Whatever is cool...

Over on the Fiskars website, Smitha Katti is designing a quilt block a month.  I am NOT a quilter (nor do I portray one on TV), but I decided to adapt and am going to make a scrapbook page each month based on her design.  Here is the first one...

Chevrons are so "IN" right now and I've never tried to make them before.   I drew a center line down my paper and lined up different width strips to make the chevrons. I let the strips all hang off the side of the paper as I worked from the center, and then trimmed them off when the pattern was done. I needed a cohesive group of photos that wouldn't compete with the chevron pattern and decided to use these photos of my son.  A dedicated scrapper, I scrap any season, anytime.  Thus, on this day after Valentines Day, you get FALL.

Want to join me in this monthly undertaking?  Check out Smitha's project here...http://www2.fiskars.com/Activities/Crafting/Project-Gallery/Sewing-and-Quilting/Quilt-Block-of-the-Month-No1
