I recently helped a friend with some decorations for her son’s rehearsal dinner. The event was held outdoors and she made simple centerpieces to go along with the rustic theme. To complete the décor, we added monograms and favorite quotes to 6” square ceramic tiles using permanent adhesive vinyl (Oracal 651). The tiles were then…
I am blessed with a wonderful mother! She’s always giving of herself and asking very little in return. So when she mentioned that what she’d really like for Mother’s Day was for me to help her clean up and organize her sewing room, I jumped at the chance. I love organization almost as much as…
When my oldest son was in preschool I remember his teacher commenting that May is always a busy month. Being young, naïve, and the mother of only one child (whose birthday is in December), I thought to myself “what is she talking about?” Fast-forward almost 25 years and I’m definitely older, hopefully wiser, have two…
As I planned our booth for the quilt show, I thought it would be nice to have name tags for each of us to wear when we were working. Sure, I could’ve purchased the adhesive ones or printed out something pretty to slide in a little plastic sleeve, but if a project can be done…
We had a great time at the Piney Woods Quilt Festival this past weekend, meeting lots of new people and introducing them to the wonders of Terial Magic while sharing the Silhouette love! We had samples on hand in our booth of the many different ways the Silhouette machines can be used but the highlight…
Around my house lately, too much time has been spent on getting our income tax returns ready to file and not nearly enough time on fun things like playing with my Silhouette. I definitely plan to remedy that situation within the next few days – just as soon as I hit the “Submit” button on…
My first vendor event is coming up and I couldn’t be more excited! The Piney Woods Quilt Festival is scheduled for April 21 & 22, 2017 at the Carthage Civic Center. I’ll be there with all my Silhouette machines and goodies demonstrating how to cut fabric on an electronic cutter using Terial Magic as a…
In my opinion, one of the most underutilized features of the Silhouette is the ability to cut fabric. Whether you’re making a quilt, creating an appliqué, or working on a 3-D project, your Cameo/Portrait can not only speed up the process but also provide a degree of accuracy that can’t be achieved when cutting materials…
Hardly a day goes by that I don’t see someone post in one of the Silhouette Facebook groups asking “Why is my design not cutting correctly?” or “Why is my mat sliding all over the place?” You can practically hear the panic in their voice! Quickly they assume that there is something dreadfully wrong with…
Last Saturday I taught my first community enrichment class at Panola College on the “Basics of Digital Cutting”. Each student learned how to set up an account in the Silhouette Design Store, purchase and download designs, and easily create their own designs from a “dingbat” font. We practiced using several different features of the Silhouette…
