can you take a picture of the board for us new people kind of hard to imagine what it looks like, thanks
The candies won't shift around because they sort of stick together. Press the card flat with your hand and hold it closed when you load it into the envelope. It's really easier than it sounds. |
Here are two beautiful quilts that can be done with our 'candy' squares:

Sorry sewbizgirl, guess I should have explained better I was talking about the board that NoraB was talking about for the ironing board, dont take me wrong I appreciate the idea about the cereal box too, will put it in my memory for when I cant get cards.

TG, sure, sure, it's MY fault! LOL! Glad to hear you'll be around for the year. I've sure enjoyed having you in the last couple of booms. Barb, TG has been utterly reliable so I'm glad she'll be joining us!

Well I threw my name in the pile - hope there is still room. Janice McC - its all your fault
Next week we will be back at a campground that has an awesome sewing room with large cutting areas and I will bring my stash and do some cutting. I like that I will be able to have the "ready"! |
Nice quilts in those pics, thanks for sharing them. Have to go to town tomorrow so will be looking for Birthday cards. Snowed here today but it's all melted already, still cold but livable...:)

Well I made my cards on my computer. I just found a birthday clip art and cut/pasted it on my document. I printed the front then the inside into an 8.5"X11" sheet of card stock and I bought a box envelopes these cards would fit in. Maybe I can take a pic tomorriw. I do need to create a new card... I stack my "candy" in six stacks of eight with two or more left on the top. And I do wrap them in Saran wrap to keep them together. Not Press'N Seal...it sticks toooo much to the fabrics IMO. But my card is always thin enough that it sends easily with a .70 cent stamp. Once I wasn't so careful packaging them and the po wanted $3-5. I said NO WAY. I took them home and re packaged them. :D

Sheri's 'candies' always look amazing when you get them! The six stacks of 8 is a great idea too, for keeping those cards thin.

I would love to join in.
