Wonky Heart Shaped Beaded Art Quilt Pin/Pendant with Flower. Appx. 1 1/2"x2" in size. This pin is made of Black and White fabrics satin stitched together with silver metallic thread in the shape of a wonky heart. The edges are bound with black and silver yarn stitched on with silver thread. Assorted glass beads and crystals in black, pink, and clear sparkle and shimmer on it. A silver tone flower rests at the base of the heart. The back on this pin also allows for use as a pendant, by pinning it onto a necklace or chain you already have, as shown in one of the photos. Art quilt pins look great on lapels, sweaters, or blouses to add a little glitz to any outfit. They also can be used to jazz up an evening bag.

My Art Quilt Pins came about when I had collected an abundance of very small scraps of beautiful "quilt sandwiches", (pieces of batting with fabric fused to both sides). Many of the fabrics were ones that I had painted myself, and I just could not throw them away. I started stitching pieces together into mini crazy quilts, then embellished them with beading, and the Art Quilt Pin was born. They are fabric on the back, also, and stiff enough to hold up well while being worn. These little gems are one of a kind originals that give me a way to express myself and play with the beads, crystals, and fibers that I have been collecting.
