So what do you do when
you can't sleep at night?
Well, some people might drink some
warm milk.
Not me, I go ahead and get up
and quilt.
That was me last night.
I whipped up this beauty in
just a couple of hours.
Believe it or not is an applique.
Like a pretty fabric doily.
Simple and elegant
So, how did I do it?
I played with my new Cricut Explore machine.
It cuts FABRIC!!!
I have all these little
fabric ideas dancing through my
head.
I had a old machine that I have
used years for paper,
but I really couldn't resist this.
It did a pretty good job
on the two little doilies that
I placed on the corner.
I know that there is no
way that I could have cut that with
scissors.
OHHHHHH, the possibilities.

So, have any of you tried this machine?
Do you have any questions on how it works?
I can't wait to play with it some more.
Pin It Now!
I've been thinking about a die machine that cuts fabric. I was surprised to see you post because I thoght Cricut was only for paper. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me, I meant I have tried using fabric in my Cricut.
ReplyDeleteWell I still can't get this comment right.... I have tried using fabric in my Circuit. How on earth did you get it to cut fabric? I have tried starch, fusable web, etc and I still can't get it to work
ReplyDeleteAwesome pillow! I still don't quite understand with the Scherrenschnitte technique! You would have to show it to me...:-) We would love to have you join our pilloe swap for seasons! How about it? Just look us up. Karen
ReplyDeleteLOL, I was playing with mine last night too and thought about trying doilies on fabric but thought it really just wouldn't work. I stand corrected. I want to add doilies to a solid color quilt. I may try them out on a pillow first. Yours came out so nice!!! I just got my Cricut Explore for Christmas and haven't had a lot of time to try everything...... Tried cutting on vinyl and it worked great. Thanks for posting this, I will have to give it a whirl tonight!
