New Creativebug Class!

It's delightful to discover a love note from the past and find it full of wishes for the future. In this sweet project by Dawn M. Cardona, she shares her design for a little paper envelope in the shape of a house that can be gifted on a special occasion, such as a baby shower, wedding, or New Year's, to open at a later date. The paper houses can be personalized with small details in a way that means something to you or your recipient. Frame these envelopes filled with a not-so-secret hidden message to yourself to read in the future, or to give to a friend as a time capsule message.

Available at no cost through San Juan Island Library. To access, use your library card number and password to create a Creativebug Account. Learn more about the class here: https://login.sjlib.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://www.creativebug.com/r/sjlib/classseries/single/make-a-wish-paper-house

New Creativebug Class!

Whether you're a quilter who loves slow stitching or zipping through a project, there’s something deeply satisfying about maximizing efficiency when cutting your fabric. In this class, crafter and quilter Faith Hale demonstrates how to batch cut half square triangles in a range of quantities. You’ll use a ruler and fabric marker to map your cuts, a rotary cutter and mat to make them, and an iron to set everything into place. Master this essential technique and you’ll open the door to faster, more flexible piecing—and a whole world of quilt block possibilities.

Available at no cost through San Juan Island Library. To access, use your library card number and password to create a Creativebug Account.
