I spent yesterday completing this
applique collage . Made on a vintage
napkin material approx 12 " square .
A lovely spring green embossed flower
trellis material .
I decided to use a real vintage 1920`s postcard .
" Attatched " with velvet ribbon .
But you have an option of placing
another postcard inside - to change
the look of the collage .
I used various material scraps -
vintage / new and part of a cream
linen napkin - which had holes in-
so i could do the running stitch like on the
bottom right handside .
I randomly placed vintage buttons .
With mostly hand sewn cross stitch
The back has a piece of interfacing
ironed on .
I may try and mount it onto
acid free mountboard - so it can be
placed in a frame for sale .
Or any other suggestions is most welcomed !

I love the idea that you can replace/exchange the postcard ... it could be a very seasonal piece!
This project reminds me of spring....I don't think that's by accident, is it?
Lovely creation Carolyn :) I can see it in a frame very nicely, or it could be made into a pillow cover, this being the front of course :)
Oh, I love the quilt. Such detail. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a nice comment. Made me feel good. Hope your headache is better.
