Woodland Santa Pillow Pattern By Kaaren Johnston of The Painted Quilt

Posted by Unknown Posted on 1:08 AM with No comments

I have several different Santa collections that I bring out at the holiday season. There's my tall Santa's collection, my mini Santa's collection, my Santa dolls. What I don't have is a collection of Santa pillows. Given that Kaaren Johnston has a wonderful pattern on her The Painted Quilt blog showing you how to make a woodland Santa pillow I may just have to start that collection of Santa pillows. How about you?.

First Friday Freebie #23 - Woodland Santa

Here's what Kaaren had to say about her pattern: Yesterday we flipped the calendar over to December and today is the First Friday of the month…already! If this is your first visit here, welcome! You’ve picked the right day to stop by because on the First Friday of every month, I release a new Freebie design for you to make and enjoy.

So in keeping with the season, allow me to present to you my Woodland Santa. This month, I decided to make a pillow out of mine.

Kaaren's Bio: I am an artist and have recently retired from actively designing, publishing and travel teaching in the decorative painting industry. A short while later, in December of 2010, we moved from Eastern Ontario to the beautiful Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. Quilting, stitching, applique and most recently rug hooking have become my new passions. Oh, and did I mention that I love to make and collect pincushions and needlecases! Join me on the First Friday of every month when I release a new Freebie design for you to make and enjoy.

A Gnarly Tree Free Tutorial by Romona King of Northbrook Designs

Posted by Unknown Posted on 1:29 AM with No comments

I thought you might all like to know that Romona King of Northbrook Designs has created another wonderful FREE .pdf tutorial on her Northbrook Designs blog showing you how to create a gnarly tree.

A Gnarly Tree

If you'd like to download Romona's tutorial please click on the picture above or CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

Here's what Romona had to say about her tutorial:

This tutorial came about unexpectedly. In a last minute decision to make some Halloween ornaments I realized I didn't have any kind of a display to hang them on. I have a glittery tree and I have a dress form prop, but not very Halloween oriented at all. So a tree was created out of necessity. The supply list is short and the steps are so easy, they just require you to not take this or any of the tutorials I write, very seriously. Play with the ideas and just let your own creativity show through, all I ask is that you let anyone who asks, know where they can find this tutorial so that at the very least you give me credit for implanting some ideas. So let’s get started.

Please respect Romona's Terms of Use - Feel free to share this tutorial, but please remember to give me credit for the information contained here.

Posted by Unknown Posted on 1:07 AM with No comments

I just LOVE artists and painters as I'm so envious of their enormous talent. I wish I could paint like they do, but I wasn't blessed with such talent.

However, I can try my hand at painting some of the wonderful creations by some of the very gifted artists and painters on the web. One such artist is Renee Mullins of Plum Purdy Designs and she has created some wonderful free painting e-patterns on her Plum Purdy Designs website.

Here's her free spring e-patterns. Enjoy!

Home Tweet Home

I found this little scalloped box at “Michael’s”, ALTHOUGH, you can paint this on a square box or other surface.

Suggestions… Photo albums, enlarge for a welcome sign, tote bags… be creative!

Spring is in My Heart

This design can be used in so many different ways.
*Drill a small hole in the center and use as a tag for a gift basket or clasp onto a tote or purse.
*Attach a magnet to the back.
*Glue a long thin stake to the back and use as a plant poke.
*Drill a tiny hole on each side of the heart and attach to a basket with wire.
I hope you will enjoy my “Springtime” design! Happy Painting!
