📸 This Month’s Quilt Block Mania Theme is Beauty & Style—So I Brought My Camera
Beauty is everywhere—if you know how to look for it. A perfectly pressed seam. That just-right shade of coral. The way thread shimmers under the light.
This month’s nutcracker is my little tribute to seeing beauty in everyday life.
✨ Meet the Photographer Nutcracker—a stylish little shutterbug with an eye for detail and a flair for storytelling. Whether he’s snapping photos of your latest quilt or just adding some charm to your wall, he’s here to remind us that capturing beauty is an art in itself.
đź“· Style Tips for Your Nutcracker:
-
Use metallic thread or foil to mimic a camera flash
-
Add a neck strap with ribbon or cord (hello, accessorizing!)
-
Personalize his outfit with your fanciest scraps—he is on theme, after all
