Scarf Camera Strap & Boat Ride! (Tut. Link)

Scarf Camera Strap Tutorial {Camera Accessories}





 












Find a comfy scarf
(Mine is from my closet)




Gather a piece of leather and two clasp hooks.
(Mine is from a old pocket book and clasps are from Michael's)








When done, you will have a very
comfy camera strap!
(one strap is in China as we speak)
 
 
 Here is the tutorial for the
Scarf Camera Strap

 Tip-use either a leather or jeans needle.
To avoid breaking the needle, sew slowly.

Kaleidoscope Reunion!



Denise and Eleanor's Beautiful Kaleidoscopes.
 



 
A few years ago our guild had a retreat
 and this was the project.
As we all know, some projects just lay hidden
 and tucked away for the perfect time to complete.
  
And this was their day to complete theirs.
 
Now I am looking forward to seeing them quilted.
Just Saying!
 

Talk about procrastinating.
This was so many weeks ago we were wearing vests and sweaters!
Is there any leaves on those trees?

Elizabeth's Forest


All of the quilts posted Elizabeth made to cover
 Smart Boards used in her school for teaching.
They are large! 
The reflection was sewn perfectly!



What a Hoot!



Meandered around the words.



 
Added tree and leaf lines.



 
Outlined the applique.



Added little howling swirls.



Elizabeth attached the cutest fluffy tail!



 
Elizabeth was clever as a Fox with the applique.




She added just the right detail of spots.



What a cute Raccoon!







 


Elizabeth made several quilts for the Bethlehem Christian School in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
I think 12 in all!



A little snip-it from the email Elizabeth sent me:
Briefly, the "story" about the quilt is that I was frustrated with a quilt I was working on. It had sheep on it as I was trying to use the 23 Psalm as the verse. Finally, I gave up and purchased the pattern (my first, I always design my own). I didn't notice till I got home that the company's name was EWE-nique. Oh, God is sometimes so funny! I modified the design to fit what I was doing and added the bible verse. My dearest friend gave me the bible verse, & I just loved it. I went on the company's website to get the email address so I could send them a photo (also, very unusual for me to do). Well, I almost fell over.... right on their home page... was the same bible verse!--Elizabeth


PS

Just because we all love looking at quilts, here are some others that I made for Bethlehem Christian School.

The original pattern is from Ewe-Nique Creations Elizabeth
then altered the pattern to work for her situation.


Below are some photos of the other quilts
 Elizabeth made for the school.







Elizabeth is one gifted quilter!
