. Make the hole in the center and fold in half. Thread the flower in the twine of strawberry. Glue and apply a button.
For the flavor package
1- Use Thinlits Die Doilies, Lovely (658605) to cut out a doily from white cardstock.
2- Apply the doily, folded in half, on the top edge of wax paper bag.
3- Insert the twine of strawberry into a hole of doily.
4- Cut out a mini tag for write name.
5- Apply the tag with a little clothespin.
You’re done! You have a lavender filled strawberry sachet favor. They smell delicious and are sure to wow your guests!
I wish you all a great and inspiring weekend!
************************************** Per le amiche italiane! :)
Queste fragole si possono godere tutto l'anno: ogni fragola è imbottita di lavanda profumata... sono quindi perfette come bomboniere, per questa stagione ricca di matrimoni e altri eventi festosi.

Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Doilies, Lovely (658605)
ritagli di cartoncino: verde, bianco, kraft
avanzi di tessuto fantasia rosso o feltro
lavanda secca
bottone
cordoncino
mini sacchetto di carta oleata
mini molletta
macchina da cucire, filo
Procedimento:
2 – Sovrapporre i due cuori e cucire a zigzag lungo il bordo esterno, lasciando un piccolo spazio. Ho trovato più facile cucire le parti curve lasciando un tratto di lato rettilineo aperto per riempire i cuori.
3 - Utilizzare un cono di carta o un cucchiaino per riempire il cuore di lavanda secca. Il mio metodo è quello di riempire circa un terzo con lavanda e poi mettere un po' d'imbottitura per renderlo più cicciotto.
4 - Imbottire il cuore a metà, quindi aggiungere la lavanda.
5 - Una volta cucita l'apertura del cuore, è possibile infilare di nuovo l'ago con un po' di spago in alto, al centro del cuore per poterlo appendere.
6 - Tagliare un fiore con molti petali dal cartoncino verde. Fare un buco al centro e piegare a metà. Infilare il fiore nello spago del cuore, per creare la fragola. Non avevo feltro verde, così ho usato la carta, ma decidete voi cosa è meglio. Incollare il fiore verde e applicare un bottone.
2 - Posizionare il centrino, piegato a metà, sul bordo superiore del sacchetto di carta oleata.
3 - Inserire il cordoncino della fragola in un buco del centrino.
4 - Tagliare una mini etichetta per scrivere il nome.
5 - Fermare la tag con una mollettina.
Voilà! Così avrete una fragola riempita di lavanda, da usare come bomboniera o pensierino per un'amica.
Auguro a tutti voi un buon fine settimana!
