"Spring Tulips"-Yellow Is an Art Quilt Postcard, 4x6 in size. Tulip flowers and leaves cut from my own hand dyed cotton fabric are appliqued over another piece of dyed fabric. Accents on the flower petals and leaves are done with Inktense pencils. The flowers and leaves are accented with freemotion quilting in clear thread. It is bound with a bright variegated colored yarn, couched on the edges with variegated thread.

Fiber Quilted Postcards are small works of art that can be displayed in many ways; framed, mounted on fabric covered, stretched artist canvases; or even on a plate stand or grouped in a decorative box or basket. The back is just like an ordinary post card, and can be mailed to someone. They are backed with a pale blue fabric, that can be written on using gel pens for scrapbooking. A 64 cent stamp is needed to mail them as they are in the US, or they can be mailed in an envelope. They are a great gift and card in one!

Your postcard purchase will be placed in clear packaging in an envelope to be sent to you.

After a very long, cold, snowy winter, I was in need of some "color therapy",so I dyed many yards of fabric in various bright colors, experimenting with various color combinations. I love the flowers that bloom in my gardens, but while things were still covered in snow, I created a series of postcards of bright colored flowers.
