Quilt Canada<\/a> is coming to Vancouver in late May\/early June.\u00a0 In conjunction with the Canadian Quilters’ Association, Cindy at Cindy’s Threadworks<\/a> is sponsoring a quilted postcard challenge. The postcards will be on display at Quilt Canada and will be available for purchase by donation, with all proceeds going to the BC Children\u2019s Hospital.<\/p>\n

The theme is \u201cInspired by Nature\u201d.\u00a0 I had planned to use some of the leaf photos<\/a> I took last October.\u00a0 But with the May 1 deadline fast approaching, I wasn’t sure I would have time to edit and print them, as well as do the quilting.<\/p>\n

Then I remembered that when I made my SAQA auction donation<\/a> in March, I had to print the leaf image twice, because the first attempt didn’t print the bottom inch (due to operator error!).\u00a0 But since most of the image was good, I kept it to use in another project – like this one.<\/p>\n

I cut the printed fabric down from 13 x 13 inches to 10 x 12 inches.\u00a0 I fused it to gray acrylic felt, and and free-motion quilted the leaf and the pebbles. Here is the front and the back after the quilting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I fused a layer of Decor-Bond to the back to secure the quilting threads and to add stiffness.\u00a0 Then I fused on the backing fabric.\u00a0 I cut out three 4 x 6 inch pieces for postcards.\u00a0 I straight-stitched twice around the edges, and wrote my contact information on the backs.\u00a0 I started working on these Monday morning, and had them in the mail that afternoon.<\/p>\n
