Welcome back. Today I have another card in the sewing theme, this time using stamps from set 461 Sew Fabulous. I mentioned my mom was a wonderful seamstress and she had a sewing machine just like the one on my card. In fact I still have it. It's a portable one and it has its own case. Back then they weren't plastic, they were wood.
In making this card I actually got my sewing machine out to stitch up the quilt I made from different squares of designer paper/card stock.I used 2 different decorative stitches on the quilt. Again memories of my mom flooded back as I worked on this card. I think she was here with me as I completed it.
Well that is it for today. Thanks so much for taking time from your busy schedule to visit. Have a great day, see you soon.
Love your sewn quilted background Barbara. Something I've yet to master!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Love the quilt! and the colors! The sewing machine seems to pop right out there!
ReplyDeleteSew fun with the quilted background! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour card makes me wish I could sew. I hate sewing machines, but I sure love the results when they are used in making quilted backgrounds like you did. If I make a quilted background I have to draw my stitches on. At least I don't get all tensed up like I would with a machine. Your sewing machine image works wonderfully with the quilt pattern.
