i-create - Angel in your pocket Buttons

Been quite busy I am a bit late in blogging and showing what I did for the week after working on the 21-pocket quilt for my niece. It is now week 10 of my creative life and looks like I still am filled with ideas to make. Let me see if I can sustain my brain to keep on coming up with something to make every week especially that this month is craft month. For this week I decided to make buttons for the children of Roma Qld. A lady member of the facebook group The Sewing Library posted a message on the group's page about children of Roma who with their family lost their homes and everything in them in a flood that inundated Queensland several months ago and she thought it would be a great idea to get some members of the group to make some handmade things for the kids. 

Am not so sure how the kids would react to what I was going to make but the moment I saw the message posted I was determined to make buttons and I was going to adhere ribbons to the buttons so they can wear it if they want to. I started to find the right image to use for the buttons and I came up with the image of an angel inside a pocket and a message which read 'an angel in your pocket they say...will keep your troubles far away...'. I used a 57mm size button which I have plenty in stock.

Here is the button I created with a ribbon and to finish off the handmade item I placed them in organza bags which I bought from a 2-dollar shop near where I live. 

I hope the children of Roma will like what I made for them.

If you want buttons to be made with your own designs, please click here for enquiries. Buttons can be made in different sizes (25mm, 32mm, 57mm and 77mm) and can be made into the regular buttons, magnetic buttons, keychains or mirror buttons. Mirror buttons only come in 57mm size. 

i-create Week 9 - Completed Quilt

I finally completed my 21 pocket quilted wallhanging with the 21 messages inside the pockets from family and friends. I had to finish it as it had to be given to the celebrant last night. I typed each message on a white cardstock. Each message has to fit in a slightly smaller size than the pocket (6cms x 8cms) then cut each of them to create tags and finished the tags with ribbons. On each pocket I randomly distributed the numbers 1 to 21.

Here is the final 21 pocket quilted wallhanging.
