I just randomly cut out my objects and moved them around until I liked where they were. Next I fused and then sewed around them in black thread with my darning foot to give them an outline.
A quick way to spark something like this is to have already fused fabric in a basket just waiting for you. I just picked up a fabric I like and cut it. No procrastinating just go for it.

ReplyDeletelove that house and the trees are just to fun!
Oh that is just adorable Kelly, fabulous idea. These would make great Christmas gifts too! xo
ReplyDeleteKelly, I just received my postcard yesterday.... thank you! It is SO beautiful! The one I made seems so inferior now. I was somewhat relieved to see that you're a quilter (I'm not), and that's why it looks quite professional. I will post it on my blog in the next couple days, including a picture of the back, which is GREAT! I really love it and it is so well-crafted. You should sell these!
ReplyDeleteThanks again,
Laura
