Graduation Photo Ornaments

With the Christmas season behind us and folks back to their normal lives and routines, a new chapter is about to turn for our 2012 graduates.  I too have a son who is graduating this year from high school, so I know how excited these kids are to finally get to wear their cap and gown and to receive their well deserved diplomas.  As much as they want to grow up and be on their own, we parents want to keep them safe under our wings just a little bit longer. 

Here's a gift idea your grad will love from Quilted Keepsake Ornaments!

COMMEMORATIVE GIFTS FOR GRADS:

Capture your high school or college grad in a lovely quilted keepsake ornament.  Each ornament is delicately handmade using lovely silk fabrics and ribbons.  The digital photo of your grad will be customized based on their school colors and then transferred onto high quality cotton fabric.   

On the other side of the ornament, it will contain your grads school name, their name, year graduated and a cap & Tassel graphic as outlined below.  Also, to add bit of charm, a silver plated 2012 charm will be fastened to the ornament that will dangle on the front side.  Picture does not show the charm.  

When your ornament is ready to ship, it will be wrapped in white tissue paper and placed inside a lovely white gift box.  A gift your graduate will truly love and cherish forever.

Renee's Fabrics

With so much fabric that I've accumulated through the years, I am now selling them in my fabric shop on Etsy.

These fabrics have been stored in nice clean containers in my sewing room and still look brand new right off the bolt.

If you're a crafty person who loves to sew, please visit my shop and take a look at what I have available.  I have Marcus Brothers, Robyn Pandolph and other textile companies and designers to choose from as well as a few upholstery fabrics you can use for pillows or chair covers.   Most of these fabrics are discontinued and are now hard to find, so if you find something you like you best get it now because you may not find it later.

Thanks for viewing and tell your crafty friends about my shop.

Pet Crate Cover

Just went shopping for fabric to make a pet crate cover for a friend.  Never made one before but I'm totally up for the challenge.  She's always loved the color purple, so I found this deep purple calico print at JoAnns Fabrics and as much as I hate to pre-wash my fabrics, it's definitely a must since it's 100% cotton,  and I'm sure she is going to be washing it a lot.  Would hate it to shrink and then not fit the cage. :(

So now that my fabric is washed, I'm ready to measure and cut the panels.  Her cage is 36Lx24Wx27H so it's a big one!  Plus I'm going to add fasteners with velcro so she can lift each side up if she wants.  I think it will come out really nice.  At least I hope it does!  Will post it when it's done.
