Story of my life, I have November ready and it turns out November has come and gone....bummer! But, December is only 5 days gone, so on the upside, I have 26 days to finish December and will still be on time (sort of LOL)!!
Anyhow, since I have always been a quilter, I decided to use the Amish quilt as a basis for my calendar. I started out by painting the entire spread black. Then I cut my triangles to make the pinwheel from bright coloured papers.
The feather pattern at the bottom of my 'quilt' was made with an actual quilting stencil that I used on one of my quilts. All the 'stitching' was done with a white Sharpie pen.
I stamped the month with a grungy stamp alphabet and white Stazon ink and accentuated again with the white Sharpie.
And just like in real quilting, all the points have to be sharp and matching.
Hope you like my 'quilt' spread! Have a great weekend. Hugs Frea
