Red and Black Diamond Shaped Beaded Art Quilt Pin. Appx. 1 1/2"x2 1/2" in size.
This pin is made with red, black, and ivory fabrics satin stitched together with silver thread. The edges are bound with black and gold yarn stitched on with silver thread. The white with gold bead is accented by glass beads in black and red. A silver metallic flower rests at the bottom of the diamond. This is an elegant piece that will coordinate with many outfits. The second photo of this pin shows it with a ruler to see the size easier. The back on this pin also allows for use as a pendant, by pinning it onto a necklace or chain, or cord you already have, as shown in the 3rd photo. 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 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.
