UFO night at FabMO

Something I've been trying to organize for a long long time, a UFO night for crafters. With the meet-up sites getting more $$$ and complicated to use it was looking pretty grim. 
FabMo recently moved to a new and much large space. The great room is a perfect place for people to gather a work on their own stuff while still being able to chat with other like minded people. Hope you can make it to our first ever UFO night!

Paper Quilling art 2

This is my second attempt at paper quilling. For being something so small it did take a lot more time than I thought. There's a lot of gluing and use of pins to hold everything in place while the glue dries. 
I've had the quilling tools for years (like 20+ years) and never really made anything with them. Finally decided (after watching ton of youtube videos) to sit down and do a few projects. 

Party Favors - mini tootsie roll pops.

Some times you see something and just think how cute it would be to change it up into party favors.
FabMo is hosting it's annual BBQ for the volunteers in a few weeks. I made thank you cards for all the volunteers and decided to add a little party favor too. 

Quilling 101

Like many crafters, I have supplies for projects I "think" I may try some day. I've had the paper quilling tools for many, many years (maybe 20+ years!) I even have the big AccuCut die cut to make the quilling sizing board. Don't even know why I got that!
Anyways the plan is to do a workshop at FabMo next month to teach basic quilling. The daisy was my first attempt to try and finish something to put on a card. Now I just have to figure out how to teach a class so everyone walks away with a finished card.  :)  

FabMo Workshop July 15, 2018

My next FabMo workshop is Sunday July 15, 2018. 
The theme started out to be "quilting" but as I started making the samples, it looks more like mosaics since I didn't want to add any embellishments. 
It's a great way to use up scraps!
