I have more quotes on the way, but if you have a favorite, let me know & I just may add it to the list.
Two more days to enter this week's giveaway!
A few years before I started my etsy shop, I sold my custom stationery at boutique paper stores around the country, and had a few greeting cards in the mix too. I used to package them up in clear bags tied with pretty ribbon -- a couple of birthday cards, a wedding card, one for graduation, and sympathy and get well, maybe a new baby card. My sister-in-law Carol liked them so much that she still orders a few packages every year.
Time for an update! I've written some of my favorite quotes, printed them in color and mounted them in layers on beautiful papers. (And the clear bags are now made of recycled plastic.) I'll have the card sets available tomorrow during my open studio hours and available on etsy by the end of the week. Happy Monday!
The first thing I've made exclusively for my fall trunk show. Imagine wrapping yourself in this quote by Longfellow:
Once I've stitched the lining on, I'll post a photo of the scarf in action. But even without finishing it, I can tell you that this is one project it'll be hard to part with come October. Love it!
A stitiching project I started while my shop was closed: a reverse applique scarf with one of my favorite winter quotes by Longfellow. First I "sketched" the words lightly on the knit.
Then I went over the letters to make them more solid.
The fun part is stitching it up. I couldn't possibly stay riveted to Downton if my hands weren't busy. And now that the season's over, the scarf is nearly done. Finished photos in a week or two!
Lettergirl will be closed February 4-18 for winter cleaning. I'm excited to bring you new designs, new photos, and a surprise or two!
We have a lovely habit in our family of making gifts for each other at Christmas. With the move to high school, I'd been wanting to make a messenger bag for Juliet. I handlettered some of her favorite quotes, added doodles, and had the fabric printed at Spoonflower. I was a little nervous about sewing it up (it was pretty much a one-shot deal), but it flew together in one afternoon (and, yes, that one afternoon was December 23rd).
I tucked some fabric markers in one of the inside pockets, and she got right to it on the heart.
On my list for February: figure out how to get these kits in the shop!
Meanwhile, giveaway entries will close tonight. I am loving your comments!
