Heading into the end of May I needed to get a fabric post card made for my mother again. (Still no word about whether she LIKES getting my monthly fabric cards). For a change I wanted to do one completely quilted. I thought about feathers and spirals but chose to use different colored threads and "sketch" some ginko leaves.
I don't think I've ever quilted anything so densely and this was a good place to try... Think of all the thread that gets used when filler-quilting on large quilts as many quilters do. I will get this off today and hopefully it will be added to my mother's refrigerator gallery.
It is so pretty! It is also a great idea to try a small project like this for dense quilting! I may try it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilted card Tanya, absolutely beautiful. Wish some one from your family would let you know if your mother likes the cards, bet she tells everyone she sees that 'Tani made this for me' and proudly displays her quilted card gallery, but she forgets when she chats to you, I know my mother was like that and I only found out she liked something when my sister told me. Have also left a message under yesterdays post. Love M from Western Australia.
ReplyDeleteStunningly gorgeous, I'm so sure your Mum is so happy to get one like that, Ginko leaf outline is superb. Cheers, Jean
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I'm sure your mother will like it very much.
ReplyDeleteYour mother's fridge will be a real art gallery! It's a lovely card with beautiful machine quilting.
ReplyDeleteThe card is a perfect place to practice all that fiber-art. I'm sure your mom is happy with her collection and the reminder of your care.
ReplyDeleteGosh, if I got a postcard every month it would go up on the wall. Your postcard is lovely.
ReplyDeleteMiss Tanya, Love the Card!!! Also when you come home for a month this summer and you can't find the red yeast and garlic, you could buy a big supply here and ship it back to your home. Just a thought. Love reading about your life in Japan. Thank you!
ReplyDeletelovely quilting an beautiful design - what a great thing to practice on
ReplyDeleteGinkgo leaves and trees are a favorite of mine--love your sketching! All that dense quilting on the prize-winning masterpieces surely take many miles of thread, I agree. Hope you hear she likes this one!
ReplyDeleteOh my, Tanya, this card is ever so awesome...for a couple of reasons....#1, it was made by you, #2, you have done Gingko leaves on it!!! Oh, and btw, our little gingko tree is leafing out nicely for its size, about 4 feet tall....gathering box of things that you need, and should go in mail Tues next....Mon. is Memorial Day holiday....big hugs, Pat in IN
ReplyDeleteReally artistically done.
ReplyDeleteTanya...I use cinnamon capsules for cholesterol. My doc kept bugging me but I refused medication. Told him I had to fix it myself. Taking 2 cinnamon capsules (about a teaspoon) daily plus a garlic capsule lowered my bad cholesterol 30 points in a 4 month period.
ReplyDeletePS...the postcard is awesome.
This is exquisite! Lovely work congrats!
