All the letters of the alphabet are included in this pattern at 4" high, so you have endless possibilities for wording on your pillow front. To promote any occasion or fabric line try making up samples using an appropriate word: HO HO HO, BOO, LOVE,
HOME and more. You are limited only by your imagination! Pictured below is a sample of the 14x21 rectangular pillow (included in the pattern) featuring a new Christmas fabric for this year.
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!!
If you are interested in ordering, contact me at my email and I will respond. Gayle Lambert lambert1253@msn.com. Thank you!

This cute mummy will follow children anywhere. The trick or treat bag is a snap to make!. It is fully lined and pattern contains a full-size mummy for the front.

Should you decide you want to make more than one...(a friend of mine is making 16!)you can get more goblin designs from my pattern Goblin Greetings. This pattern included 9 goblins including the mummy. They are adorable and are fun to embellish with buttons and ribbons.

Life Needs Frosting--New Release!!
Suggested Retail Price: $14.00 Size 64x77
I saw this quote on the top of a Cinnabon box and had to make a quilt around it. All applique patterns come in full size and can be used as traditional applique and/or cut with a Cricut Expression. All patterns include step by step instructions on how to use this machine for time-saving techniques, but keep in mind that good-old traditional applique can be used as well...as a matter fact, the quilt pictured was done with hand applique. This quilt can make good use of scraps as the Cutting Requirements for Applique Blocks section tells you exactly how big each scrap needs to be before cutting! No specific fabric line is used here, it's a great one to use up those colorful scraps!
