Friends On Friday...

I haven't done a Friends on Friday post in a while...definitely need to do more. On Fridays, I love to show pictures, projects or events from blogging friends. Today, I have 2 wonderful ladies to share.

The first is my friend Gra...Hi, Gra! Her name is Graciela or Grace and her wonderful blog is Chez Gra. She lives on the coast of Argentina. You have to go visit her blog. There are so many wonderful pictures, quilts and projects, like the one pictured below ( she allowed me to use her pictures). When you visit her blog, just click the translate button on the top right side bar...it works great.

This project is made from old photo albums that she no longer used. Don't we all do this...keep something, knowing we'll do "something" with it "some day". Well, this project is the reason I don't throw anything away.

First, she carefully pulled apart the pages of the album and cut in between each picture pocket so as to not cut through the sealed edges on both sides.

She then used recycled card board and wrapped her fabric samples around it.



Now she has this fabulous way of carrying the samples to the quilt shop to match to other fabrics. Plus you can showcase different fabric to see which ones will look best together for a quilt. The clear plastic holders are great to keep fabrics clean in your purse too.

This is such a wonderful idea and recycling too. Thanks so much Gra for letting me show your idea to everyone. I know we are in the age of digital cameras and we're keeping pictures on disks now, so we all must have these albums tucked away some where. Let's all go and dig them out and start cutting them up!

My second Friend On Friday is Carol Riggs. Carol emailed this week and asked if she could use a couple of my tutorials for demonstrations in her NEW quilt shop. Well, of course I said yes. I always love sharing! and a NEW QUILT SHOP...Woo Hoo!!!

I am so excited for Carol and her sister, I want to share their new quilt shop with you. I know this only might apply to people in a certain area in the country, but if you are ever traveling or vacationing in Kansas, please stop by.
