Those are some good tutorials, Carla. They are such fun to make!
Thank-you for the tutorials; I want to do more fabric, paper and other kinds of jewelry!
I love your site! Can I ask where you got the artwork for the scrabble tiles? I could not find a link with it.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Jennifer, here is the corrected link:

The artist drew them on scrapbooking or decorative paper. They do have a delightful childlike style, don’t they?
Thank you for your comment, too! Carla
Sadly, I too can’t find the source, even with the corrected link?
Susy, looks like the web site is now defunct. I would google “scrabble tile tutorial” and then design your own. I will put up a note on this post since it is a couple of years old now.
Hi Carla,
Awww, thanks for your reply. I was aware the post was an old one. I have searched for the tutorial and it seems to have disappeared into thin air, I thought something so accomplished would appear on a blog somewhere but it seems not.
I am just looking at your beautiful quilts on pinterest. You are very talented and must have amazing patience. I could never do that. Thank you for replying anyway Carla.
Thanks for all the ideas and sites,its very generous of you to share them.
