Postcard Quilts

These mini-quilts of scenes from Washington, DC are literally postcard-sized. Springtime brings the cherry blossoms, making it one of the favorite times to visit our nation’s capitol.

I used fusing, inking, and machine free-motion stitching, also known as ‘thread painting’ (though I sometimes call it ‘thread scribbling’). The stitching is easy and fun!

Each scene is about 4 x 6 inches, with border optional.

See Order Form for patterns.
