This year I thought I'd use my sewing machine more often. The guilt pangs are acute, especially since I almost threw a tantrum at the store some time last year and got my way. Husby darling is so polite that he sometimes only just casually mentions the almost unused, near new Brother, tucked away in a dark corner of the room. The Opus Gluei Poobahs have presented their latest challenge - Soup to Nuts. The deal is that we either finish off a long overdue project or start a new (maybe yearlong) project. So my take on it is to start making better use of my sewing machine. I hope it makes sense and qualifies for the challenge!
I love patchwork quilts. They have an endearing country style charm that I can't resist. I'd love to make one myself, but the thought is overwhelming since I'm still very new to the world of sewing. So I thought I'd bring in a bit of that element into my card. Here's how it turned out -
And now that the sewing machine is out, I might try some easy sewing projects :)

This card is gorgeous. I love the stitching. You have inspired me to pull out my machine. Love the cupcake and the button. That stamp is adorable. I think the rounded corners are perfect to soften up what would otherwise be a very angular card. Thank you so much for playing with us at Opus Gluei. You are very creative and OF COURSE this is a great take on the Soup to Nuts theme.
this is so pretty Divya! Yes u should use ur sewing machine more often........I land up using mine on almost every project!!

This is such a cute card!!! I've tried using my sewing machine with a couple of cards, and I love the final effect. You've inspired me to "sew" more cards:)
