A Quilted Pillow Shams Tutorial {and GIVEAWAY} : :

Happy Monday, friends! I'm so excited to be sharing my very first Fat Quarter Gang project on the Art Gallery Fabrics Blog! Along with an amazing fabric Giveaway, of course! 

Art Gallery Fabrics Fat Quarter Gang

I'm SO thrilled to be a part of this team gang! 

HOMEPAGE_fatQuarterGANG

Today I'm showing you how to create a set of pretty patchwork quilted pillow shams, using LillyBelle by Bari J. for Art Gallery Fabrics! You can find the full project tutorial here or simply by clicking on the tutorial image below.
 

The Quilted Pillow Sham Tutorial 3

I chose prints from the LillyBelle Warm Sunset palette for this first project and right away I knew I wanted to make them into pillow shams! The feel of Art Gallery fabrics is so perfect for bedding, the soft plush from the quilting make these shams super comfy, and the patchwork of such gorgeous prints layer beautifully with other bedding pieces.

Now I have the honor of giving away a fat quarters bundle of these LillyBelle prints right here!

  122. Lilybell would be used to add to gray stache (I use gray as my neutral as it goes with black & navy). Then i Have a green background large quilt which I am embellishing with ruffle & yoyo flowers some up to the size of a saucer or small plate. Buttons would come into play and with scraps make necklaces, earrings etc.. The colours in Lilybelle would glow.

  132. Консоли от корпорации Microsoft не сразу захватили всемирную известность и доверие игроков. Первая консоль под названием Xbox, вышедшая в далеком 2001 году, существенно уступала PlayStation 2 по количеству проданных приставок. Однако все поменялось с выходом Xbox 360 - консоли седьмого поколения, которая стала по-настоящему "народной" для жителей России и государств СНГ - игры на xbox 360 freeboot. Интернет-сайт Ru-Xbox.Ru является популярным ресурсом среди поклонников приставки, поскольку он предлагает игры для Xbox 360, которые поддерживают все существующие версии прошивок - совершенно бесплатно! Зачем играть на оригинальном железе, в случае если есть эмуляторы? Для Xbox 360 игры выходили долгое время и представлены как посредственными проектами, так и хитами, многие из которых даже сегодня остаются уникальными для это консоли. Некие пользователи, желающие сыграть в игры для Xbox 360, смогут задать вопрос: для чего нужны игры для прошитых Xbox 360 freeboot либо различными версиями LT, если есть эмулятор? Рабочий эмулятор Xbox 360 хоть и существует, однако он требует производительного ПК, для покупки которого будет нужно вложить существенную сумму. К тому же, всевозможные артефакты в виде исчезающих текстур, отсутствия некоторых графических эффектов и освещения - могут значительно попортить впечатления об игре и отбить желание для ее предстоящего прохождения. Что предлагает этот веб-сайт? Наш веб-сайт на сто процентов приурочен к играм для приставки Xbox 360. У нас вы можете совершенно бесплатно и без регистрации загрузить игры на Xbox 360 через torrent для следующих версий прошивок консоли: - FreeBoot; - LT 3.0; - LT 2.0; - LT 1.9. Каждая прошивка имеет свои особенности обхода встроенной защиты. Потому, для запуска той или иной игры потребуется загрузить специальную ее версию, которая стопроцентно адаптирована под одну из четырех перечисленных выше прошивок. На нашем интернет-сайте вы можете без усилий получить желаемый проект под нужную прошивку, так как возле каждой игры находится название версии (FreeBoot, LT 3.0/2.0/1.9), под которую она адаптирована. Гостям данного ресурса доступна особая категория игр для 360-го, созданных для Kinect - специального дополнения, которое считывает все движения одного или нескольких игроков, и позволяет управлять с помощью их компьютерными персонажами. Большой выбор ПО Кроме возможности загрузить игры на Xbox 360 Freeboot либо LT различных версий, тут можно подобрать программное обеспечение для консоли от Майкрософт: - разные версии Dashboard, которые позволяют кастомизировать интерфейс консоли под свои нужды, сделав его более удобным и нынешним; - браузеры; - просмотрщики файлов; - сохранения для игр; - темы для консоли; - программы, для конвертации образов и записи их на диск. Помимо вышеперечисленного игры на Xbox 360 Freeboot можно запускать не с дисковых, а с USB и других носителей, используя программу x360key, которую вы можете достать на нашем интернет-сайте. Гостям доступно огромное количество полезных статей, а кроме этого форум, где можно пообщаться с единомышленниками или попросить совета у более опытнейших хозяев консоли.

  133. Магазин питания для спорта, официальный сайт которого доступен по адресу: SportsNutrition-24.Com, реализует огромный ассортимент спортивного питания, которые принесут пользу и заслуги как проф спортсменам, так и любителям. Интернет-магазин осуществляет свою деятельность многие годы, предоставляя клиентам со всей Рф высококачественное спортивное питание, а кроме этого витамины и особые препараты - https://sportsnutrition-24.com/sportivnyj-perekus/. Спортпит представляет собой категорию продуктов, которая призвана не только улучшить спортивные достижения, да и положительно влияет на здоровье организма. Схожее питание вводится в повседневный рацион с целью получения микро- и макроэлементов, витаминов, аминокислот и белков, а также прочих недостающих веществ. Не секрет, что организм спортсмена в процессе наращивания мышечной массы и адаптации к повышенным нагрузкам, остро нуждается в должном количестве полезных веществ. При всем этом, даже правильное питание и употребление растительной, а также животной пищи - не гарантирует того, что организм получил необходимые аминокислоты либо белки. Чего нельзя сказать о качественном питании для спорта. Об наборе товаров Интернет-магазин "SportsNutrition-24.Com" реализует качественную продукцию, которая прошла ряд проверок и получила сертификаты качества. Посетив магазин, клиенты могут подобрать для себя товары из следующих категорий: - L-карнитинг (Л-карнитин) представляет собой вещество, родственное витамину B, синтез которого осуществляется в организме; - гейнеры, представляющие из себя, белково-углеводные консистенции; - BCAA - средства, содержащие в собственном составе три важные аминокислоты, стимулирующие рост мышечной массы; - протеин - чистый белок, употреблять который вы можете в виде коктейлей; - всевозможные аминокислоты; - а также ряд прочих товаров (нитробустеры, жиросжигатели, особые препараты, хондропротекторы, бустеры гормона роста, тестобустеры и многое другое). Об оплате и доставке Интернет-магазин "SportsNutrition-24.Com" предлагает большое разнообразие товаров, которое полностью способно удовлетворить профессиональных и начинающих атлетов, включая любителей. Большой опыт позволил организации сделать связь с наикрупнейшими поставщиками и производителями спортивного питания, что позволило сделать ценовую политику гибкой, а цены - демократичными! К примеру, аминокислоты или гейнер заказать вы можете по цене, которая на 10-20% ниже, чем у конкурентов. Оплата возможна как наличным, так и безналичным расчетом. Магазин предлагает огромный выбор методов оплаты, включая оплату различными электронными платежными системами, а помимо этого дебетовыми и кредитными картами. Главный офис компании расположен в Санкт-Петербурге, однако доставка товаров осуществляется во все населенные пункты РФ. Помимо самовывоза, получить товар вы можете при помощи любой транспортной компании, подобрать которую каждый клиент может в личном порядке.
