Our name is SewWithSparkles because we like sparkles and glitter, but another thing we really like is embellishments to add some "drama" to our quilts/wall hangings. The possibilities are "limitless"!!! It's amazing how just a few embellishments can really bring a quilt or wall hanging to life!!!
On our "Llama Love You" quilt PATTERN we added eyes, eye lashes, necklaces, bows, flowers, ribbons/rick-rack, buttons, etc and used faux fur fabric for the bodies!!!
All of these items can be bought at a fabric or craft store or on-line. You will want to add these embellishments to your top right before it's quilted!!! The ribbon and rick-rack can be sewed on by machine and the rest of the embellishments can be sewn on my hand. The faux fur is an applique process which uses Pellon 805 Wonder Under to fuse it to the background fabric. The "Llama Love You" quilt is really easy to make and such fun and personal!!!
On our "Limitless" quilt we added metallic sparkle thread, glow in the dark thread, embroidered words and fun binding!!!
On our FredBird wall hanging we added sew on google eyes, baseball buttons, shoe laces and iron-on decals.
Let's see yours:
That is just too cute!! What a great one!
