I made this Christmas ornament for my hubby as a gift. He loves Kentucky basketball. I try to get him an ornament each year that has some meaning behind it. I’m so glad that he liked it.

Handmade Christmas Ornaments
Holiday Wreaths
My friend Tonda and I recently made a bunch of holiday wreaths. The are quite big about 25 inches square. We are selling them to family and friends. 
Halloween Door Hanger
I made this door hanger for a swap on Swap-Bot. My partner loves cats. I made the cat and moon out of felt. The orange felt had glitter on it. I hope she likes it.
3 blogs
Ask me why I have three blogs? It is crazy trying to keep up with one. I try to keep this blog just for sewing and quilting. I have Fabric Mom’s blog which is the first one I started where I post about other crafts I make. And then there is Posty Pals, which is for fabric postcards. Posty Pals originally started as a group of 6 or 7 women who all swapped with each other. We don’t get to swap like we used to. However I still keep the blog going for people interested in making fabric postcards and for people to get ideas from.
I recently posted some new posted some new pictures if you would like to go over there and visit.
Tagging
I joined the Zibbet community recently. If you are an artist of hand made items then you need to know about Zibbet. It is very similiar to Etsy.
I opened a shop there (Fabricmom) to advertise the quilts I make. Right now I have up a listing for a crib sized memory quilt.
The community is for the people who have shops to communicate and share information. I came across these two articles about tagging. They are both full of very good information.
Now of course it will probably be my luck that you have to be a member to read the articles.
How to Stencil with Freezer Paper
I was reading the site, How About Orange this morning. They have a tutorial on how to turn freezer paper into a stencil. Now I need to run out and buy some freezer paper. I want to make some stencils for quilt blocks.
Fabric Postcards
I recently posted on my fabric postcard blog about 4 fabric postcards that I made. If you would like to see them you can go to Posty Pals. I am trying to keep the posts I put on Fabric Mom about quilting. I also have quite a few links to sites on how to make a fabric postcard.
There is quite a lot of people joining us at swap bot on the Fabric Postcard group. Each month I host a fabric postcard swap. The group that I am a co-founder of on swap-bot also has a few fabric postcard swaps.
I really enjoy making fabric postcards. Making quilts can take anywhere from a week to years to finish. I can make a fabric postcard in about 15 to 30 minutes depending on the embellishments and quilting. Doesn’t everyone love a little instant gratification every now and then.
If you are new to fabric postcards and have any questions feel free to ask. If I can answer them I will. I love to share ideas and help fellow crafters. Happy sewing and God Bless.
