I love flowers so I used a flower stencil and Shiva Paintstiks to create this Postage Stamp Quilt. |
I hand embroidered the lettering on this small quilt. The button and rickrack represents the cancellation mark. I chose 13 cents because I was born on the 13th day (of November) and this is 2013. |
I added some hand embroidery and a few buttons as well as a little hand quilting. |
The border and binding fabric is one of the fat quarter fabrics I won from the Shake Your Pom-Pom Blog Hop. The stamp perforation was a scrapbook plastic template that I traced and cut. |
Again I used a button and rickrack to represent the cancellation mark. I chose 8 cents because I like the number 8. |
I had this pin with the American flag so I used the pin to represent the country where I live. |
The large rickrack all around represents the stamp perforations. I added some sequins to the rickrack. |
I like the moon and it's part of my blog name too. I also like stars, so I sewed this netting fabric to the paisley felt. |
I added a satin fabric on this paisley. I added a lot of sequins and wool circles and embroidery to the piece. |
To this paisley I stitched on a piece of star punchinella (also called sequin waste) |
This was a happy accident. I was stitching down this sequin when afterward I felt it was actually 2 sequins that were stuck together. So I pulled the top sequin up like a flower. |
Another satin-like fabric I stitched to the felt paisley. |
Both stamps together so you can see the size difference. |
and a big THANK YOU to Thearica from Pigtales and Quilts for being the cheerleader for us all.

ReplyDeletegreat job, I think your paisley stamp looks like something wonderful you would see under a microscope. I feel like if you look at it long enough it will start to undulate. Great color choices and of course the three dimensional quality is what really makes them stand out. I particularly like how you add simple French knots here and there.
