Just THREE more days before this bundle of creative goodness is available!
Today, I’m sharing another podcast by Melissa from Digital Scrapping HQ, featuring another contributor to the Creative Christmas Bundle. This time she is interviewing Jen Weber from Funk and Weber Designs.
Meet Jen Weber
Jen Weber
Hi I’m Jen Funk Weber! I learned to embroider about the time I learned to read. I also learned to sew, thanks to a crafty mother and an unattended sewing machine. Barbie clothes and furnishings were my first specialty.
As a member of the 4-H Sewing Club, I began designing clothes and crafts, cutting patterns from taped-together newspaper. I took up embroidery again while winter care-taking for remote lodges in Alaska. Ribbons won at the State Fair called attention to the designs and led to requests for patterns which led to Funk & Weber Designs. Together, my husband Mike and I create colorful (usually), playful patterns that bring together our love of nature, wildlife, puzzles, and subtleties.
In addition to print and digital patterns, Funk & Weber Designs offers online stitching and finishing classes.

Jen is crazy about needlework. She even creates patterns! Here is what she is offering as part of the bundle. I haven’t stitched anything in a LONG time. This is so cute, it is very tempting!
Jen’s December Tip:
“We all have routine things we do at this time of year. Pick one thing and mix it up! Doing the same things over and over can get boring and sap your creativity. Change things up to reinstate the creative fun!”

Cheers to YOUR Artful Adventures!
If you are familiar with quilting or needlework, you may recognize this little sunbonnet girl. Sunbonnet girls were very popular in quilting and to embroider on dishtowels. This is based on an old pattern, and was such a fun project for me! It’s sentimental in a number of ways. My grandmother did a lot of quilting, and my mom loves hanging clothes outside.
