celebration

Paint, beads and a strip of ruched fabric are used to embellish this small piece that started out as a fiber postcard.


As you can see from the back, it is fairly heavily quilted.
Snowballs in the backyard would be reason enough for celebration.

    Celebration: what a great title for your post. Both the quilt and the snowballs are reasons to celebrate. They are both beautiful.

    Nice composition, makes me think of the beach and watermelon, or is that wishful thinking on my part? xox Corrine

    Very pretty little project! I'm still waiting for my snowballs to open in south Jersey! It's going to be a great year for them.

    This celebrate quote is the absolute Truth! The teacup in the high school exhibit was fabulous. Your postcard quilt work is both FUN and wonderful to embellish. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen
