A Mini Wedding Art Quilt for a Wonderful Niece #2 of 2

 

The one on the right, was shown on previous blog.

Here is the second of the two Mini Art Quilts that I made for the niece who got married this year.

 What I used to make this 11” x 9.5” mini art quilt:

• Laser printed transparency sheet with picture pulled from the computer (printed in black and white) 
• Coordinating cotton fabric for both frame and handmade fabric flower
• Peltex batting sandwiched between  the fabric to help make the mini art quilt stiff
• Ribbon
• Found decorations
• Opalescent “pearls” sewn onto store-bought fabric flower embellishments
• Silver crystal seed beads

I also frayed the edges of the frame, and used white decorative stitch on the ribbon around the frame

His and Her Aprons

Here are his and her aprons I made as a wedding gift.  They both took only an afternoon to make. I modeled the chef apron from one I bought years ago for my husband. Yep, he's the cook in our house. It's probably the reason we've been married for over 35 years. He does all the cooking. After all, he once told me, he wanted to know what he was eating. Believe me, I cannot cook at all.  My excuse is that I suffer from anosmia. Thank goodness he is a wonderful cook!

 The fancy one was copied from a fabric panel I purchased at my local Hancock Fabric store. I've only made one of each, but I'm thinking that I'll be making them for Christmas gifts this year. I'm hoping to be able to post a tutorial for these soon. 

Wedding Crazy Quilt

This was my first attempt at making a quilt. Of course, it turned out to be a wall hanging for a family member getting married. I can't remember the size, maybe 18" x 26"--I was very proud of myself!

I really wish I could make some small quilts like these over at Cathy's Crazy by Design blog. They are absolutely beautiful!
I just discovered the blog of Lavendula Loveliness. Everything in it is gorgeous, all her works, as well as the design of her blog.
