Carole (from New Zealand) made the QB5ers a "snippet roll" for Christmas. It's suspended from what I call a thread spool and some people in other lands call a cotton reel. (a cotton reel sounds to this Texas girl like a cross between the Cotton-Eyed Joe and Virginia Reel.... those are dances) ...but I digress.... Isn't it pretty? It has fabric, lace, paper, etc.... all those things we love are stitched together. I can leave it as is and suspend it somewhere... or roll it up... but I may use it as a closure on a future Remains of the Day book!!! What do you think? ...and my thanks to Margaret (in Switzerland) for the use of her photo (top one). I've been waiting for it. *****Carole has a tutorial for snippet rolls on her blog right now!

Hello lovelies! We recently had a discussion in our Facebook group, Simply Shabbilicious, about snippet rolls; specifically, what they are and how to make them. So today I’m sharing just how easy it is to make my version of a beautiful shabby snippet roll. Of course, these pretty snippet rolls can be made in many different ways and in varying sizes…. but this is the type that I use most often. First, lets discuss what a snippet roll is and how to use it…. If you are not a paper crafter or journal maker, you may never have
Hi Everyone! Glad to be back at blogging this week and sharing my Memory Spool. This kind of no fail crafting makes me happy (as well as relaxed) because there is no wrong way to make one...so even if you can only sew a straight line, you've got this. The Memory Spool project started with a small spool found in a local junk shop. It stands about 6" tall, end to end. The spool sat around in my craft room for quite a few months before I figured out what I wanted to make (that kind of thing happens all the time around here). I created 2 fabric pieces 4 1/2 x 19" to fit the spool. I say "created" because I sewed random scraps of fabric from the Wildflower line together until I had two pieces the correct size. Some are sewed together with the seams showing and some were sewed as patches right over the top. The only rule was that it had to end up the right size! I purposely used the Aviary fabric on the outside portion that would show when closed because of the red writing that says, "my dearest". Once I had the two pieces ready, I layered them with Warm and Natural batting and then top-stitched at the top and bottom. The antique lace from an old pillowcase was sewn along the bottom edge. I still needed a way to secure the roll... so I decided on a grommet I could thread a long strip of fabric through. I picked up the grommets at Joann Fabrics (super easy to put in with a small hammer). For the inside, I just gathered a few favorite things... The clover from the Souvenir Adornments pack (paint and alcohol ink added), the 'P' is fabric tape from the Paris flea market, mother of pearl buttons (gotta have good buttons)! I used a Photobooth image and just sewed right through the paper. The word memory is cut from the Eclectic Elements fabric Dictionary and the heart is of course a idea-ology Heart Charm. Next I stitched a little pocket to journal memories (with an added Type Charm). I made the book using an old flashcard. In the last section I added part of a doily, dyed Crinkle Ribbon and various pearls cut from old necklaces. You can also see how I secured the fabric roll to the spool with more Crinkle Ribbon. The word "recollection" comes from the Dictionary fabric and I just glued it in place. As I said before - I love this project because it's an open door to explore. No worries about seams or strings...and if you forgot to add something, just top-stitch it on! Wish paper was that forgiving! Hope you will try something like the Memory Spool! Maybe even a fabric book to add your memorabilia to. I am quite sure Pinterest has much on the fabric book subject for ideas to get started! For those of you who do not have a local store to purchase fabric or to just check it out...here's a link to the Aviary fabric. I also have to give a shout out to Whim So Doodle in St. Petersburg, FL. They are the only scrapbook store that I know of with an in-house fabric store next door. They carry all the Eclectic Elements Fabric and they ship! now carry on, paula InLinkz.com
This simple slow stitch kit is a fun collection for beginners or a terrific kit for junk journal tags! Kit includes 6 vintage quilt snippets (reversible) and 8 vintage fabric scraps (each about 2x3"), 14 bits of assorted lace or trim, 10 buttons, and 15" of rick rack. THERE ARE NO RULES SO THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS. Just have fun and explore. Kit contents will vary based on what materials I've been working with and what I have on hand, but will be every bit as charming as those shown. (Background fabric shown is not included.) Create little mini tags by arranging the bits and pieces as you like and stitch using whatever thread you have on hand using basic embroidery stitches. So cute in a simple frame! Or combine them into a larger collection on a piece of backing fabric. (Almost anything will do...an old pillowcase, a piece of muslin, or even an old shirt or skirt, but cotton is best). All the little kit bits are collected in an organza bag and the entire collection is bundled together with a length of pretty hand-torn fabric ribbon. Ships in a poly bubble mailer to keep everything safe and dry. This is just a really fun kit. Hope you enjoy it!! Please let me know if you have questions. Happy Stitching! Toni P.S. All of my kits are created and stored in my smoke-free, pet-free studio.
