Fiber Art for a Cause
Today I completed two postcards which I will send to Virginia Spiegel who is the heart of Fiber Art for a Cause, a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Virginia has raised over $50,000 through the sale of fabric postcards just in the past year. These postcards will be available at the Houston Quilt Show.
Two totally different styles!
This piece is kind of interesting. I quilted the background and then I cut and fused the little blue-green pieces over the top of it. I tried to find a quote about balloons to use but had no luck finding one so I wimped out and used a stamp. I need more stamps with words - this is all I have besides one that says Art and a bunch of greeting card style stamps. Maybe I should have used Get Well Soon, LOL. This little girl doesn't look happy at all!
This postcard was made from pieces of a scrap bag that my friend Heather sent me. All the fabric was sewn into little tubes so I opened them up and used parts of them. I even left the seam on one piece for extra interest. The center piece is a neat embellishment that was in the bag. A lot of quilting and it's done. A nice simple piece.
Those are wonderful! You are so talented doing these unusual embellishments! I'm envious-

I LIKE 'em! 'Specially the 2nd one! Quilted things always appeal to me! But I think the little girl on the first one is precious! And I like how you have her holding the fabric balloons! Hey! I have a button that reads: Pop my balloon & I'll kick your a**! You could have had THAT! LOL! Guess not, huh?

Awesome, and thanks for the info.

She inspired me to start http://www.gift-it-forward.com, a website that sells fabric items (postcards etc.) and all of the money goes to women diagnosed with breast cancer.
