This week I sent off four 4"x6" fabric postcards for the
Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show Wish Upon a Card event. An old pair of my jeans is the base fabric for these postcards. The fabric hearts were cut with a sizzix die cut machine and are attached with steam-a-seam 2. Most of the stitching is done by machine. I made the charms following
Alma de la Melena Cox's basic
Telamadera Fusion process for making wood and fabric art. The charms are attached with a little wirework and beading.
This 15"x15" quilt was made to celebrate the 15th birthday of the
Quiltart mailing list. I pieced the green and yellow section of the quilt last fall from hand-dyed fabric scraps as an experiment. The other fabrics are batiks I picked up at a local quilt shop last year. Pieced and quilted by machine, with some hand quilting... more quilting and embellishment yet to come.
A closer look.
