It’s time to wrap up our April theme of “Let’s Get Sewing!” The Creative Team has explored all sorts of creative ways to use Eileen’s dies with sewing and stitching. Let’s see what inspiration the Team has for us this week:
Madeline Arendt used Eileen’s Notebook Die to make a credit card holder that is easy to tuck into a pocket or your purse. So clever! She used fabric, paper and fusible interfacing in its construction. More details and tutorial here!
Sue Eldred shows you how to make your own pocket sewing kit using the Needle Book Die and felt. This would make a great little Mother’s Day present! Find the instructions here.

News from Eileen…
Hi friends – thank you so much for your kind responses to my video/announcements last week. You are very special to me and I am comforted to know you guys have my back.
Eileen Live!
Today it’s time for One Die Three Ways! I am excited to be creating with Margaret and Teresita! We will each be creating with the Waterfall & Tags die set, which is a must have if you are a journaler. I love to craft with friends because it’s fun to see how other crafters, craft! I hope you will craft along with us at home, then share it in the Fan Club so we can see your version! If you don’t have the featured die, you can find it here:
MORE ideas for the Waterfall & Tags Die Set:
Here are a few flashback projects made using the Waterfall & Tags Die Set that Eileen and crew will be working with on the live. It’s always good to get more inspiration and that is a versatile die set!
Jenny Marples used them to make journaling/photo spots in this journal:
Lisa Hoel integrated them into her journal pages and hid surprises underneath. You can see more in her post here.
Eileen Hull on the road!
This time next week, I will be on the road to Chicago to go to the H + H Americas show, a trade show for the fiber/stitching/sewing industry. I’ll also be meeting up with creative friends to put our heads together and see how we might fit in here. If the internet is cooperating, I will do a video so you can see what it’s all about!
On Saturday, May 9, I am headed to One Paper Place in Frankfort, IL to teach this Watercolor Garden Gate Album (die coming soon!) You will also learn lots of techniques, have fun and get a tour of Daisy! If you live nearby, tell your family you want this for a Mother’s Day gift 🙂 REGISTER HERE
DAISY Update!
It took a while to shake that flu we had last week but we managed to break free and dive back into the renovating of Daisy. Hayward got the benches done and our friend and neighbor, Joe, made a beautiful scalloped shelf for over my desk and it is perfect! She is looking really good – tonight I finished painting and am ready to move on to decorating.
I found an unopened 3″ memory foam pad in the barn and after a day of expanding, it looks nice and fluffy. I am hoping I can use it for cushions on the benches – stay tuned…
