Welcome!

Hello! If you made your way over here from Papertrey Ink, thank you for stopping by. I am so excited to be working with this company, and with the Quick Stitch kits.

The first kit is called "Sewing Staples" and it will be released on March 1. It includes the dies for all of the projects you see above, and lots of fun extras as well! I will have more projects that I made with this kit to show you here on February 28.

I've been having so much fun with Papertrey Ink's beautiful felt and the dies in this kit. I really love these kits - you get a great framework to follow, but you can also put your own personal stamp on what you're making. I can't wait to use these items I made in my own crafting, and to make sets to give as gifts!

I chose the colors in this set to match a Vera Bradley bag that I use to store and carry my knitting supplies. I'm also working on some other projects that use these dies in different ways - I love that they are so versatile and combine so well with other Papertrey dies.

Since you're here, I feel like I should tell you a little about me. In no particular order:

I'm a mom.

I'm a librarian.

Ok, not a very librarian-y picture to be sure. But, we are getting a new library where I work and we're really excited.

And I used to be a scrapbooker.

I can't believe I've left scrapbooking behind - I loved it so much. But, I got a full-time job and went back to school and I just didn't have time. Especially as my girls got older and less cooperative. :) That's one reason why I'm so excited to be involved with Papertrey Ink and the Quick Stitch kits. Doing the projects in these kits are a perfect way for me to be creative in the limited amount of time I have.
