Fun with Fabric and Thread

I finished my little collage this weekend:

I really like hand quilting, but on a full sized quilt it just takes too darn long. So I’m thinking I’ll make more mini quilts, they’re so fun! I wonder if anyone would buy such things?

I also practiced a little embroidery, inspired by this charming book from the Japanese market:

Tinycards

Tiny Garden! Tiny Embroidery! I made my tiny practice bits into little (but bigger than tiny) cards.

    Lucy, your little quilt is really pretty! I would buy one.
    I’m glad I found your blog again after Secret Pal 2. That was a long time ago!

    Hey Lucy! I am your back-tacker! Perhaps you would like to tell me your favorite colors?

    Lovely mini quilts. I found the link to your site from the snail mail group. Looking forward to getting to know you better.
