Tiny Fabric Art Quilts


So after completing my Frida Sardine can altered art piece I was quickly reminded that I am not just a maker of aprons and purses. So I started laying out all of my special fabrics to make an art quilt - then I got distracted by the cute Little Red Riding Hood scrap and needed to turn it into something quickly! I started making these tiny art quilts, then I decided they would make great brooches. And now I can't wait to make more!

I tried really hard not to make an owl-related item, but a little hoot snuck in! But my favorite is the sewing one. They are on sale in my Etsy shop now.

A little more Fabric Art please.



So, I have been trying to push myself to create more fabric art, which is what I love to do. Don't get me wrong, I love sewing in general - aprons, snack bags, zipper pouches. But I feel like so much more goes into one of my "wall - hangings". I even made up a crafty little fabric house last week - photos to come. This blue with an orange heart art quilt has been "in-progress" for about 2 years. I just never took the time to complete it until this week. It's on sale now in my Etsy shop. I made 5 of the heart background blocks at once and I am slowly figuring out what thoughts to put on them, and how to embellish them. So now I still have a pink one to make - gotta think of the words for it...
