Using the Cricut Expression by Provo Craft and Novelty, Inc. for quilting applique is a fun concept. It will expand your options for applique design, especially if you are not artistic in the drawing realm! This blog is dedicated, so far, to quilting and sewing with the Cricut. When I showed the first quilt I made with the Cricut to a friend, (Countdown til Christmas Advent), she said, "That's so cute!" Thus the name of this business. Hope you enjoy!!

Hanging Charms for Monogram Charm Pillows
It's easy to make your own hanging charms! Purchase pre-made charm packets (I got these at Walmart for $3.00) You will also need one jump ring, but they come in packets and are inexpensive. A lobster claw is needed to fasten the assembled charm to the ribbon on the pillow (instructions for ribbon, etc. are included in the pattern)
To assemble the hanging charm, open one jump ring and slide the charm onto it. Next, slip the small circle from the lobster claw onto the jump ring also. Close the jump ring with pliers if necessary. There you go! It's easy. Attach assembled charm with the lobster claw.

Monogram Charm Pillows
Suggested Retail Price: $10.00
This classy pillow pattern was originally created to go on my bedroom chair. I have had so many requests for this, that I decided to make it into a pattern, along with a second version.
This pillow is made from tan linen and black cotton, but any cotton fabric will do. Braids and trims can vary also.
The Cricut cartridge Winter Woodland by Provo Craft and Novelty, Inc. was used for the monogram, with a twist added: hanging charms. How fun is that?! The patterns for all letters are included for those who don't want to use a Cricut. I
Stay tuned...I will post step by step instructions on how to make charms to hang on this pillow soon.
